Best veterinary probiotic supplement out there
I think just about everyone should speak to their vets about probiotic supplements for their pets. It’s fairly well-accepted that probiotics are beneficial for those animals with digestive issues, but there’s even speculation as to whether they can provide benefits to healthy animals. I know I’ve seen a few cat foods that include probiotic strains in the food itself, but most don’t (and even for those that do, I’m pretty skeptical of how well the bacteria hold up to all the processing cat foods go through), so if your vet recommends probiotic therapy, you’ll need to find a supplement like this one.I entered the probiotic world when my cat was diagnosed with some sort of nebulous autoimmune thing that targets, among other things, his digestive tract. Diarrhea…constipation…vomiting…regurgitating…stomatitis…allergy symptoms…anorexia…he’s had them all. Treating it has been a nightmare, but probiotics were one of the vet’s first suggestions, filed under the heading “unlikely to hurt even if they don’t help.” Believe me, it’s a straw I was happy to grasp.A lot of probiotics designed for pets come with flavorings and proteins designed to make them more palatable. I’d started my cat on those Purina packets, and I have to say, the flavorings work; he loved them. Problem is, if you’re undergoing an elimination diet or if you’re limiting antigenic proteins — which many of the people searching out pet probiotics are — the supplements aren’t in compliance with the diet. Seems to me those Purina ones have beef protein in them, for instance.It took some doing, but by aggravating vets far and wide, I was finally able to find a supplement that’s completely free of protein: this one. (And I called the company to verify.) So right there, that’s an enormous benefit. Another one is that this contains seven bacterial strains, when most veterinary probiotic supplements only have one. It looks expensive at first, but compared to the others on the market, it’s not bad. In short, Proviable is a great choice for a probiotic supplement.(I hate to harp, but I’m going to do it anyway: don’t take my word for it…or anyone else’s on the internet, for that matter. Never give your pet any kind of supplement without running it by a vet first. One thing I’ve discovered over a lifetime of pet ownership is that a lot of the common knowledge out there is wrong.)The capsules are easy to open and the powder inside has no flavor — I tasted some to be sure — so even those pets who won’t let you add meds to their food should be able to ignore this. I’m sure most people add it to canned food so as to dissolve the powder, but my cat’s intake of canned food is hit or miss — as much as I wish it were otherwise, since canned food is nearly always superior to dry — so I sprinkle it on his kibbles. He gets one capsule daily.A couple notes:1. High temperatures kill probiotics. At minimum, think long and hard about whether you want to order a supplement like this from the web in the summer months; the truck that brings them will not be refrigerated. You might run the risk of expiration issues, but my strategy is to get a few boxes in April. A local source might be another option (though keep in mind that you can’t guarantee that the shipping/storage prior to your buying the stuff won’t do the bacteria in).2. The supplement is protein-free, as I said. The capsules, however, are not. If you’re limiting proteins, you’ll definitely want to open the capsules and administer only the powder. (Since the capsule’s contents are tasteless, I’d recommend doing that regardless; it’s way less traumatic than giving them a pill.)This got long, but the TL;DR version is that probiotics are a great thing, and of the veterinary probiotics on the market, these are a superior choice.

Life Changing!
I have a beautiful, healthy German shepherd that has separation anxiety from me when I travel. It has caused so much stress for her and I both whenever I need to travel with my family. I’ve tried so many different things in the past to try and alleviate her stress, but over time it has only worsened. Besides from leaving her with a family member “whom she loves”, never boarding, vet given anxiety meds, among several other types of probiotics, nothing has helped. Last few times I had to leave her she had terrible diarrhea throughout my home, requiring my poor mother to clean up after her daily. I thought it was a lost cause & nothing would help. I researched for several days & came upon this product. I received it 2 days before going away on an 8 day trip. I managed to give her one before I left & instructed my mother to continue daily. Well, she not only didn’t have any accidents whatsoever, but was the happiest I had ever seen her when I arrived back from my trip. She was happy, energetic & very healthy in appearance. This stuff seems like magic! I can’t begin to explain at what a relief it is knowing that not only can I travel without worry, but knowing she’s happy & feeling good is beyond priceless. I’ll be a lifelong customer & pray this stuff is always available!

My pittie (now 15 years old) has always had bouts of “strawberry jelly poops” and other alarming things about 4x a year. She has been to the vet countless times, and they just keep “prescribing” these. I now buy them (and the syringe of paste for bouts of more severe digestive upset) here and give the pill sprinkled on her food daily. Since giving them daily, no issues at all.

Très bon pour mon petit chien
