Chewy.com reached out to us earlier this month and asked if we would do a special review for them on
Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets FortiFlora Probiotic Dog Supplement. After a little research on the product, we agreed.
Why did we agree?
As Monty has gotten a little older, his stomach has gotten a little more sensitive. While we are careful to watch what he eats, Monty sometimes helps himself to forbidden items. Tissues are one of his favorites. Additionally, loud noises (fireworks, thunder) scare him and his vet-prescribed meds can give him a marvelous case of the runs afterwards.
To my amazement, on the chewy.com website, this product has received 231 comments, with 229 folks recommending this product. I checked out a couple of other websites and saw that this product consistently brings in good reviews.
This product is also amazingly affordable on the chewy.com website. Right now it is going for $20.26, with it's normal price being $25.99
Per chewy.com:
Forti-Flora
is a probiotic. If you are not too familiar, probiotics are live
microorganisms that, when ingested, have beneficial effect on intestinal
function by
promoting improved intestinal microbial balance. The probiotic used in
FortiFlora is Enterococcus Faecium SF 68. Nestle Purina has been
conducting research in the area of probiotics since it opened in 1987 in
Lausanne, Switzerland. It was one of the first
research centers in the world to look at the molecular interaction of
probiotic bacteria with intestinal cells. Since then, Nestle has
published over 200 articles on it probiotics research.
FortiFlora
helps to re-establish a normal microflora balance in the
gastrointestinal tract. The beneficial bacteria help to nourish the
intestinal cells ad protect
against the colonization by pathogenic bacteria, which can cause
diarrhea. In general, FortiFlora should be given once a day for 30 days.
What did we get?
This product is amazingly easy to use! In each box, there are 30 individual packets - one for each day. The packets are small and are meant to be sprinkled over your dog's food. We were a little worried about Monty eating it, since our boy is picky about his food, but he has no issues at all with it.
If you notice, this is Part 1 of this review. Chewy.com has asked us to take a month to evaluate it. Monty has been using this product for several days now and we will be publishing Part 2 shortly. Thank you, chewy.com for giving us an opportunity to review this product!
...and of course - our handsome Monty thanks you!
