good for the gut

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024

I give this to my collie because she's a picky eater who doesn't consistently eat her food every day (but I want her to take a probiotic daily). The pill form makes that easier. She doesn't love the taste but doesn't hate it either. I like that it's effective.

Easy to swallow, and very effective alternative to fortiflora

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024

My pup has a very sensitive stomach and this is a monthly purchase for our household. Since starting her on it a few months ago we have not had to wake up for a singular midnight potty run. Ive been singing its praises to any pet parents who have fur babies with sensitive tummies. Its also a very reasonably small pill.

Best veterinary probiotic supplement out there

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2017

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.

I initially purchased prebiotic from my vet. It was perscibed for runny poop. After the initial box was almost empty I searched for the same on Amazon. I was pleased to find it, I ordered a box and have already recommended to my mom for her pup. Each capsule is in a blister pack that's EASY to pop out. This capsule is helpful for digestive health.
