Should have thought of getting this sooner for my favorite four-legged guy! Poor guy's tummy sensitivities and frequent diarrhea spells have made him unbelievably picky. It's been a tough road nourishing him because I'll find food he likes only for him to eventually tire of it. Then I have to perform song and dance or hide-and-seek-kibble for him to maybe eat a small handful every 4-5 days (and just enough to keep him alive) until one of us finds something else he likes but doesn't give him tummy aches or make him depressed about eating even though we know he's starving. I never knew dogs could be so hard to feed. I used to think all dogs ate all and everything!I bought this probiotic not expecting much but the change in him was very noticeable. His stools were runny until about three dosages/meals/poops later, when his poop started looking glorious (I won't go into detail so just know that it was really nice-looking poop). Anyway, my shepherd's behavior and personality have been rejuvenated. He's eating more regularly and his appetite is much more consistent. His incredibly toxic farts have drastically improved; i.e. they've become non-existent, thanks be to Heaven! He even scampers like a young puppy when he runs and plays! I don't know if this result will happen for every dog (though I hope so) but I'm completely sold. (I ingest plenty of probiotic yogurt but have been inspired to buy probiotic pills for myself!) Lastly, I was surprised my picky dog ate these tablets straight up. No pill pockets were required; I offered it to him as if it was a special training treat. Then again, he was probably starving.He's gone through the entire bottle so I got the exact same brand but non-chewable this time. It takes a lot less tablets required for his weight and it's cheaper too. Will try sprinkling over his food and see what happens.-UPDATE-Love the capsuled version. Lasts longer because less is required for bigger dogs. I just open the capsules and sprinkle into his cold or room-temperature food. (Heated or warm food seems to kill the potency.) Same great results!Also my new little rescue has also responded favorably to VetriScience probiotics. She's never had pooping or gas issues but her scratching has noticeably subsided. Thumbs up.

This product is amazing. One of our dogs and skin issues (staph and flea dermatitis- poor little guy!) and had to put on antibiotics a number of times. I gave him extra probiotics (not this probiotic) to counter the effect on the good bacteria but after awhile they did not seem to work as well. He kept having soft, unformed poops and his anal glands were getting impacted as a result. His fur was getting dry and limp looking despite being groomed. Gave him plain yogurt, pumpkin purée and no changes. I was at my wits end.Then I did some research on Amazon and found this product. I changed his kibble diet to boiled white rice and chicken to give his tummy a rest in the past, and it did not help too much. This time, with the rice and chicken diet, I gave him 3 tabs of the Vetri- Probiotic per day- one before the am and pm meals and the last one around 9-10pm because I have read that a good amount of healing occurs during sleep.It took about a week and I was concerned that it wasn't working but lo and behold, today his poop was moist and FIRM today!!(I never thought I'd see the day when I would get excited about dog poo- I need to get out more often... ;-)).Our 10 yo pup feels better and doesn't scoot his backside on the floor anymore. Note: I did add a teaspoon of coconut oil per meal last week and a few days ago, added a teaspoon of coconut flour to his meals as I read that the good bacteria thrive and feed on fiber. Coconut flour is high in fiber and pretty low in carbs (bad bacteria feed on sugars and carbs).The Vetri-probiotics helped to heal and soothe his gut (think it was the glutamine and herbs in this product) and the coconut fiber helped the good bacteria.Anyway, we, and our pup, are very happy, thanks to Vetri-probiotics and Amazon.

I have used this product recently on my rescued chiwinnis,(dachshund and chihuahua) since one has a very sensitive[ stomach. It fixes her up in a couple of hours, and she wants to eat again.I discovered Vetri Science Bowel Defense, when I had one of my dogs in kidney distress which caused nausea and sick stomach. It worked great for him and helped him to eat. My dog was 19, and I did lose him, but he never wasted away from not being able to eat. In fact he was a little chunky when we lost him to a stroke brought on by kidney failure.It works well when your dog has eaten something you know that will upset his stomach, give a dose and he wont get sick has been my experience.For those of ya'll that have little dogs with sensitive stomachs a daily dose will help keep intestines balanced with the proper flora and help alleviate nausea and diarrhea.Having had rescue animals for years, I always research and try natural products instead of going the typical vet route. Don't get me wrong I have helped send my vets children to college, but I appreciate having products that I can dispense at home and save a trip to the vet.I use a lot of Vetri Science Products and have had very favorable response.
