PetAg Bene-Bac - 4.5 oz Powder - Probiotics for Dogs, Cats, Exotic & Wildlife Mammals

This product was great for my pet bunny!! The size of the bottle was perfect and I still have so much left! It didn’t have a bad smell and it helped my bunny so much after taking him to the vet :) The price was very good for this product!!

Our 10-year-old bunny developed GI stasis during a 14-day course of antibiotics. It was a tough situation, and we knew how important it was to help his gut recover by restoring healthy microbes. We started using PetAg Bene-Bac Plus Powder, and it’s made a real difference. We gave the probiotic at least 2 hours after the antibiotic doses to avoid any interference. Once the antibiotics ended, we continued using the probiotic daily and long-term, not just for a few days. It’s been part of his routine since then to keep his digestion stable. He’s more active now, eating eagerly, and even doing happy binkies again. We also support him with fresh herbs and sprinkle dried echinacea on his veggies—the probiotic powder mixes in easily and he takes it without fuss. Highly recommend this for rabbits recovering from antibiotics or GI stasis. It gave us peace of mind and really helped our bunny bounce back.

This probiotic is a life saver for my 6 year old chinchilla. She had a surgery last summer and developed post-surgery stacis, producing virtually droppings. Even though we had the prescribed stacis medicine, this lasted for about 4 days at which point I started to add this probiotic into the her critical care, and she started passing the very next day! So I keep adding the probiotic to the critical care until after a few more weeks she finally went back to her normal diet. Then just last week, I noticed she seemed to have some sever abdomen pain. She barely walked or moved, and when she did she can't keep her belly off the floor, and eventually just lie on her side. We suspected it was because she chewed some tape off the cardboard that we use as fences during her play time, and might have swallowed it. Since she almost didn't eat or drink or had any droppings for the entire day, the most urgent thing was to get some water and food into her. So I gave her some critical care mixed with the probiotic, some more lukewarm water (the key is really to make sure she takes in water and nutrition), and some left over pain medicine from her previous doctor visits. The exotic vets weren't in the office for the night so we had to wait until next morning for her to be seen. I was so worried about her since she looked absolutely awful, that I was even afraid that I might wake up and found her dead. But to my surprise, when I rushed to her cage the next morning, I found some new droppings on the cage floor! She still looked a little out of shape, but at least was moving around a bit more, and she finished the few pellets left in her bowl the previous night, meaning she wanted to eat. So I gave her another feeding of critical care mixed with the probiotic, and left some more food in her bowl. After she had her rest in the day, she was almost as good as new, and was producing the most beautiful droppings I've ever seen :) By that point, I was confident that after a final critical care feeding, she should be good to go. I can't help sharing this long story because I was so happy to have nursed my chinchilla back to health with the help of this probiotic. I can't completely rule out the possibility of coincidence, but my experience with the probiotic has been so positive, that I'd like to give a high recommendation. I'd like to wish good health to all pets, and happiness to their owners.

AWESOME product...Ive been using it for years ! Great for transitioning pups from mom to water. No dieareeya

I have a senior cat (somewhere over 16) who was losing weight, vomiting and had terrible diarrhea. After extensive vet testing, the best they could come up with was probably IBD and good luck with that. He was too old and thin to safely biopsy. So I started researching and decided food sensitivities might be an issue. At the same time The Kitten Lady on YouTube mentioned Bene-bac for sickly kittens or any cat with digestive issues. My old boy now eats a limited ingredient wet turkey (chicken makes his gut explode) with Bene-bac added. He really misses his old wet food, so getting him to eat is a challenge, but the presence of the product doesn't deter him at all. He eats it the same with or without the product if I mix it in, maybe even making him like it a little more. He's not a fan of it just sitting on top of the food - maybe a texture issue? So his poo is almost back to normal, though still super stinky (he sneaks the other cat's food occasionally), and his stomach no longer makes endless growling and popping sounds. Something is working! I don't know if it was just switching to a novel protein or if adding Bene-bac did the trick, but I figure an old cat's digestion isn't what it used to be. Adding pre- and probiotics would probably help, can't hurt, and it's not very expensive, since one bottle has lasted weeks.

This was recommended by my Avian vet for my cockatiel. Just a sprinkle on his food for two weeks has helped him tremendously.

Did not fix my kitten's diarrhea (believe it was the formula we were giving him), but was great while he was on antibiotics. Still use this every so often for both of my cats, has multiple bacterias rather than just one so is better than Fortiflora in my opinion!

I mix this probiotic powder w/ baby food or applesauce whenever one of my pet rats is taking antibiotics, to maintain a healthy amount of beneficial bacteria in their intestines (which antibiotics kill). Probiotics aren't just for humans - they can help pet animals as well. :-) This brand has a good variety of different bacteria species. It's also easy to mix into food & has no flavor, aside from slight sweetness. That's also a big plus, because animals can be fussy!

Meine alte Katzendame Annabell hat Probleme mit ihrer Verdauung; sie druckst oft stundenlang herum, kriegt ihre steinharten K*****chen nicht los, hat Schrunden am After. Deshalb habe ich Bene-Bac bestellt. Für den alten Kater Carino hatte ich das Pulver vor Jahren schon einmal bestellt. Er hatte damals Darmgeschwüre, hat aber seine schwere Krankheit total überwunden, ist in der Hinsicht absolut gesund geworden und hat erstaunlicherweise seither keine Würmer mehr gehabt (ich lasse das ab und an untersuchen). Da meine beiden Alten abends je ein wenig Sahne (auch schon, um die Verdauung anzuregen) bekommen, habe ich Annabell das Pulver unter die drei Teelöffel Sahne gerührt. Doch auch der alte Kater kriegt jetzt alle paar Tage so ein kleines Messlöffelchen davon in die Sahne, denn sein Fell lässt ein Bisschen zu wünschen übrig, ist zottelig und schuppig. Beide Katzen sind super mäkelig, aber die Sahne mit dem Pulver mögen sie gern und schlabbern alles genüsslich auf. Annabells Probleme sind schon ein wenig besser geworden. Auffallend ist vor allem, dass ihr Fell ganz seidig und weich geworden ist und richtig strahlt. Ich denke, man kann seinen Katzen nichts Besseres tun als ihnen bei Problemen dieses Darmaufbaupulver zu geben.

I use this for my guinea pigs as needed, works great.

Hat meine Tierheilpraktikerin empfohlen als meine Katze immer wieder Durchfall hatte. Zum Aufbau der Darmflora. Sehr empfehlenswert, seitdem mache in 1 x jährlich eine Prophylaxe zur Darmsanierung. Negativ Punkt sehr teuer.

Thank you for stocking this product. Works great for Guinea pigs and rabbits

Eine super Ergänzung zum täglichen Futter. Als Kur mehrmals im Jahr geeignet und die Vögel vertragen es gut. Es weißt einen leicht süßlichen Geschmack auf, was die Tiere somit nicht davon abweist.
