Review: Affordable - Great product and price Review: I'm glad that I made the switch from Fortiflora to Probios - Our 13 year old terrier was diagnosed many months ago with Cushing's Disease. As our veterinary hospital continues to adjust her daily meds to the correct level for this condition, one problem we're dealing with now is a weakened immune system. As a result, she's been on antibiotics frequently over the past few months. While antibiotics attack and kill infections and unwanted bacteria, they also disrupt and kill the normal balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut -- resulting in belly discomfort, gurgling, and diarrhea (or constipation in some dogs). In the past, I've usually just given my dogs a little dollop of plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt during those rare times when they'd been prescribed antibiotics. Unfortunately, my little aging terrier has developed a strong dislike for yogurt, so our veterinarian had sold us some Fortiflora along with her antibiotic. Fortiflora is one of a number of different probiotics which contain good bacteria that can help boost the levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut. We'd been using it for 4-5 months during her stretches on antibiotics. After reading some of the positive reviews on Probios, I decided to give it a try. For starters, it has more types of beneficial bacteria included in its formulation. In addition to the same E.faecium type that Fortiflora has, it also contains three different types of Lactobacilli. I'm glad that I made the switch for a couple of reasons. It's a less expensive option than Purina's Fortiflora. Also, she seems to be doing much better on it. Besides an improved appetite, her energy level and enthusiasm has increased markedly. And, as any of us who love our pooches know, that's an even better reason than the cost savings! While I used to only use probiotics during antibiotic treatments, I've now started giving her Probios daily as preventive care. The only thing that I did like better about the Fortiflora over the Probios is its palatability. She seemed to like the taste of the brown Fortiflora granules so I usually just sprinkled her dose on top of her food. The Probios probiotic is a white powder and doesn't seem to have that same appealing taste to her. But, it doesn't appear that it tastes bad to her either. I just end up mixing it up well into her food (a mix of kibble, chicken/fish, and veggies).
