PRO PLAN VETERINARY DIETS Fortiflora Feline Supplement 30x1g

Product Information

Fortiflora is a probiotic for dogs that is known to strengthen the immune system and promote healthy intestinal function. Though it’s known to help control symptoms such as diarrhea in dogs, it does not agree with every single pup out there, so be mindful of this. It means the manufacturer hydrolyzed the protein with heat, enzymes and acids to break it down into amino acids. But t his changes the chemical structure of a protein. And that can void or reduce its nutritional value. When these dormant little bacteria enter the gut, the environmental conditions trigger a restart in the metabolic processes of the bacteria, allowing them to grow, reproduce, and generally be active to provide their health benefits. In some cases, probiotics can rapidly multiply, resulting in infection or inflammation. It’s always a good idea to talk to your veterinarian before choosing to give your furry friend any probiotics. Is there an alternative I can turn to?

Proven to help support a healthy immune system and helps support intestinal health and microflora balance. Contains the lactic acid bacteria Enterococcus faecium SF68™, at levels proven to support intestinal health and microflora balance in dogs. Tripe is from the lining of a ruminant’s stomach. And it’s full of the same digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria that help dogs break down food. There is research evidence that does support FortiFlora’s use in cats as a way of supporting kitties experiencing diarrhea from presumed bacterial imbalance. Animal Digest is one of the ingredients found in FortiFlora for dogs. It’s a concentrated flavoring agent made up of hydrolyzed animal protein. But it’s not actually the contents of the digestive tract. It’s a reference to the way the manufacturer processes the animal protein.One study found that good bacteria are negatively affected by glyphosate. But “bad” bacteria like Salmonella are highly resistant.

Talk to your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, including probiotic supplements like FortiFlora. Probiotic foods or supplements can work wonders for your dog’s gut health. And because nearly 90% of your dog’s immune system is in her gut, probiotics boost her overall health too. So skip the FortiFlora and go natural. Helps maintain good faecal quality. Can be used for GI disturbances associated with stress, antibiotic use or diet change. Probiotics, in general, do not produce nasty side effects when administered correctly. However, giving your dog too much of a probiotic can lead to adverse reactions. If your dog starts to experience any of the following symptoms, you may want to talk to your vet about getting him or her off Fortiflora: FortiFlora has a moderate CFU count of 100 million CFU per gram. In comparison, my probiotic supplement of choice has a CFU count of 30 billion per gram.

Enterococcus bacteria are highly competitive and resistant to changes in temperature and pH. This means they can more easily survive environmental changes traveling in a probiotic powder form through the stomach and into the intestinal tract.
