VetriScience Gut Health Probiotic & Prebiotic Digestive Supplements for Cats, Gas & Diarrhea & Immune Support, Soft Chews, Duck, 60 Count - New Look

I rescued a 7 lb calico cat with digestive issues. My vet recommended a longer term oral antibiotic to help with some of the issues, but it was hard to find a chewable probiotic that was small enough for her to eat (if she would even try!) I still have to break it up into 2-3 pieces, but she really seems to like it. With only 1 a day, and using it as a treat, she is doing so much better. Highly recommend this product. It's effective and affordable.

I think many of these 2-3 star reviews are unfair to the manufacturer. Cats are notoriously picky. Any experienced cat owner will know this. Some cats like duck, some cats don't. It's like rating an ORANGE 2 stars because your cat prefers apples.Anyway, back to my review, my 4 and 5-month-old kittens were having loose stools so I had to get a probiotic along with an anti-diarrhea strategy asap. To the lady who says the treats are too big, er... just break them apart?These are easy to break into pieces and my 4-month-old kitten has a small mouth, and she can eat these whole occasionally. When she can't, I break them apart for her, problem solved. My 5-month-old kitten eats them whole, so an adult cat definitely can eat them whole.So they do like these treats and try to sniff my hands and the bag for more. I sometimes feel bad because I can only give one per day.It's been 2 weeks now and the stools are all firming up.Note that I did also incorporate a bland poached chicken diet with broth for a few days and add 1/4 capsule of Jarrow's Saccharomyces boulardii + 1/4 teaspoon of slippery elm bark powder twice a day.At this point, I'm running out so I'll have to purchase these again soon.Last but not least, one review said, "I don’t know if these do anything. They might but even if they do, your cat will probably refuse to eat them, and any marginal benefits will not be worth the deceitful methods you’ll need to employ to even test them out."Again, each cat is different. As shown with many of the other reviews, there ARE cats who do love this treat. No deceitful methods being employed here with my kittens; they eat right out of my hand.So try this out. For the price, it's worth it, and if your cats don't like it, just give it to another cat owner. All in all, I hope everyone will be able to get their cats happy and healthy again.

Cats won't eat it whole so I break it up into chunks and add it to their dry food and they will eat it. My cats are picky though so I'm sure others would it eat whole. But it works for use and so far they haven't had any stomach problems since trying them.

Disappointed. I bought this product hoping to resolve a digestive and dirrahea problem with one of my cats and prevent having to go to the vet. This cat eats everything but everything seems to cause her diarrhea and gut problems. I changed her to a digestive care diet from a very reputable company. Though it helps a bit, I wanted to add something that could help more. So, I bought VetriScience Probiotic. She refuses to eat them no matter what I do. I thought maybe I could use them with my other cats but NONE of them will eat them.Upon opening the bag, the smell is quite strong. Not fishy, like their shape. Almost a chemical smell. They were pretty small, compact, and would be "chewy" instead of crunchy if they would eat them.Unfortunately, this product has been useless to me and mine, so I cannot share anything positive, and hope I can return them. Best wishes to others who try them. It's always a gamble. This one didn't work for us.

My cats will not eat them...

So I have a 14 yr old cat. She’s always suffered from throwing up. So no matter what food I gave her throughout the day. I tried every type of canned food even Blue. Recently I tried making her homemade cat food and it stopped except for late at night to early in the morning. Until she got bored with the homemade cat food, so I switched to fresh pet. Still throwing up late at night to early in the morning (painful kind) and then she started losing weight. She’s a very nervous cat and at times I heard her stomach gurgling. I have done at lot of research because I love my cat and started to think worst case but found these chews for your cats gut health. I gave one to her and she loved it. I gave another the next day early in the morning and then gave her, her fresh pet food. No throwing up!! After a month I’ll leave an update review. So far amazing!!

1 of my 5 cats like it so far. I will give to the others in the morning

The media could not be loaded. I’ve never left a review for a product but this one deserves the time and effort. We have an extremely high maintenance 8 year old, indoor male cat with IBS. Legit, his poops were runny, extremely stinky, and often outside the box because of urgency. I promise on a stack of Bibles that this cat would let out gas that sounded like air escaping from a balloon and take off towards the box with his butt cheeks clenched and still not make it. We gambled on these and boom, problem solved. The first week we gave him one a day and things improved about 50%. Then I started thinking that, since he’s a svelte 18 pounds and people are giving these to kittens, perhaps he needed more than one. Therefore, we bumped to two a day and bada bing, bada boom…problem 100% solved. It’s glorious. They are soft and apparently flavorful enough for him to eat them (although, at 18 pounds, he isn’t the pickiest of eaters to begin with). We break them in half because, while he is a beautiful cat, he has two brain cells fighting for third place and sometimes gets confused as to what to do with his food. These are so wonderful that we just signed up for the monthly delivery subscription. He’s back to his typical, oddball behavior because his tummy feels better. He even puts his Pink Baby to bed each night now and that’s something he hadn’t felt well enough to do for a while.
