Highlighted Reviews

— Martin

"Lil buddy Cooper has been on this for a few months now due to pancreatitis stomach issues. He’s doing great on it so far. Mixing the kibble with wet and adding forta flora pro powder. Doing the same with my other JRT and her itching and stools are so much better. Just wish it wasn’t so expensive..."

— Julia

"The contents of the can or questionable, label barely legible. After one can which did not appear to agree with my dog, I discontinued it, tossing the contents of the second opened can. I would return the rest, but doubt you will take it back so I will donate it to a shelter."

Bottom Line

While effective, the high cost and potential side effects make it a consideration for those with dogs needing specific dietary support.
