"My two year old cat has had a problem with the dreaded scarf and barf for a long time. I’ve tried everything kind of slow feeder and elevated bowl out there and nothing worked. I’ve been feeding him these probiotics for a few weeks now, and I’ve seen a huge improvement!"

"I chose these probiotic chews to replace a terrific and effective (and very reasonably priced) probiotic chew that had been made by Drs Foster and Smith. First impressions were that they were crumbly rather than moist. They did not smell “good”, but rather “meh” and my two 18 year old cats..."

Bottom Line

Give this a shot if your cat has digestive issues and loves the taste, but be prepared for potential problems with quality and durability. Price and other supplements might be better alternatives
