    Thank you so much for such in detail walk-through of different brands. I always wondered which are the best. And although you touch upon the price, form they come in and reaction of your kitty - do you know if any of these are actually viable probiotics? Have you guys sent any of them to a lab, to verify they do have what they claim?

    So my cat has pancreatitis for over 3 years. Winston is on Gastrointestinal royal canin wet and dry food. He is also on Provible-forte 10 billion probiotics. This was a game changer for my kitty. He had 4 major flare ups in 7 months, 2 of the flare ups he had to be hospitalized for. He kept having flare ups over the next 4 months. I had meds to deal with the flare ups, but I didn’t just want to control the flare ups, but to stop them. That’s when adding the Provible-forte was the game changer.
    So after 9 months of dealing with his pancreatitis with 4 major flare ups, we started him on Provible-forte. He has lost over 4 pounds during this time. Started the probiotic the first week in January and he was eating up a storm, not throwing up and after six weeks, he gained all his weight back and was back to his usual self. It’s now been over three years with dealing with us and he is doing great. But I’d like to mention an experiment I did. I put them on Provible-dc last summer. Thinking that maybe he does not need the 10 billion and lower it to 5 billion. Oh boy was I wrong. First day OK second day throw up third day throw up so back on the provable forte 10 billion.. pancreatitis is a nasty disease but so far the last three years we have been handling it and he has just turned 14 years old.
    He very picky so I just open the capsule and mix it with his wet food. He is fed 1 teaspoons of wet food every 2 -3 hours of otherwise if you give him more he will throw it up. Fresh water and dry food is out all the time. He is 11pounds and gets on tin sometimes more of the gastrointestinal royal canin food.
    Long post but hope this helps with kitties with for. Works for my cat. Oh and no treats except Winston gets 2 at bedtime.

    I had trouble getting my cat eating any food with the powder mixed in.
    What I ended up doing is mixing a proviableDC capsule in a shot glass with 0.5ml. water.
    The solution goes into an oral syringe and into my cat. It works very well and I'm always reassured that my cat is getting all of the dose (as opposed to the traditional method of hoping he eats his entire meal from a dish)

      @@lightsout176 Yes, everyday... I used to mix it in a mousse treat at first, but it wasn't fool-proof. You know how cats are, if one day they detect the medicine in the mousse, they'll wont finish it; And since I have more than one cat, when doing the mousse method, I had to watch that the cat eats it all in case the other cat swoops in and eats the remainder.
      The benefit of mixing it all in an oral syringe is that I can be assured that my cat is consuming all the medicine, every time; Zero hassle; Nothing is wasted.
      Mixing the powders together in an oral syringe really is no biggie, I can prep it all in less than 5min. It's very easy.

    My cat had bad giardia for a long time and, thanks to that, she has a VERY sensitive gut. I love Fera but it gave her explosive diarrhea and wasn't improving over time, even only giving her a little bit at a time slowly over time. She's on Proviable and is doing very well, but she's also my special weirdo and likes to eat it as a pull. My vet advised against sprinkling it over food because it means the cat might not get the full dose or too much all at once. Can recommend!

    My cat loves the "VetriScience Probiotic Everyday Duck Flavored Soft Chews". It helps him A LOT with digestion. He will not eat any wet food I leave for him and is not food driven. It's the one tension point in our relationship lol so the probiotics help a lot and he also has a water fountain he loves so that helps :). I am hoping one day he will like wet food.

After i started, only a very occasional hair ball every 2 mo aprox and she is a cleaning machine, Fur got much nicer fuller. I found 2x a day may constipate her so i give it once per day (in evening). So it lastes 2 months.

    Hi Doctor my 14.6 yo male cat got poisoned in Nov 2023. We think he might of gotten into rat bait outside. He got acute pancreatitis and recovered from that loosing 4 lbs. Then the constipation started & vet did enema. Kitty has been up & down. Vet gave him pain shot that lasts month & prescribed Hills digestive diet. He takes Miralax too. Do you recommend Vera for such a cat? Thank you! ❤

    #Cats - Dear Cats: my Veterinarian here in South America says dry food is okay... but i had both my cats tested and they are constantly slightly dehydrated. - I am concerned that this will continue for years and that they will develop disease or die prematurely. - Also: I'm seeing and reading other sources that claim dry food is BAD for cats. - Can you please point me to a proper video of yours or talk about this issue, please? - Should I switch to wet food now? Or is the Vet correct and a little dehyrdation is nothing to worry about? (He's seen the bloodwork of both cats). He says their red blood cells are deforming slightly...
