Product Information

That’s a long list of things, so let’s just look at the ones with the most issues, like animal digest. Fermented foods like kefir, veggies and tripe aren’t always probiotic. Not unless they list the bacteria strains and guarantee a certain viable CFU. The second ingredient in FortiFlora for dogs is Enterococcus Faecium. It’s the only bacteria strain in the entire ingredient panel. 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.

Fermented vegetables are foods like sauerkraut or kimchi. You can buy them or make your own. They m imic the gut contents of prey animals, have beneficial bacteria and serve as a prebiotic.

Your dog’s stomach only houses two primary bacteria strains. But there are more strains farther along the digestive tract in the small intestine. In fact, one study found 6 different phyla of bacteria in the first part of the small intestine. My Alaskan Klee Kai appeared to enjoy and benefit from YuMOVE Digestive Care. I was concerned that I might have to crush the capsule and mix it with their food given they usually spit out any medicine prescribed by the vet.
