[NAGDU] Probiotics

[carcione at access.net]

I'm not thrilled with the brewer's yeast in the product the vet suggested, and Annette's experience makes me even more skeptical.  I see several options of NaturVet on Chewy, so I'll look more at them.  And listen if other people have recommendations.

Hi, Tracy and All:

I agree that it would probably be best to try what the vet recommended first. I will say, though, that when I tried Fortiflora for Demi, she had a bad reaction to it and it made her sick. I switched to NaturVet, and that seems to have worked much better. This is a chew, though, but I will post the link below in case you’re interested in trying it at some point.

Best,

Rachel
