[NAGDU] Probiotics

This is just a question for information. What is the concern regarding Brewer’s yeast? Is it bad for dogs.

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.
