Hi everyone! Today is Chewy day. My cats love it when we get a shipment in from Chewy. They always know it is for them. This time Penny beat Joanie to the Chewy box.
*Disclaimer: We received this product for free from Chewy in exchange for a fair review. All opinions are our own.
I am sure you have heard about probiotics being great for us and our digestion. Apparently they are also good for our furbabies too. Some of my cats have delicate tummies so I thought they should give them a try.
Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets FortiFlora Probiotic Cat Supplement comes in a box with 30 individual packages. Each package has 500 million live microorganisms in it. It comes in a powdered from that you pour on your cat’s food. I haven’t used it on everyone, only those I thought would benefit the most. I wish I could afford to have all my cats use it though because it is a great product.
Jinx has always had troubles and tends to get constipated. He has only been using this less than a week, but I already notice a difference. There was a day last week that Prancie didn’t want her breakfast or lunch which concerned me because Prancie is always hungry. I offered her food later in the afternoon which she ate willingly ( and contained the probiotic) and now she hasn’t had any more troubles.
Several of the other cats wanted the food too so something in there is good for encouraging appetites. They are pricey, but on sale this month for $24.99/box. If you want to read more about them or order your own just click here. And don’t forget that Chewy has speedy shipping and it is free with orders over $49.

Chloe J and Maggie have used probotics with good results. Our vet recommended them a couple of years go, after he went to a specil seminar on them. They are good for not only digestion, but other systems, too. Great review!
Your vet is really up on things. Ideally all pets and humans would use them. Glad you liked the review.
I’m going to try pro-biotics on my lot, though whether they actually consume it or not is a mystery.
This is what I use on Katie and she has improved by leaps and bounds.
I think they will like the flavor.
Binga could use some probiotics – in fact, all the seniors here could, including my human’s dad’s cat, Smokey.
I hope your human orders some.
We got ours yesserday too! We got Wellness Slamon an Tuna an Chicken and Turkey!
That sounds good 🙂
We sure want to try that stuff. We have one cat with problems with diarrhea and maybe it would help him. Thanks for the info..
I highly recommend it.
Great review! We love these probiotics. Although I am lucky in that none of my kitties have much in the way of digestive issues, my pup Astrid does, and she does great with the canine version of these probiotics. I am so glad that you guys eat them right up, and that they’re helping you! Purrs!
Glad they help Astrid.
We bought those to cure Floki of his diarrhea. I think they also like the taste.
Glad it helped.
Penny happy Tortie Tuesday….FYI my mouth is drooling over your review
Hugs madi your bffff
Thank you 🙂 XO
M just talked to the vet about getting me on probiotics because I have a major hairball issue sometimes. I’m going to order some of this and certainly do appreciate the honest review.
I hope it helps you too.
This post is so timely for me because I’ve just been discussion probiotics with Katie Isabella’s mom. I think this is the kind she uses. I wanted to try it on Abbey, but she will barely eat wet food. All she wants is dry. Is there any other way to give it to them other than putting in food? Thank you for sharing this, and I’m glad you’re seeing good results in your kitties.
You can sprinkle it on dry food – it might stick to the nooks and crannies or Abbey might lick the powder off a plate. If your vet sells it, ask if you can get one packet to try.
p.s. you can also mix it with a bit of water and either let kitty lick it up, or eye-dropper it into their mouth.
Yes, i had some from the vet that was in a paste.
she may eat it wet with the probiotics on it. And yes, this is what we use here.
The rescue group that I’ve worked with, gives out Fortiflora with every new adoption.
That is a nice idea.
We recently started using that one too and have been pleased with the results!
Good.:)
guys…sum times payin up front for good stuff….helpz stop bad stuff { vet billz }
down de road…..best fishes with this new plan ♥♥♥
Very true. Thank you 🙂
Everyone loves Chewy.com. Everybody.
Have a purrfect day. My best to your peeps. ☺
I agree 🙂 Hope you had a nice day too.
Great review, that sounds like a good product. Purrs
Thank you 🙂
With Wally’s recent pancreatitis attack, we’ve learned how important probiotics can be.
I am glad they help him too.
My neighbor swears by this stuff! When Mudpie first moved here she had bad diarrhea, I think from the stress and upheaval in her life, and I gave her a different probiotic. Worked like a charm!
Glad it helped her.
I’ve been eating FortiFlora sprinkled on my food for a couple months. Mom doesn’t think it’s the best option for probiotics (she prefers Benebac for that) but it is amazing tasty stuff and a great appetite stimulant. She orders our from VitaCost for ~$26 per box. If you’re looking for a probiotic for your gang, check out benebac. Raven likes the gel, but they make a more affordable powder too.
Thank you for letting me know about Benebac.
We used Fortiflora with Sophie for a while when she first came to us and had tummy troubles. It seemed to help.
Good to know it helped Sophie.
I’ve tried it a few times, I find it easier to use the probiotics I take
What kind do you take?
As you know, we are big FortiFlora fans so thanks for your review We have a HOT TIP on FortiFlora for you. A little bit can be used, and they will still benefit. We make a bios last a long time, even though there are only two of us, most people use too much in the beginning. Just a sprinkle is fine, and you can get a lot of little sprinkles out of one envelope. Hugs to you and the fireballs.
Thank you for the tip. With so many cats I need to stretch it out. XO
All of us here, kitties, dog-guy and our peeps use various forms of those. Yes they are wondrous little bugs to have in your body, they sure work hard to keep systems in good functioning order.
(We buy human grade, capsules; emptied into the food or given whole, and of course the peeps take them whole too. That is a bit less pricey…We buy at least a ten variety probiotic with up to 10 or more CFU in them.)
We have not tried that kind of probiotic…
