1.0 out of 5 stars Bloody Diarrhea, August 28, 2007

By	G. Sewell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Afer paying almost $30 for a month's supply and almost $100 in vet bills, I have asked for a refund from Purina on this product. Not only did our dog's loose stools get worse, but she experienced watery, bloody diarrhea and we had to take her back to our vet. Word of caution, make sure your vet knows this product contains over 40% protein . . .for pets who cannot tolerate protein, this formulation may not give you the results you were looking for.

3.0 out of 5 stars It works, but give it time. Too expensive as a daily supplement., January 14, 2008

By	Kitchen Warrior "Kitchen Warrior" (Annapolis, MD USA) - See all my reviews

This is not a quick fix, but it does work if you give it time. Like any systemic treatment, it needs time to nudge your dog's digestive system. For the first 8 days, I honestly wasn't sure if it was doing anything, but by the end of the 2nd week, I could definitely see a difference. Prior to using the FortiFlora, my puppy had chronic diarrhea, and at least 2 very soft stools every day. Now she has virtually no soft stools and there's been no re-occurrence of the diarrhea. I would not recommend this as a cure so much as a preventive, since it does take so long to take effect. The price ($23.99 +s/h) makes it a bit prohibitive as a daily supplement, which is the main reason I gave it 3 instead of 4 stars. I suspect Purina would have a more long-term customer base for this product if they set the price at $10 - that's still 33 cents a day, but that's do-able for most consumers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful results!, July 15, 2008

By	Elizabeth - See all my reviews

I have a 3 year old min-pin who contracted a terrible bacterial infection and a case of gastritis. After emergency medical bills of over $500.00 and antibiotics, she was still not feeling any better. My vet recommended FortiFlora and given the 30 day treatment mixed in her food, after a few days my baby girl started eating and all was better. This product really worked wonders on her and hopefully she will stay healthy. Thanks Purina for helping my Coco!
