My vet recommended this item years ago and I stopped using because pet supplies are so expensive. BUT my sweet 13 year old beagle pit mix developed bad diarrhea. I realized how important this supplement is for ALL my dogs. Using this product and another item has resolved the diarrhea issues thankfully. I will no longer scrimp on items that help my pets to have maintain a healthy digestive system. It’s easy to include in their food and there’s no smell. My dogs eat their food and don’t even notice it. Much like humans, when a digestive system is not working well it makes the whole body feel poorly. My dogs are doing very well on this and I highly recommend you add this to your pets diet to maintain a healthy appetite and digestive system.

My dogs had upset tummy’s and I could not buy this product locally. It worked wonders to get their digestive system back to normal in just 4 days. I am not continuing to add a lower does to their food until I can know that they won’t get diarrhoea again.

I’ve been giving FortiFlora to my Doberman, and it has made a noticeable difference in her digestion. Any time she has an upset stomach, loose stool, or stress from a routine change, this settles things quickly.
I also love that it comes in individually packaged packets — it makes it super easy to use daily, and even easier to toss a few in my bag when we travel. No mess, no measuring, no hassle.
My dog eats it with no problem, and I like that it supports her immune system as well as her gut health. It’s a little pricey, but the results are absolutely worth it. This is a staple in our house now, and I highly recommend it!

Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements FortiFlora has been an absolute lifesaver for my dog’s digestive health. After dealing with intermittent loose stools and a sensitive stomach, our vet recommended FortiFlora—and the difference was noticeable within just a few days.
What I love most is how easy it is to use. The single-serve packets are perfectly portioned, mess-free, and simple to sprinkle over food. My dog actually loves the taste and eats every bite, which is a huge win with a picky eater. No forcing, no mixing tricks needed.
Since starting FortiFlora, my dog’s stools are consistently firm, digestion is noticeably better, and overall gut health seems much more balanced. I’ve also seen improvements during stressful situations like travel or dietary changes, where stomach upset used to be a problem.
I appreciate that this supplement is vet-recommended and backed by science, containing a proven probiotic strain that supports intestinal health and immune function. It’s reassuring to know I’m giving my dog something safe, effective, and trusted by veterinarians.
While it’s slightly more expensive than generic probiotics, the results make it 100% worth it. This is now a permanent staple in our dog care routine, and I always keep extra packets on hand just in case.
Highly recommend FortiFlora for any dog with a sensitive stomach, occasional diarrhea, or digestive issues.

FortiFlora has been a lifesaver for my dog’s digestive issues. After just a few days of adding it to his food, we noticed a big difference — firmer stools, less gas, and a much happier pup overall.
It’s easy to use — just sprinkle a packet over their regular food — and my dog loves the taste. No more struggles or pill hiding tricks needed.
Our vet recommended it for a recent bout of diarrhea, and now it’s become a staple in our routine for ongoing gut health support. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or occasional tummy troubles, this stuff really works.

I bought Purina Pro Plan FortiFlora after one of my dogs started having loose stools out of nowhere. Within 24–48 hours, there was a noticeable improvement, and by day 3 everything was back to normal. I’ve since used it a few times during diet changes or after stomach issues, and it’s been consistent every time.
What I really like is how easy it is to use. The individual sachets are convenient, and the powder mixes right into food. Both of my dogs are picky and had zero issue eating it—no turning their nose up, no skipping meals. That alone is a big win.
I also appreciate that this is a vet-recommended product with a specific probiotic strain, not just a generic supplement. It feels like something that actually does what it claims instead of being marketing fluff.
Downside: it’s not cheap, especially if you’re using it long term. That said, for acute stomach problems or stress-related diarrhea, it’s worth the price and works faster than anything else I’ve tried.

This product was recommended by my vet. It works well for my dog who has a sensitive stomach. The individual packets are nice as there is no need to measure anything. It mixes into my dog’s food easily and he does not seem to mind the taste.

My dogs were having recurring stomach issues and occasional diarrhea, so I decided to try FortiFlora after hearing good things. Within a few days, I noticed a big difference — their stool were firmer, and they seemed more comfortable overall. I mix it with their meal, which makes it super easy . Definitely recommend this if your pup has a sensitive stomach or digestive problems.Works Well, Just a Bit Pricey…. I just wish it was a little more affordable for long-term use, but it’s a great product overall would purchase again you can also pair with pumpkin powder all natural great mix for gut health

I give this to my sheep-a-doodle, for his sensitive tummy. It works great for cut health.
Now all I need roll is for Amazon to package the Purina box, in a better way now. A few times I have ordered and it always ends up smashed, when they put it in an envelope. The sachets are still usable I have never had one break open. Hence the review so that Amazon can pack it better.
Thanks, Purina for a good product to help with doggy digestion.
Amazon, think twice about package choices before you ship it!

We’ve been using Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements FortiFlora for our Goldendoodle, Coco, and the difference has been amazing. Coco has always had a bit of a sensitive stomach, and we were looking for something gentle but effective to support her digestion.
After adding FortiFlora to her daily routine, we noticed a clear improvement in her gut health. Her digestion became more consistent, and she seems much more comfortable overall—no more random stomach issues or discomfort. One thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to use. We simply sprinkle it over her food, and she loves it—no fuss at all.
It’s reassuring to know this is a vet-recommended product, and it truly feels like we’re giving Coco something that supports her overall wellness, not just a quick fix. Her energy levels are great, her coat looks healthy, and she just seems happier.
If you have a dog with digestive sensitivities, I would definitely recommend giving FortiFlora a try. It’s been a great addition to Coco’s routine, and we’ll absolutely keep using it.

I’ve been using FortiFlora for a long time, and it has always been very effective whenever my dog has stomach issues. It was recommended by her vet, she really likes the taste, and it’s gentle, reliable, and something I always keep on hand.
Tip: For best results, have your dog consume it within the first few minutes after serving, since it contains live probiotics. If your dog is picky like mine, you can give it on its own — she happily licks it right up.

This stuff is amazing. I used it on my 15-year-old dog she had kidney disease and bouts of diarrhea, it cleared that up within 2 days of use. I now use it on our 10 ur old rescue who has issues with constipation and gas. She weighs 60 lb. I use a half a packet a day innthe AM and it makes her poop perfect. Sounds silly but she had a hard time pooping and now she doesn’t. It is a little costly.
I’ll admit I used a ½ packet to see if I could get away and guess what, the half a packet works perfectly. She now goes 2xs a daily and its normal. No more hard poops, gas or bloating. We tried everything prior to this. Every food etc.
I only used a ¼ packet for my 8 lb dog so that made that 30 packets last about 4 months.
I get 2 months out of one box for my 60 lb very muscular elderly dog. Shes much happier now.
A side note : her breath is better too. Buy this now…You won’t regret it.
I have tried others. They don’t work. This works in 1 -2 days. Better appetite, her coat is glossy black and soft. Her skin has improved too. She had yeast feet. Not anymore. Its powder and I mix it with a bit of water into her food.
I am not paid to write this.

This stuff works.. my dogs stomach had been messed up for a week or so and I started giving her just a cheapo off brand probiotic I got off Amazon and her stomach never improved. Just after a day or 2 this stuff completely resolved her stomach issues and she’s back to normal. Little pricey but well worth it. I got the powder originally and she didn’t bat an eye. Swapping to the tablets now and she can’t tell the difference.
