Pro Plan Veterinary Diets FortiFlora Chewable Probiotic Tablets for Dogs and Puppies, Digestive Health Support for Occasional Diarrhoea Management, 45-Count

Key Benefits of Probiotics for Canine Health

Discover Plan Veterinary Diets — FortiFlora may support your dog's digestive health, particularly when they experience the occasional bout of diarrhoea. By promoting a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria, these probiotics can help firm up stools and reduce frequency. A healthy gut is also closely linked to a robust immune system – around 70% of immune tissue resides in the gut. FortiFlora helps maintain normal intestinal microflora, which may support immune function in puppies and senior dogs alike. Some owners also notice less gas and bloating when their dog's gut flora is balanced. Each tablet contains microencapsulated probiotics, protecting the bacteria from heat and moisture so they reach the intestines alive and effective.

What Are Probiotics for Dogs?

Probiotics are live microorganisms that help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in your dog's digestive tract. Just as in humans, a dog's gut is home to a complex community of bacteria vital for digestion, nutrient absorption, and immunity. Stress, dietary changes, or antibiotics can disrupt this balance, leading to loose stools or diarrhoea. Probiotic supplements introduce beneficial bacteria directly into the gut. FortiFlora contains the specific strain Enterococcus faecium, which has been shown to survive stomach acid and reach the intestines alive. This helps restore and maintain healthy microflora, promoting overall digestive wellness.

Developed with veterinary input, FortiFlora is a veterinary-exclusive probiotic available without prescription. It is designed for daily uses to support digestive health in dogs and puppies.

How to Choose the Right Probiotic for Your Dog

• Strain specificity: Different strains offer different benefits. FortiFlora uses Enterococcus faecium, clinically studied for occasional diarrhoea management in dogs.
• CFU count: FortiFlora provides a number of live organisms per serving, with potency assured through the expiration date.
• Form: Liver-flavoured chewable tablets are convenient and palatable – most dogs take them as a treat or crumbled over food.
• Veterinary backing: Formulated by veterinary nutritionists, FortiFlora is part of the respected Pro Plan Veterinary Diets range.
• Shelf stability: No refrigeration required, making storage and travel easy.

Always consult your vet before starting any new supplement, especially if your dog has a health condition or is on medication.

How to Uses Probiotics for Dogs

Give one FortiFlora tablet per day for dogs and puppies. Administer directly as a treat or crumble over food – the liver flavour is usually well accepted. Consistency is important; improvements in stool quality may be seen within a few days to a week. The 45-count canister provides over six weeks of daily support. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and keep the canister tightly closed to protect from moisture.
