VetoquinolPro-Pectalin Chewable Tablets for Dogs & Cats, Helps Relieve Occasional Diarrhea, Situational Diarrhea Relief with Kaolin and Pectin, Contains Beneficial Probiotic Bacteria, 60ct

This is the only product I’ve found that works for my two GSDs who have horrible digestive issues. This solved it within 24 hours. Really amazing. I’ve struggled with digestive issues for my babies for a while now. No more! And I can continue giving them diverse and flavorful meals. Buy it. Don’t just retreat to feeding them just dry kibble their whole lives. Can you imagine eating that your whole life? Serve them a healthy, diverse diet with these tablets.

I recommend the article by Brett Harling DVM "Acute canine diarrhea: is it time to rethink our treatment approach?" online at at DVM360. It is written for veterinarians, so is not dumbed down for patients. At the end of the article, he explains the three ways Pro-Pectalin works.Pro-Pectalin works well for my dog and always works. Without it, a soft stool issue gets worse and worse until there is mucus, blood and liquid stool. The stool is not the issue, of course, but the distress to my dog's GI tract. The cause is unknown. When she is on a steady routine, the problem can start up. Reading these reviews has been much more helpful than talking to the vet, because these represent a wide spectrum of issues and advice for a context for me to try to solve the problem and keep my dog healthy.My only concern is that using these constantly could block the metabolism of some nutrients. My vet said that the only concern is masking an underlying issue. If I take my dog off of Pro-Pectalin, does the problem come back? Sometimes.If we didn't have these, she would be in serious trouble with her gut becoming more and more irritated. It helps to quiet everything down. When her stool is normal, I have done a long, long, long tapering off over weeks. She is then normal for a few weeks without them and when the condition returns, I do not hesitate to start again.This brand is the only one I trust because I use another one of their products, Flexadin Advanced, that uses UCII to prevent the immune system from degrading joint tissue. No other product does this. It turn her from a lame dog into an athlete within days and has kept her that way for a year and a half now. When the vet prescribed ProPectalin and dispensed them from the clinic at a ridiculously high price, I researched them and found that they were developed by Vetoquinol, so bought this product.Many products are out there for the convenience of the caretaker so that stool is easy to pick up, which is faulty thinking, especially when food is formulated with that in mind. The issue is the health of the dog, not the convenience for the human. I don't think soft stool is a problem unless it is known to be the start of a course of illness. Liquid stool, rather than soft stool, is always a cause for serious concern.I keep a spreadsheet noting the percentage of full dose she is getting, the hardness of the stool, the presence of blood, of mucus, of strong odor, together with her activity level and stress level plus the blandness of the food. Each is assigned a percentage value. It was easy to set up using the iPhone Numbers spreadsheet and takes a moment to keep up to date. It has a correlation function so that I can see objectively what factors are related. For example, if she is stressed out by another dog when we are out on a walk and has loose stool, likely they are related and it is not part of a health trend.I always want to have this on hand. The product tub is big but the product doesn't expire for over a year.The only down side was that the plastic was cracked by the thoughtless packaging and shipping. I got it within 3 hours of ordering but it was in a paper envelope and crushed. I was prepared for this from other reviews and simply transferred the tabs to an airtight container along with the desiccant pack.As my dog ages, I think it is natural that her tummy becomes more sensitive. I am so glad I have this to support her health. I hope that more research will show the causes of the problem and the way the remedy works.

Both my dogs have been nibbling at the flowers in the backyard. The puppy has a cast iron stomach and an amazing digestive system. Still on occasion she will develop soft poop. The older dog is very sensitive to anything unusual so we try to watch her very diligently. These chewable tablets have helped both dogs including the very sensitive older pooch. They both like the taste so we can serve the tablets in their food bowls without a problem. It works.

I have a Bernese mountain dog that just turned one. When we first got him, he had major bouts of diarrhea every once in a while. He’s on prescription food now. He still occasionally gets watery/loose stool so we give him this and it usually resolves within a day or 2… at first we had the small tub, but once we ran out of that, we got the big tub. I’ll be repurchasing once it runs out again.

When your pet has upset tummy. Buy this

I'm not a vet, so this is just my anecdotal evidence, but our dog suffered frequently from loose stools. After using these her poops were champion quality. We give them to her like treats. She has to perform tricks to get them. I'm not sure how much she likes them because she's a generous dog and likes to please her humans.

To be honest, my dog doesn’t love eating these even though they are chewable. BUT the tablets do what they are supposed to! A little peanut butter gets my dog more interested. Stick with it! Btw shipping has been prompt and without any issues.

This product greatly exceeded my expectations! Our 2 year old dog had digestive issues over a long period of time. In conjunction with a new diet, this probiotic has been a life saver!
