Description

Tripe is from the lining of a ruminant’s stomach. And it’s full of the same digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria that help dogs break down food. Contains a guaranteed level of a proprietary microencapsulated strain of viable probiotic (Enterococcus faecium SF68™) (5 x 108 CFU*/g). The microencapsulation process enhances stability, guaranteeing levels of live beneficial bacteria entering the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Talk to your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, including probiotic supplements like FortiFlora. The bacterial strain that FortifFlora contains, Enterococcus faecium, is a strain of bacteria naturally found within the digestive tract. That’s a long list of things, so let’s just look at the ones with the most issues, like animal digest. When or whether your cat should be on a probiotic, and how long your kitty should stay on a product like FortiFlora, should be discussed with your veterinarian. Fermented vegetables are foods like sauerkraut or kimchi. You can buy them or make your own. They m imic the gut contents of prey animals, have beneficial bacteria and serve as a prebiotic.

Reviews

FortiFlora has a moderate CFU count of 100 million CFU per gram. In comparison, my probiotic supplement of choice has a CFU count of 30 billion per gram. Here, we’ll talk about one probiotic in particular: Fortiflora. Then, we’ll give you some facts about probiotics in general, and we’ll end with an alternative suggestion. We hope you’re ready to learn! What is Fortiflora & what can it be used for? The combination of outcompeting undesirable bacteria as well as being able to target and inhibit them is what gives FortiFlora some of its distinctive advantage as there are only a couple of veterinary supplements approved to include Enterococcus faecium.

Suchodolski JS et al. Analysis of bacterial diversity in the canine duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon by comparative 16S rRNA gene analysis. FEMS Microbiology Ecology. 2008 Nov 12. PURINA® PROPLAN® Canine FortiFlora® is a complementary pet food with live probiotic suitable for dogs of all ages, including puppies. It contains live "friendly" bacteria that help maintain intestinal health and balance, and a healthy immune system. FORTIFLORA® can be useful to help support digestive upsets or poor stool quality caused by imbalance in the intestinal bacteria. This can occur due to illness, stress, antibiotic therapy, dietary changes or just due to older age.The authors of “The Genus Enterococcus: Between Probiotic Potential and Safety Concerns—An Update” discuss this as part of the risk/benefit assessment for using Entercoccus as a probiotic. But having only one bacteria strain in a probioticsupplement is a problem. That’s because the digestive tract is home to hundreds of different types of bacteria. And each one thrives in different sections of the digestive system. But that doesn’t mean fermented foods without this aren’t good for your dog. They’re still prebiotic and postbiotic. And that means they help boost populations of good bacteria and provide health benefits to your dog. Enterococcus bacteria produce compounds called bacteriocins, which have the ability to target certain other bacterial strains, especially pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria, and Clostridium species.

Your dog’s stomach only houses two primary bacteria strains. But there are more strains farther along the digestive tract in the small intestine. In fact, one study found 6 different phyla of bacteria in the first part of the small intestine. To make matters worse, before these ingredients get rendered they’re denatured. This means they get a coating of carbolic acid or cresylic disinfectant. These are both known toxins that will cause chemical burns and can even be fatal.So don’t rely on synthetic supplements like FortiFlora for your dog. Instead add some natural probiotics to your dog’s diet. Probiotic foods or supplements can work wonders for your dog’s gut health. And because nearly 90% of your dog’s immune system is in her gut, probiotics boost her overall health too. So skip the FortiFlora and go natural. While Entercoccus faecium may occasionally be found contributing to infections in human patients, this is predominantly in hospitalized patients. While these infections can be very serious, they are considered very rare outside of a hospital environment where patients are already ill and have very compromised immune systems.
