PetAgBene-Bac Plus - 1 lb Powder - FOS & Probiotics for Dogs, Cats, Exotic & Wildlife Mammals

The media could not be loaded. I have 2 cats, one who pukes often. I saw and used this product in the syringe formula bit my picky eater didn't like it due to it having an odor to it, so I tried the powder. I was hoping it would work and curb some puking. I gotta say, I definitely have noticed a significant decrease in pukes after using this. My picky eater actually will eat it when mixed with wet foods. The powder is very fine and odorless. I used a sharpie to mark the scoop to see it, or it's almost invisible lol I add it to my cats food 4x per week. Still get some pukes but not as often anymore so I'll take the win!

This item is great, as with any product from Bene-Bac, pre made gel, and this powdered form product. The reason being I like this powder constitution more, is if you have several animals or larger animals that need more - this is your rout to go! Example of what I was running into, I rescue guinea pigs, they are always sick when I get them. My vet only carries the 15 gram gel tubes. 1. They are only 15 grams (15 doses - recommended dose is one gram). 2. If you don't know exactually what's wrong/bacteria, and you don't want the next animal to get/use it, that tube is only good for that particular animal. With this 1 lb. unit - which is ALOT of doses, you can give more "stronger" doses, and use of it with multiple pets. Please remember this has the same exact probiotics as the gel version - it's just you have to reconstitute it with water. Also the only other problem I did have with this is the expiration date of the product. It was sold by amazon.com, it apparently is not a huge seller. It was only good for 1 month out of when I received it. Anyone who knows how truly much this 1 lb bottle will make - its more than what can be used up in 1 month. Be sure to check it when you get yours. Amazon was awesome about sending me a new one with no charge!! I love amazon's customer service - they let me donate that bottle (the one expiring in a month to my favorite guinea pig charity!!!) - super nice. But still when I got the second bottle it expires in December 2014 only a couple months out - still worth the price instead of $12 a tube at my vet!! Hope this helps!

Warning - this review may be graphic, but considering what this product is used for, that shouldn't be unexpected. Anyway, I got this for my foster dog, who was already having poop issues, and was about to start a 3 week course of antibiotics (for pre-heartworm treatment.) She wouldn't poop at all one day, and then the next she would have a big pile of loose stool, and then go around the yard squatting every few feet and squeezing out a little more. She was clearly uncomfortable, and this was obviously not much fun for me to clean up. I started her on the Bene-bac last week, the same day she started her doxy. So far she's pooped every day (once or twice per day), and not only is it much firmer, she's done in one go. It's a big relief for me, and I'm sure for her too.Edit: Ok, this is going to be gross too, but again, that's kind of what this product is about. One of my dogs starting having completely liquid diarrhea at about 3:00 this morning. After the second bout at around 3:15, I gave him a tablespoon of Benebac, thinking it couldn't hurt and might help. He woke me up again at about 4:00 to go out again, but that was the last time. It's been over 12 hours and no more diarrhea! The last time he started having the runs in the middle of the night, it went on all through the morning, and didn't stop until he started taking metronidazole that afternoon. I can't say for sure whether this time the Benebac stopped it or it had just run its course, but tell you what, I'll be giving it to him daily for the next few days, and probably an occasional maintenance dose after that, just in case.

We have used this probiotic since our breeder recommended it when we picked up our puppy 5 years ago. She has had no stomach issues and her bowel movements have been perfect.

Mr. Bond, 10 months old kitty, had unexplained severe diarrhea, like basically water poop. Nothing worked before this, not vet food, not kaolin clay, not extra fiber. He's had several rounds of dewormers and antibiotics before we got him so I guess those did a number on him. Over the past month, through small doses every other day, he's shown significant improvement (from poop type 7 to 4!) and gained 1.3 pounds! Also, he's not tracking poo everywhere so that's a plus for me. He also does not mind the taste of it at all when it's mixed into wet food. It lumps quickly so sprinkle it over then mix. Definitely give this a try if your kitty has similar problems.

I got this to help with my bottle fed kittens to help with their runny poop. I was recommended this product from my vet and this price and size was much more economical than hat I could get in the local pet stores. Great product and WORKED.
