FortiFlora for dogs

FortiFlora is a probiotic-containing dietary supplement for dogs. It is used for gastrointestinal disorders, but its formula also includes components that have beneficial effects on other organs and systems.

Composition and action

The supplement is produced as a granulated powder. It is packaged in 1g polymer sachets. Thirty sachets are placed in a cardboard box, along with instructions for use.

The main component of FortiFlora is live lactic acid bacteria Enterococcus faecium. When ingested, probiotics have the following effects:

• restore intestinal microflora;
• normalize the functioning of the entire digestive system;
• promote better absorption of vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances;
• increase the body's resistance to various viruses and boost immunity in general;
• improve the synthesis of B vitamins;
• prevent the proliferation of pathogenic microflora.

The dietary supplement also contains other useful components:

1. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. It cleanses animals' bodies of free radicals and toxins, boosts the immune system, and strengthens blood vessel walls.
2. Vitamin E is essential for the proper functioning of the gonads. It reduces blood clotting, participates in enzyme synthesis, and prevents degenerative changes in muscle tissue.
3. Beta-carotene improves dogs' vision. Provitamin A also plays a role in regenerative processes, promoting rapid bone and muscle tissue recovery.
4. Ferrous sulfate helps increase hemoglobin levels, which is responsible for transporting oxygen to individual cells.
5. Zinc proteinate is involved in protein synthesis and promotes the production of lymphocytes, which block foreign bodies entering the body. It improves the absorption of beta-carotene and is involved in insulin production, thereby preventing the development of diabetes.
6. Calcium iodate provides the body with iodine, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland.
7. Sodium chloride and selenite participate in the transport of amino acids and glucose and promote the secretion of gastric juice.
8. Copper proteinate improves the functioning of the reproductive system and maintains the color of the pet's coat.
9. Manganese proteinate is involved in the formation of bone and dental tissue. It also plays a role in the synthesis of hemoglobin and hormones, normalizes nerve cell function, and restores metabolic processes.

In addition to lactobacilli, minerals, and vitamins, the supplement contains animal digest. This gives it a pleasant taste and increases appetite, which is especially important when used for weakened pets who refuse to eat. It also ensures the body receives taurine, an amino acid essential for proper cardiovascular function.

The mixture contains fiber, which helps cleanse the intestines of toxins. It also contains proteins and fats, which are essential for the normal functioning of the dog's body.

Indications for use

The food supplement is used in the following cases:

• in case of dysbacteriosis, including that caused by taking antibiotics;
• for diarrhea caused by poor nutrition, stress, or exposure to new foods;
• in acute enteritis;
• for flatulence;
• with gastroenteritis;
• for other disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.

FortiFlora is recommended for puppies weaning from their mother's milk. Due to the change in diet, they may experience upset stomachs, loss of appetite, and even refusal to eat. This nutritional supplement from a French manufacturer will prevent such problems and help the puppy quickly adapt to the new diet. The formula can be given to prevent the above symptoms or to eliminate them and normalize intestinal function.

This supplement is safe for dogs and can therefore be used to prevent gastrointestinal (GI) upsets caused by factors that can trigger them (traveling, car travel, and other stressful situations). Forti Flora is also recommended for use while taking antibiotics.

Owner reviews

Irina, the Labrador's owner:

"Our handsome Labrador has a sensitive gastrointestinal tract, so we closely monitor his diet. Smoked meats and similar treats are off-limits. During New Year's celebrations, a friend fed him sausage, which resulted in vomiting and bowel problems. On the veterinarian's recommendation, we started him on FortiFlora. It's an excellent supplement. The course lasted two weeks, but by the third day, our dog was significantly better. He ate the powder with great pleasure."

Maria, the owner of a shepherd dog:

"We used FortiFlora for prolonged indigestion accompanied by diarrhea and vomiting. The supplement apparently does have a pleasant taste, as the dog, who had been refusing food, began eating normal portions. Improvement was noticeable as early as the third day, but we completed the full 30-day course. It's an effective and easy-to-use product."

Veterinarian Reviews

Olga, a veterinarian with 5 years of experience:

"I consider FortiFlora one of the best nutritional supplements. And although its price is slightly higher than Russian analogues, the extra cost is completely worth it. I personally found it highly effective (results are noticeable after just a couple of days) and safe (no side effects). It is often recommended to dog owners with gastrointestinal issues."

Sergey, a veterinarian with 8 years of experience:

"FortiFlora contains enterococci, which suppress pathogenic microflora and promote the restoration of the natural intestinal flora. This explains its high effectiveness. I often prescribe this supplement when taking antibiotics and for diarrhea. My animals eat it with great pleasure. No complaints."
