Probios Dispersable Powder is an easy-to-add supplement that is good for any species of animal. It supports the digestive system by working to help break down and utilize nutrients in an effective way, and it also works to strengthen the immune system. Probiotics have been shown to benefit household pets, such as cats and dogs. Some of the conditions probiotics can help treat are skin and coat problems, as well as diarrhea and other digestive issues.
Many other benefits have been shown in the studies on the use of probiotics for livestock and poultry. Studies indicate that feeding select cultures of L. acidophilus helps to increase milk yield in dairy cattle, and the daily use of probiotics on piglets and kids have shown results in increased growth and feed efficiency. Certain cultures of probiotics work to exert inhibitory action toward salmonella in the intestinal tracts of chickens. This powder supports the digestive tract, which is important because gastrointestinal illness is a primary concern for many livestock owners, and also one of the most expensive conditions to treat.
Dispersable Powder is a diverse source of live, direct fed microbials. One microbial alone does not provide all of the desired health benefits, so this supplement contains four species of naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria, including Enterococcus faecium and three species of Lactobacillus: acidophilus, casei, and plantarum. Enterococcus faecium promotes intestinal well-being, while Lactobacillus acidophilus specifically helps to improve gut absorption of nutrients and maintain proper intestinal flora. It has also been shown to help prevent yeast infections in the upper digestive tract, especially those caused by Candida albicans. Lactobacillus casei complements the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus and works to propagate desirable bacteria, while Lactobacillus plantarum is necessary for the production of lactic acid.

What is Probios Dispersible Powder used for?
Probios contains a source of live (viable) direct fed microbials. Since one direct fed microbial alone cannot provide all the required health benefits, it contains four species of live naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria including three species of Lactobacillus (acidophilus, plantarum, casei) along with Enterococcus faecium. It has an elevated level of these direct fed microbials to help colonize the digestive tract with the naturally occurring beneficial bacteria. This beneficial bacteria is necessary to help aid in the absorption of nutrients as well as help support the immune system.

Excellent Product; Price is Right!
review by chikg33k
We've been using the product for almost 2 years. This product has helped alleviate digestive issues for both my rescue dogs. The 25lb. Beagle mixes have responded well; it took about 30 days of daily use but they are regular, no straining, and no gas! Now they get it once a day and the Probios treats in between meals.

Excellent Product And Price!
review by Hunter
First let me say that our cat was extremely weak and could barely walk. Her kidney weren't functioning properly (as in many elderly cats) and she was literally wasting away because the nutrients aren't able to be absorbed into the bloodstream as they would if the kidneys are working as they should.
She was very bad and did not look like she was going to be able to last much longer as I searched online for something we could do!
I came across many articles and people recommending Azodyl, and Epakitin. So, we decided to try it. Well, to say it worked extremely well would be an understatement! Miraculously would be more accurate!
The NEXT DAY we saw improvement! Every day she seemed a little stronger and within a month she was trotting around again!
NOW to my review on Probios Dispersable Powder.
I didn't know about this product until I came across it here on the the site, and to tell you the truth, I only decided to purchase it because it would just get my order up to the 50 dollar mark for the free shipping. I figured it's like getting it free anyways right?
Well when we got the product, I saw that it actually has some of the properties of the Azodyl, which is much more expensive.
So, even though we are completely satisfied with how well the Azodyl and Epakitin has been working, I thought well, now that our cat was doing much, much better, maybe we could use the Probios Dispersable Powder one day, and the Azodyl the next, and see how that works.
Well, we noticed no difference in our cat, and infact it's easier to give to her because you just sprinkle it into their food...NO pill for one day!
PLUS the Azodly will now last you twice as long saving quite a bit of money!
VERDICT:
Buy the Azodyl, Epakitin, and the Probios Dispersable Powder and get free shipping!
You can't go wrong with these products if you suspect that your cat has kidney problems, and 95% of all elderly cats have progressively diminishing kidney function, because these products work.
They literally saved our cats life!

Absolute Must In Everyones Diet
review by ForTheSakeOfAnimals
Animals and humans should all be on a good probiotic. A friend once quoted a doctor that said, "Life begins and ends in the colon." While the stomach may start the break down, the absorption of nutrients takes place in the GI tract. A healthy balance of good bacteria is needed in the gut to ward off an imbalance and illness. Important to note that probiotics should NOT be given at the exact same time as an antibiotic but definately use a probiotic following an antibiotic round of treatment since antibiotics kill off any good bacteria in the gut. Could possibly avoid a yeast over growth in the body. Just another example of how we and our pets get afflicted by the same symtoms, side effects and illnesses. I first learned of the need for probiotics in 2005 after my dogs were diagnosed with liver and spleen cancer. I wanted to provide them with everything I could that would help support their immune system while not overworking their bodies in an already compromised state. Probiotics is a staple to good health IMO for everyone in addition to a good diet, exercise, digestive enzymes plus a good fast and detox for the kidneys and liver. (Posted on 4/6/12)

It works!
review by Happy Customer
I've been using the Probios product for over a year now and it has made a huge difference in the overall health of my aging horse. We were having issues with diarrhea and his weight, at the advice of our Vet, we started top dressing his grain daily with the Probios and we've not had anymore issues. I also add it to the feed mix for my laying hens...great product - it works!! (Posted on 3/25/12)

I sprinkle in all my cats and kittens wet and dry food everyday!
review by dmprisk
I'm in rescue and when the kittens are weaned and start to eat wet and dry food I always sprinkle some in their food along with Humane Grade Diatomaceous Earth (kills any parasites) and if giving any antibiotics, this product helps restore good bacteria in their gut.
I even add a little powder to pediatite or water and will syringe in directly into mouth if kitten isn't eating well. I use it everyday on all my pets. (Posted on 3/16/12) -
excellent must-have supplement
review by taniak
In rescue, we are always looking for particularly beneficial products because almost every rescued pet has some medical problem. Probiotics are high on the list. Probios has proven to be very palatable to cats and very beneficial to the intestinal workings. Diarrhea is so common and this probiotic has noticeably reduced or cleared up diarrhea, plus just give better tone to the cats. One particular cat had been throwing up a few times per day for no good reason. Adding Probios to her food regularly has eliminated that problem. Now it's just standard to add daily to all food for the fosters in our care. Thanks, Stacy, for suggesting this product. And the price is right, too. (Posted on 3/9/12)

Best product, great results
review by Country Gal
I run a boarding and training kennel and I give this to all my clients. When dogs are under stress the first thing it affects is their digestive system. Some dogs won't eat the first few days but i just sprinkle this over their food and they eat it all up, licking the bowl clean.
This is a staple in my kennel and has been for many years. (Posted on 3/3/12) -

Great to use in Chicken Water!
review by S2
This is the best probiotic to use for our backyard chicken operation. We only have 35 hens so no automatic waterer. So, everyday we just add some of the powder to their water that we change daily. They don't seem to notice it, but we get wonderful eggs and no one ever seems to get under the weather. (Posted on 1/18/12)

Easy to Use
review by Miki
My vet recommended I give my two cats a probiotic to help with their digestive tracks. I ordered the popular name probiotic she recommended, but neither cat liked the taste. They would smell their food and walk away. A sample packet of Probios was included in the order, so I decided to try it. I used the sample and ordered more, because both cats did not seem to notice anything added to their food and using the Probios once a day as directed resulted in firmer stools and less stinky litter boxes.

Wonderful product
review by Impsmommie
Hi,
I started using this about 6 months ago for puppies and started giving it to my adults also. I kept fighting loose stools and this has pretty much put a stop to them both in the adults and the puppies. Puppies would be great on mom but as soon as they were pretty much eating other food all the time I would start getting loose stools and this have firmed them up!!! Thanks for your wonderful product (Posted on 12/23/11) -

review by Spiritwoman
I use this to top dress my senior horse's daily feed and I use it with my laying hens. It's good stuff and it works. My senior horse was having a real problem with diarrhea. Our vet suggested putting him on this as a part of his maintenance program and I have to say it works. We're top dressing his daily grain with this and it has made a huge difference. Works great for our hens too. (Posted on 12/12/11)

Prevention of ear and urinary tract infections
review by Joley
My dog was prone to ear infections and urinary tract infections until I started using Probios Dispersible Powder. She would have one or two ear infections and one or two urinary tract infections every year. It was getting expensive at the vet and I didn't like giving her anti-biotics at all let alone a few times a year. She has been getting Probios Dispersible Powder for almost two years now and has not had a single infection since. The Probios is saving us a lot of money on vet bills and best of all, Probios is now building up her good biotics instead of the anti-biotics depleting them. I started my two newer dogs on Probios as well from day one even though I am not aware of a history of infections with them. I just want them to be healthy and I trust that Probios is doing them good. (Posted on 9/18/11)

This stuff really works!
review by Cooper's Mama
My chocolate Lab Cooper has had a hard time with food allergies. He has been sick with IBS since he was approximately 5 mos. old and had horrible diarrhea. His bowels were in constant spasm and he seemed to either be constipated or having very very soft stools. I felt so bad for him! He has been on ProBios for about 3 weeks now and I can say we have poop. Not swish, not runs, not mucus...I never thought that I would be so interested in dog poop until I had a dog with a poop problem. I was glad to find your site and now will order this from you in the future. It's much cheaper than getting from the vet.
Thanks!

Great for chronic ear infections
review by Lisa AZ
My golden retriever had ear infections every fall for the first 2 years we had her; terrible redness and brown 'gunk' in her ears requiring daily cleaning. We put her on a dose of probios after she ate something out of the trash and had diarrhea and we noticed her ears cleared up. I have increased her daily dose to 2 tsp per day in her food AM and PM and this fall, NO EAR INFECTIONS! I haven't cleaned her ears out in more than a year. They are pink and dry and beautiful. AMAZING PRODUCT! (Posted on 6/15/11)

Results are in...parasites are gone!
review by Joe Camp - Creator & Writer of the Benji Films
We have one horse that is so full of parasites she colicked (something a horse living like ours is never supposed to do). So I started feeding everybody two full tablespoons of Probios powder every day (one morning, one night) while I chase them around trying to catch some poop for tests. Finally after 2 weeks I got everybody but Pocket, the infested one... and got the results today... all totally clean! Totally. I, of course, am going to keep up that feeding (your recommended dose is one teaspoon a day). But it's depleting my supply quickly. The first of two canisters you sent is almost empty. If this keeps up for a while I will be blogging about it whether your scientists like it or not :)
The vet has been telling me the strongyles are out in masses (from all his other clients) because of the wet, and resistance to the drugs available. I can't wait to hear his reaction to this. (Posted on 3/16/11) -
Our Sheltie Got Her Bark Back
review by Rick
Last October our 13 year old sheltie started coughing like she had kennel cough. Or vet recommended an x-ray and it turned out it was congestive heart failure caused by a leaking valve. She was prescribed a bunch of new medications that controlled the problem, but she will have to take them the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, all the new meds were upsetting her digestion, causing diarrhea and loss of appetite. Anybody that has a pet that won’t eat knows how stressful it is, and we were especially worried about her taking so much medicine on an empty stomach.
The only thing that would break the digestion problem was a prescription of Metronidazole from the vet. They also recommended Purina Fortiflora. Even though we were giving her Fortiflora, (we have to fill gel caps because she hated the taste) she would slip back into the digestive problem a couple of weeks after she stopped the Metronidazole.
We were running low on Fortiflora so I went to Amazon to reorder. The order ended up coming from ProbioticSmart.com (I was just shopping by price). Fortunately, they included a sample of Probios in the order. When we started running low on the Fortiflora I started adding the Probios. The difference was like night and day. Within two days she was cleaning her bowl and looking for more, and has been eating like normal ever since (going on three weeks, knock on wood).
In short, it worked for us, and I just wanted to share our story in the hope that it might help someone else.
I ordered some teeth cleaning products too. I’ve been told that bacteria and infections in the mouth can cause heart valve infections/problems. It’s too late for me to reverse the damage, but I can try to help it from getting worse, and perhaps help others decide to start cleaning teeth before you end up in our situation.
Cheers

Wonderful for cats
review by Pam
Our vet started my 5 cats on Probios as a help for gingivitis. Apparently having a happier tummy makes for happier gums and it seems to work!!! We've been out for a couple of weeks, and I didn't realize how much I missed cat barf until they started again, so it was definitely helping their tummies along with their teeth!! A GREAT product.

IBD and IBS this helps!
review by PM Weims
Weims can have sensative stomach's and allergies. I have a few that need special diet and even with that still have problems digesting their food and diarhea. When we add the Probios daily to food this helps keep stools firm and gas to a minimum. If we happen to run out it is inevitable that we get tummy/stool problems. Thanks for such a great reliable product!

Probios Dispersible Powder
review by Lora
Our beagle always seemed to have an upset stomach and when the vet could find no medical reason for it, she suggested that we sprinkle probiotic powder on her food, so we gave it a try and it worked, no more upset stomach. We were happy to have solved the problem, but the brand of probiotic powder we got from the vet was over $40.00 for a 30 day supply. I decided to check out ProbioticSmart.com and it was the best thing I could have done. They offer the Probios Dispersible Powder for less than $7.00 and it lasts nearly two months as opposed to only one month. It is a tremendous saving for me and it works just as well as the expensive brand that my vet recommended. I even gave the Probios Dog Treats a try and she loves them. Thank you ProbioticSmart.com!!

Top Notch Product!
review by Samantha K.
Probios is the first time I've given my mare probiotics. I had purchased it because the owner of the stable where my horse stays had recommended it to me when I began keeping her there. The stable owner said that it would help her adjust to her new surroundings and that it would be easy to administer to here (just sprinkle it on her food which was also new). I was positive that she would have diarrhea because of all the changes in surroundings and diet. To my surprise, her manure was extremely consistent throughout and she did not seem to be experiencing any stomach distress or digestive upset. I can only attribute this to Probios. So, I just never stopped giving it to her! I mix the powder in with her food regularly...I believe that she's gained numerous health benefits through it's use. I will continue to repurchase it through you and will also keep it in mind when speaking with other horse owners at the shows that I attend.

Fantastic for any stomach upset or as a preventative
review by Julianne
I have 4 horses and 25 dogs and have been using ProBios for many years. Anytime one of the "kids" has a stomach upset, I give them ProBios. It aids in putting their digestive tracts back on the right course and gives their immune systems a boost. I always use it after worming and during use of any antibotics for both the horses and dogs. I also use it daily with my older animals. I use the human version for myself everyday. (Posted on 11/24/10)

"Should be in every Home for Pet's and on the Farm for all Animal's"!!
review by Nan
Probios is a product I have used for years, from my herding dogs,to my horses, sheep and lambs. Keeps my animal's in the top of health by utilizing the feed and grasses they eat. Helps the immune system perform at it's best. And should always be used before, during, and after, antibiotic treatment and worming, to keep the good bacteria in check. Not only are my animals kept on a good bacteria, but my family also is on probiotic made for people! (Posted on 8/19/10)

Best things For Horses
review by Kimberly
I have a Arab mare that gets stressed out and it causes her to have stomach problems. She stops eating then she loses weight. THe vet told me that we needed to get something for her or she could get ulcers. We put her on the Probios Powder and she has not had any issues with not eating and she has put on weight. She looks great and the only thing that we have done different is put her on this product. It is a godsend. (Posted on 8/14/10)
