PetAg Bene-Bac Plus - 4.5 oz Powder - FOS & Probiotics for Dogs, Cats, Exotic & Wildlife Mammals

Convenient to add to their food and boosts immune system!

We used this to help nurse our bunny back to health after he battled Coccidia and E. Cuniculi early on in his life. We would easily sprinkle it over some wet greens for him. He didn’t seem bothered by the taste at all. Since he is so tiny, one bottle lasts us a long time. We credit Bene-Bac for really helping to repair his gut health. He is now a very happy and healthy two-year old bunny.

I was using another brand, but this one has more probiotic strains, so I made the switch.So far, so good.

I mix this probiotic powder w/ baby food or applesauce whenever one of my pet rats is taking antibiotics, to maintain a healthy amount of beneficial bacteria in their intestines (which antibiotics kill). Probiotics aren't just for humans - they can help pet animals as well. :-) This brand has a good variety of different bacteria species. It's also easy to mix into food & has no flavor, aside from slight sweetness. That's also a big plus, because animals can be fussy!

I have a senior cat (somewhere over 16) who was losing weight, vomiting and had terrible diarrhea. After extensive vet testing, the best they could come up with was probably IBD and good luck with that. He was too old and thin to safely biopsy. So I started researching and decided food sensitivities might be an issue. At the same time The Kitten Lady on YouTube mentioned Bene-bac for sickly kittens or any cat with digestive issues. My old boy now eats a limited ingredient wet turkey (chicken makes his gut explode) with Bene-bac added. He really misses his old wet food, so getting him to eat is a challenge, but the presence of the product doesn't deter him at all. He eats it the same with or without the product if I mix it in, maybe even making him like it a little more. He's not a fan of it just sitting on top of the food - maybe a texture issue? So his poo is almost back to normal, though still super stinky (he sneaks the other cat's food occasionally), and his stomach no longer makes endless growling and popping sounds. Something is working! I don't know if it was just switching to a novel protein or if adding Bene-bac did the trick, but I figure an old cat's digestion isn't what it used to be. Adding pre- and probiotics would probably help, can't hurt, and it's not very expensive, since one bottle has lasted weeks.

This probiotic is a life saver for my 6 year old chinchilla. She had a surgery last summer and developed post-surgery stacis, producing virtually droppings. Even though we had the prescribed stacis medicine, this lasted for about 4 days at which point I started to add this probiotic into the her critical care, and she started passing the very next day! So I keep adding the probiotic to the critical care until after a few more weeks she finally went back to her normal diet.Then just last week, I noticed she seemed to have some sever abdomen pain. She barely walked or moved, and when she did she can't keep her belly off the floor, and eventually just lie on her side. We suspected it was because she chewed some tape off the cardboard that we use as fences during her play time, and might have swallowed it. Since she almost didn't eat or drink or had any droppings for the entire day, the most urgent thing was to get some water and food into her. So I gave her some critical care mixed with the probiotic, some more lukewarm water (the key is really to make sure she takes in water and nutrition), and some left over pain medicine from her previous doctor visits. The exotic vets weren't in the office for the night so we had to wait until next morning for her to be seen. I was so worried about her since she looked absolutely awful, that I was even afraid that I might wake up and found her dead. But to my surprise, when I rushed to her cage the next morning, I found some new droppings on the cage floor! She still looked a little out of shape, but at least was moving around a bit more, and she finished the few pellets left in her bowl the previous night, meaning she wanted to eat. So I gave her another feeding of critical care mixed with the probiotic, and left some more food in her bowl. After she had her rest in the day, she was almost as good as new, and was producing the most beautiful droppings I've ever seen :) By that point, I was confident that after a final critical care feeding, she should be good to go.I can't help sharing this long story because I was so happy to have nursed my chinchilla back to health with the help of this probiotic. I can't completely rule out the possibility of coincidence, but my experience with the probiotic has been so positive, that I'd like to give a high recommendation. I'd like to wish good health to all pets, and happiness to their owners.

Best product for bunnies with loose cecotpyes and GI issues. I was using a different brand that worked, but this one works even better. My bun bun is finally eating her hay consistently and having regular poops and cecotpyes. Yes! It was recommended in a FB rabbit savy group and I'm so glad I tried it!

AWESOME product...Ive been using it for years !Great for transitioning pups from mom to water. No dieareeya
