Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Fortiflora Canine 1g Sachets

Pro Plan FortiFlora Canine may begin supporting gut microbiome balance and improving faecal quality within 5 to 7 days of once-daily use, though some dogs may take 3 to 4 weeks to show noticeable improvement. The speed of response typically depends on the underlying cause of the digestive upset, whether stress, antibiotic therapy, a diet change, or microflora imbalance. Dogs experiencing flatulence alongside loose stools may see both symptoms improve as the gut microbiome restores balance. If your dog's diarrhoea is severe, bloody, or does not begin to improve within a few days, contact your veterinarian promptly.

Sprinkle one sachet of Pro Plan FortiFlora Canine onto your dog's food once daily. The liver flavour makes it palatable for most dogs, including fussy eaters, and it can be mixed into both wet and dry food. Each sachet delivers 1 x 10 to the power of 8 CFU of the microencapsulated Enterococcus lactis SF68 probiotic strain, pre-measured so no splitting or weighing is required. Giving it at the same time each day, such as with a regular meal, helps maintain consistent gut support.

Pro Plan FortiFlora Canine is commonly used alongside metronidazole, an antibiotic frequently prescribed for gastrointestinal infections in dogs, and clinical data supports faster diarrhoea resolution when the two are combined compared to metronidazole alone. More broadly, the product is designed to be given during and after any antibiotic course to help replenish beneficial bacteria that antibiotics can reduce. Always inform your veterinarian of all supplements your dog is receiving so they can confirm the combination is suitable for your dog's specific condition and treatment plan. No prescription is required to purchase FortiFlora Canine.

Pro Plan FortiFlora Canine is formulated for dogs, while Pro Plan FortiFlora Feline Sachets is formulated for cats, and the two should not be used interchangeably. Both products contain the same active probiotic strain, Enterococcus lactis SF68, and both come in liver-flavoured 1g sachets. The key formulation difference is that the feline version includes taurine, an essential amino acid cats require from their diet, whereas the canine version does not, as dogs synthesise taurine themselves. The canine formula provides a guaranteed minimum of 1 x 10 to the power of 8 CFU per gram and includes a full guaranteed analysis for crude protein, fat, fibre, and moisture.

Pro Plan FortiFlora Canine is suitable for daily long-term use and is often continued beyond the initial digestive upset to support ongoing gut health and immune function in dogs prone to recurring issues. Dogs of all ages, including puppies, can use it daily without the need for cycling on and off. It is particularly beneficial for dogs that experience repeated bouts of stress-related loose stools, such as those triggered by boarding, travel, or changes in routine. If your dog's digestive symptoms do not improve or if they recur frequently despite consistent supplementation, speak with your veterinarian to investigate whether an underlying condition is contributing.
