Vet Classics Protegrity GI Probiotic Soft Chews for Dogs and Cats
For dogs and cats over 6 weeks of age.
Product Description
Protegrity GI is a probiotic soft chew for dogs and cats, built around the patented Bacillus subtilis PB6 strain and paired with a prebiotic and digestive enzymes. It's aimed at situations that knock gut flora out of balance: a course of antibiotics, a deworming, a diet change, boarding, travel, or the general stress of an illness.
Bacillus subtilis is a spore-forming probiotic, which is the practical advantage over refrigerated strains — spores are more stable at room temperature and survive the trip through stomach acid better, so what's on the label has a better chance of reaching the intestine. The prebiotic fructooligosaccharides feed the organisms once they get there, and the enzyme blend supports the breakdown of food for absorption.
One chew a day covers a dog or a cat of any size, which makes it simple in a multi-pet household.

How to Use
Give one chew daily for dogs and cats of all sizes, or as directed by your veterinarian. For use in animals over 6 weeks of age.
If your pet is on an antibiotic, ask your veterinarian about spacing the doses — probiotics are commonly given a couple of hours apart from antibiotic doses.
Give it consistently and give it time. Probiotics work through sustained daily use, and it's worth continuing through the full stressful period, whether that's a boarding stay, a diet transition, or a course of medication.
Additional Information
For dogs and cats. This is a nutritional supplement, not an FDA-approved drug, and not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
Store as directed on the label with the container closed. Probiotic viability depends on proper storage.
Keep out of reach of children and pets. The chews are palatable, so don't leave the container where an animal can get into it.
Talk to your veterinarian
Persistent diarrhea or vomiting, weight loss, blood or mucus in the stool, or a pet who has stopped eating needs an exam rather than a supplement. Chronic digestive signs can come from parasites, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatic insufficiency, or a foreign body, and none of those resolve with probiotics. In cats especially, more than a day or two without eating is its own medical problem.
