About this deal

While Entercoccus faecium may occasionally be found contributing to infections in human patients, this is predominantly in hospitalized patients. While these infections can be very serious, they are considered very rare outside of a hospital environment where patients are already ill and have very compromised immune systems. Proven to help support a healthy immune system and helps support intestinal health and microflora balance. Contains the lactic acid bacteria Enterococcus faecium SF68™, at levels proven to support intestinal health and microflora balance in dogs. Tripe is from the lining of a ruminant’s stomach. And it’s full of the same digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria that help dogs break down food. The intestinal tract is an environment that supports many strains of different types of bacterial microflora that all need to be maintained within a certain balance to help with proper digestion and avoid digestive upset. Contains a guaranteed level of a proprietary microencapsulated strain of viable probiotic (Enterococcus faecium SF68™) (5 x 108 CFU*/g) The microencapsulation process enhances stability, guaranteeing levels of live beneficial bacteria entering the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

The manufacturer also indicates that FortiFlora is manufactured using a proprietary microencapsulation process for enhanced stability to aid in passage through the GI tract. In the same vein, the manufacturer of FortiFlora does recommend exercising caution using FortiFlora in pets with severely compromised immune systems. It’s important to discuss FortiFlora use with your vet if you have concerns that your cat may have a severely compromised immune system.According to the manufacturer, FortiFlora for cats is not known to have any observed or expected side effects. And generally, many veterinarians would agree that probiotics appear to be safe and well-tolerated by a majority of pets. Your dog needs probiotics to defend the gut. When there are more good bacteria, the gut can fight off anything it sees as a threat. That’s why you want more probiotics. Fermented foods like kefir, veggies and tripe aren’t always probiotic. Not unless they list the bacteria strains and guarantee a certain viable CFU.

Enterococcus bacteria produce compounds called bacteriocins, which have the ability to target certain other bacterial strains, especially pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria, and Clostridium species. The bacterial strain that FortifFlora contains, Enterococcus faecium, is a strain of bacteria naturally found within the digestive tract.

Plants from these seeds don’t die when sprayed with glyphosate-based weed killers. But after it’s sprayed there are traces of glyphosate in the plant … and that means it could be present in the supplement. Glyphosate is another problem. In fact, over 90% of the soy crop grown in the US is from genetically modified seed from Monsanto. Monsanto creates seeds that are resistant to glyphosate weed killers like Roundup.

And remember, if you do want to give your pet a probiotic supplement look for one with a high CFU count and no fillers. If your probiotic doesn’t already include a prebiotic, it’s a good idea to add one to make your probiotic more effective. If there is a shift in the bacterial balance within the digestive tract, this can lead to overgrowth of some bacteria that may contribute to what is called dysbiosis, where we can see digestive issues like loose stool and diarrhea develop.

Helps maintain good faecal quality. Can be used for GI disturbances associated with stress, antibiotic use or diet change. But having only one bacteria strain in a probioticsupplement is a problem. That’s because the digestive tract is home to hundreds of different types of bacteria. And each one thrives in different sections of the digestive system. When or whether your cat should be on a probiotic, and how long your kitty should stay on a product like FortiFlora, should be discussed with your veterinarian. Some folks may recognize Enterococcus as a bacteria that has the potential to cause disease, sometimes cultured from some infections.
