The product was great but the shipping is horrible. “One Star” for shipping. Was shipped with 2 other items. Needed to be shipped in a box NOT a paper bag which torn completely open. Horrible!

These are very small treats that help with digestive issues. I have noticed less gas and belching for our 70lb dog using just three small treats a day. Not sure why, but they have worked for us. I would not call them "soft" chews though they aren't hard like kibble. Then again, I have a chow hound who is not very picky when it comes to anything edible. I do recommend you try them if you have a dog that has some tummy issues, but certainly if there is anything serious like vomiting or diarrhea, consult your vet!

I got this bc sometimes my dogbro would wake up not wanting to eat sometimes and he would throw up clear liquid because his stomach "isn't getting any food", which he was getting but he's picky when it comes to finishing his dinner. In combination with other strategies like feeding him closer to bedtime, and among others, I wanted something more for his gut health. I got this he eats it when I treat it like a high-value treats to motivate him to eat It and he does. His poops have been non-liquidy too (even tho that wasn't a prevailing issue) but it is another thing I noticed that I thought was a potential benefit.

I have had him on these Prebiotics for about two weeks now and he enjoys taking them. There has only been a couple of times that for some reason they didn't work on his stools, not sure why. Generally they are keeping his stools solid and his poops seems to be a little smaller which means he is getting more of his nourtrition out of his food. As long as he is doing better that is all that counts and at least with these ones you get enough for 40 days instead of some that only last a couple of weeks at three a day. I wish they would go on sale so I could stock up as I do find them a little pricey but until they do I will continue to purchase them.

They're fine, but for a few extra dollars you can get a great 10-in-1 multi chew that helps with more than just digestion. Great to have as a backup or if your fur baby doesn't need anything extra for skin, coat, etc.

Made my dog sick...only gave her a few then stopped. Not sure what is in them but beware if your pup has a sensitive stomach.

I bought this because it has good reviews. My 7 month old doggie has digestion problems since I got him. Vomiting and refusing to eat most days and a rumbling tummy most of the time. The product is in a capsule form and he will not swallow it. I have to push it down his throat and keep his mouth closed so that he can swallow. This could result in a few attemps which upsets the dog. I cannot put contents on his food as he mostly refuse his food anyway. Wish this was in a chewable form. I will continue this and see in few weeks if any change in his health.

My dog is picky with his food and does better with capsules in peanut butter rather than chewable medications. He has struggled with elevated liver enzymes since he was a puppy, and has had to be coaxed to eat; typical of liver shunts that sometimes occur in his breed (Havanese).I’m trying to get/keep his enzymes down, so in addition to changing his food, I give him one of these every morning. Coupled with his food and this medicine, I can tell he feels better and his liver enzymes are staying at a much more manageable level. I am impressed with the results and plan to keep using them.Update: It’s been a couple of months now since my dog started taking these supplements regularly along with his liver-support food, and he’s been doing consistently better with this regimen. Sometimes after eating things that aren’t part of his regular diet, he clearly doesn’t feel well and also needs Sam-e. On those days, the Sam-e coupled with this milk thistle seem to help him feel more like eating within a few hours. For the most part though, his liver support food and this milk thistle seem to keep him pretty well regulated. I’m so grateful there are herbal supplements like this out there that help to support my dog’s general liver health.

My cat was diagnosed with pancreatitis which can be deadly so I frantically searched for help for her that was NOT chemicals. This Ark Naturals Gentle Digest was recommended at a holistic pet store. I added two more products on my own which the holistic store approved of and they are 2 drops of non-alcoholic Milk Thistle Seed and PetAlive Pancreas Booster (which unfortunately is expensive but it works and I'm afraid to change). Since cats have a mind of their own and freely reject anything that doesn't smell "right" to them, I take the tops off the two capsule products and empty a little of the powder in her food along with the Milk Thistle drops. If gently done, the tops can be placed back on for the other two meals.I feed her 3 meals a day in order to spread out her intake since there is no way to get the entire capsule down her. I also feed her low fat high quality canned cat food. Natural ingredients take longer to work but I can say that after a handful of months, she was back to her kittenish self! Fortunately, I caught this early and I'm sure that helps too. If allowed, I swear I would preach against kibble as it is my opinion (and good research bears this out) that cats and dogs need real food. Her canned food is real chicken, real duck and real liver. Many cats recover by being switched to raw but she was 6 years old when I adopted her so raw didn't work for her. There is no way to know what she ate for 6 years so I just buy the high quality pet food (Weruva and Earthborn, both sold here) because she likes them. Hope this review helps others struggling with that awful disease.

Always tough (maybe impossible?) to measure, but we have a dog that has had immune system issues since we adopted him including mites (Demodectic Mange), skin problems and other ailments where his immune system had issues fighting them off. I personally have had experience with clear results using probiotics and enzymes so it was a no-brainer to try these out. It takes time and you never specifically know if these had a positive effect -- but I lean towards being 95-100% confident that they have had a positive effect. Ironically, our dog had a stomach bug over the last week or so and he ended up fighting it off, which sounds like no big deal -- but it is. Couple notes that many people are aware of, but unfortunately, many people are not:1. Antibiotics kill "good" (beneficial) bacteria along with the bacteria that cause illnesses. They are overprescribed by doctors to humans (seriously overprescribed) and I've seen the same with pets. A decrease in beneficial bacteria may lead to digestive problems and antibiotics don't have any effect on viruses, other than possibly empowering them as they decrease our immune systems.2. Probiotics shouldn't be started, stopped and restarted, etc. -- according to the research I have read. Once stopped, they lose their effectiveness and advantages are lost. That being said, as with any supplement, start off small even with a larger animal and go slowly -- then be consistent.Be safe, careful and take your time. Also, the advantages could take weeks/months to be seen -- and this product is affordable. We actually open the capsules and dump into the food so you don't need to deal with giving your pet a pill (never fun). Giving probiotics with food can limit the effectiveness, but our results with our dog have been solid, nonetheless. Once you have had a pet with immune system issues, you appreciate any and all improvements.
