My pity was feeling discomfort and this product has done the job.

I’ve recently switched from native pet to this but my cat doesn’t really like it and will not eat her food if she smells this. With native pet it was different, she wouldn’t eat her food unless her probiotics was there.

Seemed to help my cat’s tummy. She loves when I make a little gravy with this stuff and water and pour it over her food. I’ve never seen her lick/drink something so fast in my lifetime life. I think it helps her stomach/digestive issues.

KittyGut is a complete probiotic with prebiotics and postbiotics. I've been giving some of my six (ranging in age from six to around 18) for years, and was interested in KittyGut because it's a large, affordable package that allows me to give all my guys the supplement without worrying about the cost. It's hard to separate the kitties at meal time -- they switch bowls constantly -- so the ones that really needed the supplement weren't always getting it.Now they all do. None of my cats has turned his or her nose up at this supplement. I can stir it in or sprinkle it on top of the food. They'll eat it no matter how it's served.This blend helps elderly cats who are eternally hungry absorb more nutrition and put on weight. It also helps my two that have frequent problems with diarrhea. The problem becomes negligible as long as they get the supplement in their food. Another cat, a nine-year-old, had recently started passing gas. I gave her an extra bit of this in a treat for a few days and the problem stopped for a month. It came back recently, so I did it again -- and it went away,I'm very happy with this probiotic blend and will use it again.

First of all, it would be nice if this came in something that made it easier to dispense. I had been using Fortiflora, which Purina makes and it comes in little pouches, which I think is wasteful but something in between like a jar with a spoon would be ideal. I ended up decanting this into a mason jar.This is listed as a 45 day supply.Active ingredients they just say proprietary blend. Inactive are rice bran, blackstrap molasses, bentonite clay, kelp meal and sea salt.Tried giving this Kitty Gut to 3 cats. Two scarfed it up. One turned up his nose even when sprinkled on his favorite food. Not a big sample, but all the cats I have access to!The Fortiflor I was using is a probiotic with some liver flavor and brewers yeast added. I had been giving this to my cat when he had to take antibiotics, at the vets request. It did seem to help some. I had done a little research when it was prescribed, reading a few research articles on probiotics given to felines for diarrhea. They mostly had positive findings, but the sample sizes were small, say 8 cats in the treatment group and 4 in the control was the norm. I also read some research on using it for overweight cats, but they found no differences. One article on teeth said maybe it helped. But all these studies had low power as they had small sample sizes. But I generally came away with the idea that it might help, and I did not see any negative reports. I did find that the probiotic did seem to help some with the diarrhea from antibiotics, but of course I have only that one sample, so that is not really much of a study. I will say the 3 cats I have given it to (see above) will eat the Fortiflor.There is not a ton of actual scientific research on if probiotics help cats. There is a little more for dogs, but cats seem to have been left behind a bit in the research. And because I cannot find anywhere what actual strains are present in this product, I cannot address what might work or not when looking at the research.. I am actually a little uncomfortable with this, we have all seen some of the issues that arose from pet food products in the past, and I want to know what I am giving my cats. I cannot find that information anywhere so you decide for yourself if that is an issue for you. I even looked up their scientist but could only find one publication, which was on extract from sea buckthorn berries.If the company has some peer reviewed literature about this product I would love to see it. Maybe a page on your website? All I see on the research page is some general links to gut microbiomes research that are for humans, not cats. Cats are not omnivores so I am have some questions about that. I will check the site in a few weeks and see if they have posted any.I am giving this to the cat who is on antibiotics and is willing to eat it and have not noticed any ill effects. I will come back if I find any issues. In all my research I did not find anything that said any of the probiotics were harmful. I am doing so even though I do not know what is in it specifically. I think it would be great if small companies would not only get into creating products for our pets but also testing them.These are the articles I read in case anyone else is interested.

It also has a nice list of references. Beyond the ones above I skimmed some of the others as well.

It's nice that this is a powder instead of pill form. My cats are all finicky so I have to be creative with anything, including this. One of them can smell human food, meds, vitamins, anything that's not regular cat food, even cat treats and he won't eat it. Except a tad bit of butter or tuna. Luckily the tuna is strong enough to mask the smell of this. The others I could put into or on any other food but mixed in and they'll eat it. I'm happy with the results, tho I'm still not giving it to them all every day, the one who was vomiting all the time when I adopted him has gone down to maybe once a week at most. Between this and having a consistent mealtime/ amount/ brand of food have all helped him so much and he's even put on a little weight.

Kitty Gut was recommended to me by a dog friend to help my very lazy fat cat get healthy. She had used Mutt Gut on her dog. My cat had been very lethargic and I was concerned that he was a little constipated. I added a small sprinkle of Kitty Gut to his food every day and within the week I noticed him being far more active and playful. He also started having regular bowel movements which must have contributed to his overall happiness. Now, a few months in, my cat is on his way to a healthy weight and is an all round much happier kitty.Kitty Gut is a great product and I am so happy that it was recommended to me.
