Advanced Probiotic & Enzymes - 4 oz Powder

Before reviewing this item, I would like to clarify the following issue. There have been several comments blaming the seller for tampering with the product, as it comes with no seal. This is not the fault of the seller. I called up the company, and was informed that at the current time this product is being sold without a top seal. I explained that selling it without a seal gives the impression that the jar has been opened, to which the representative fully agreed. The representative said that she would speak with the marketing department and inform them of my concern. I was told that management does listen to customers suggestions and therefore it would be likely that a seal would be included on future shipments of this item. Although I'm not happy that this is currently being sold unsealed, I'm not deducting any points, as this is a review of the product itself. Now for the review. For the past 13 years, I've owned a male cat who has vomited at least every other day, sometimes several times a day. Sometimes he would regurgitate hairballs, but most of the time it was projectile vomit. Through the years, I've brought him to the veterinarian and they've never provided me with a diagnosis. They have told me that my cat suffers from anxiety, but the medication that they prescribed for this did nothing to resolve the problem. Over the course of 2 months ending the middle of February 2013, I spent over $2,000 on every conceivable test and medication. They even sold me a plug-in device that supposedly reduces a cats anxiety by simulating a cats natural pheromones. They said that when a cat rubs against you or an object, he's leaving his scent behind which reduces anxiety. The plug-in device was designed to do the same thing. While it may or may not have helped to relieve his anxiety, it did nothing to deter his vomiting. Over the course of years, I've searched the Internet in the hope of finding a product that would solve my cats vomiting problem. I purchased virtually every type and brand of wet and dry food, every over the counter digestive aid, etc., all with no results. The vomiting had become so bad that I purchased an entire case of Spot-Shot carpet cleaner on Amazon to clean up the stains. Sometimes the vomiting would be 3-4 times a day, requiring the use of an entire can of carpet cleaner. Our cat, Mittens, who at one time weighed 12 pounds(he's a large cat and this is not overweight), lost several pounds, and was down to 9.3 pounds by early February. Since he's 13 years old, we thought that he was nearing the end of his life. That's when things suddenly changed. I don't even remember how or where, but somehow after running an Internet search for vomiting in cats, I ran across this product, NaturVet Digestive Enzymes. Please keep in mind that I've been searching the Internet for years, and never discovered a product that worked. At any rate, I read the reviews for NaturVet and to my dismay the majority of reviewers commented that it helped with a variety of issues with dogs. There were only a few reviews that stated it helped with cats, and even fewer that said it helped reduce vomiting in cats. At any rate, since I've tried virtually every other product on the market, I went ahead and purchased this. Admittedly, when my order arrived and the top wasn't sealed, I returned it to Amazon. I ended up buying it from a different third party Amazon seller. When the second container arrived, and I learned that it's sold without a seal, I decided to give it a try. Fully expecting to return it, I kept the shipping box and brought out the packing tape, anticipating that I'd be sending it back within a few days. This is where the miracle happens. I started using the product on 2/15/13. As instructed, I mixed a rounded teaspoonful into a cup of wet food. Several days went by and my cat didn't throw up anything, including hairballs. A week went by and still no throwing up. A week became 2 weeks, and the success continued. it's now 3/15/13, a full month since I started using NaturVet, and Mittens hasn't thrown up once, not hairballs, projectile vomit, NOTHING. In the process, he's gained back almost 2 pounds and now runs around the house like a typical 2 year old cat or kitten. This product has truly changed his life. Never in a million years did I think I would see the day that his vomiting would completely stop. The day has now come. The bottom line is that our cat suffered from vomiting for 13 years. NaturVet Digestive Enzymes completely resolved the problem. Yes, it took me 13 years to find a product that would work, but I finally did. NaturVet Digestive Enzymes receives my 2 thumbs up as the most highly recommended product that I've ever purchased on Amazon. It is truly a miracle and I'm still pinching myself to make sure it's for real. Pros: Product TOTALLY eliminated a 13 year vomiting problem with my cat. My cat has gained back almost all the weight he's lost over the years. He's running around the house like a kitten. It's very easy to use. Just mix it with wet food and you're all set. A little bit goes a long way, so the product is inexpensive. My cat is happy again and constantly purring from contentment. NaturVet is truly a "miracle." Cons: Product should be sold with a sealed top. As mentioned above, management is reviewing this issue. Would I purchase it again: Absolutely, positively, without a doubt!

My cat enjoys taking this probiotic with his food. These chews made a real difference for my cat. Easy to give, gentle on the stomach, and helped smooth a diet change with less digestive upset. I noticed better digestion and overall comfort. A solid daily support option.

***update 7/18/23- I have been purchasing this consistently to use for my Frenchie and still a great product. However I received 2 shipments where the chews had clumped together. This most recent one resulted in many turning to dust in the container. I contacted the company directly and the customer service is amazing!!! Apparently this lot was older and probably in a hot warehouse. Unfortunately they don’t sell directly so I’ll have to discuss this with Amazon. However they are sending me a replacement and they keep records of these things so if you have an issue, I definitely recommend at least reporting it to them for tracking. Extremely impressed with the customer service from NaturVet and the product. *** So this product wasn’t a cure all that fixed my Frenchie’s digestive issues on their own. They are pretty comprehensive with their ingredients and even though they aren’t cheap and he needs them with every meal, they definitely aid his digestion and are a part of the combination that has led to a healthy stool and digestive processes for him. The will continue to be part of his daily routine. It means I have to give up a few things of my own, but seeing him have a easier time with gastric emptying is worth the price. I can’t say much about improving skin or itchiness, but I’m a licensed veterinary technician and the ingredients are primarily geared toward digestion. That alone is fully worthwhile considering the problems he was having when I adopted him. Even my picky older chihuahua, who eats nothing chewable (except a specific notoriously tasty heartworm preventative) - will want one of these too when I bring the bottle out. He has refused every single other supplement I’ve tried to give him, but he loves these. A little help with digestion won’t cause him any harm either. I tried a few other probiotics, and yes- I used each for about a month to try to help him out. I should have just these by the Frenchie on the bottle after all. ;)

These start off great but they lose their freshness fast. My cat started of crazy about them. But it did not last as the freshness went really fast. We got about a week's worth of use.

je donne a mon chien naturvet enzymes que du bonheur enfin il mange et cela aide a sa digestion ce qui n etait pas le cas avant je recommande ce produit tres efficace pour mon chien

came on time well packed it dose do all it says and my dog likes it

Le doy a mi perro probióticos porque siempre tuvo problemas de estómago. Desde que se los doy está muchísimo mejor. Y esta marca concretamente le encanta. Le doy media pastilla al día, y no tengo problema para que se la coma.

4 Sterne weil ich noch nicht sagen kann ob es wirklich was für Magen tut, nach mind. 1 Monat wird man schon sehen ob es sich gelohnt hat oder doch nicht. Ich habe es gekauft weil mein Frenchie ständig Magen/Darm problemen hat, oft spucken usw., und zuletzt mit Antibiotika behandelt wurde, daher denke dass es eine gute sache ist eine Kur mit Enzymen und Probiotika. Ich bin begeistert dass mein Frenchie es so gerne frisst! Ich habe oft solche sachen gekauft denn wollte es nicht mal riechen. Und die nimmt sie aber so gern wie ein Leckerli! Wunderbar!
