Probiotics for Dogs -(360 Scoops)-Probiotic Miracle -Advanced, Species Specific Probiotics and Prebiotics to Stop Diarrhea, Loose Stool, and Yeast-Plus Immune Support

I don't write a lot of reviews, but thought this might help other dog parents. I have been dealing with my Shih Tzu's allergies for over 2 years. She is 12 years old now. At first, we thought it must be food allergies, so we went through many food changes and nothing helped. It turned out to be environmental (grass, pollen, who knows what else!)The vet recommended Cytopoint injections along with a shampoo for fungus/yeast. After the first injection, I thought we found a miracle! It worked so well, itching and licking stopped, there are no side effects as it is a biologic. Unfortunately, after about 6 months of monthly injections, the effectiveness wore off. I was lucky if the shot lasted 2 weeks before the itching returned. The entire time on Cytopoint, she still had seborrheic and inflamed skin - the shampoo was not helping. She was on this combination for over 2 years (trying different shampoos along the way) and I was bathing her at least two time a week, but she was still greasy and within a day she smelled bad.Fast forward to 2 months ago. She got small sore on her neck, I thought it was from scratching. It was healing and I took her for a Crytopoint injection. About 2 weeks later, I saw this huge sore on her neck above the one that had healed, dripping with blood. I freaked out and called the vet and took her right in. It was a nasty hot spot, which she has never had! Since the Cytopoint was clearly no longer effective, the vet recommended Apoquel. I had her on this exactly 14 days and it did stop the itching but she had VERY bad side effects. Panting, increased thirst, increased hunger, acted strange, couldn't relax and the hot spot would not heal, it kept breaking open and bleeding! I did research and learned that Apoquel suppresses the immune system. I stopped her immediately from this drug. Within 2 days off the Apoquel, the side effects were gone and the hot spot scabbed over and within a week it was completely gone. I asked the vet if I could give her Claritin (just the regular not the D) and she said yes, 1/2 pill once a day (she weighs 16 lbs).At my wits end, I was researching probiotics for dog allergies and came upon this product. I was so desperate at that point, I would have tried anything safe to help my baby feel better. I started her on one scoop per day (I give her a little over a full scoop now). It is such a small scoop, I just knew it wouldn't work. I am SO happy I was wrong!! Within a week, I noticed her hair was not as greasy and she didn't have that awful smell. The skin on her stomach is now beginning to turn pink again (after just 3 weeks on this), instead of red and inflamed. The constant scratching and licking has subsided. The hair on her back is starting to grow again (it had gotten pretty thin and not much growth). AND, I'm bathing her just once a week. I also found this shampoo (also purchased on Amazon) worked WAY better than the one the vet gave me and it's cheaper: BEXLEY LABS Curaseb Benzoyl Peroxide Dog Shampoo.I'm hopeful that keeping her on this probiotic along with Claritin and the shampoo that I will continue to see improvements. I can tell she is feeling better, she is playful again rather than distracted by itching and licking. The probiotic might not work for all dogs, but it has for mine - It is certainly worth trying! I only wish I knew about this 2 years ago! By the way, there must be no flavor to this powder, I mix it with her dry + wet food combo and she eats it up (she is an extremely picky eater, but she doesn't seem to notice this).

Over 2 years and finally found a product that works. We had our 5 pound Yorkie-Poo to 5 different vets and she actually got worse, and after spending over $2500 for vets and medication, they told us we don't know what else we can do for her. The one thing that vets know how to do is collect their office fees and sell you useless medication. And now we have a bald dog and bleeding from scratching.It all started with my dog constantly scratching, Do the vets listen to what you are saying probably not, they been educated to up-sell, looking for the obvious like flees, but none found but they still wants to sell you Comfortis. Next comes all sort of tests, from mange, skin infections and allergy's, etc. We had the allergy test done that is not very cheap $800 and got the result that she is allergic to 27 different items, the only reason they stopped at 27, is because that is the maximum amount per one test, if I had done another test they probably would find another 27.We live live Florida and everything here is green, she was allergic to all the grass that grow here. And the list went on to point out that she was allergic to pork, by now we where convinced she was a Jewish dog, They over well you with the reports, when I look at it now, I believe I had the sucker word imprinted in my forehead. Anyway we bought into the medical garbage and proceeded to give our dog shots, it starts with every other day until eventually it is once per month, the poor dog had to endure this torment and my brave wife had to learn how to give the dog the shot. I was too chicken for these procedure.In the mean time the dog has not stopped scratching, so now they tell me it takes up to 90 days before we see any results, in the mean time they prescribe, antibiotics, prednisone, shampoos, food diets and the list just goes on. The prednisone caused my dog to vomit blood and have blood in her stool. Contacted the vet and of course they need to see her, after the visit, the vet said the dosage was to large for her, crap what am I paying you for? The dog is weight on every visit.Now I started to investigate the drugs that the vets where prescribing my dog, Prednisone a Steroid medication can weaken your immune system, making it easier for you to get an infection. If the dog is being treated for allergy a immune system problem and now we want to weaken some more? Antibiotics indiscriminately kill bacteria, both good and bad, again immune system is being compromised.After being one year on the allergy shots and doing the same thing over and over I had enough. Decided no more vets and find a solution for her, I got to confess that I'm anti-medicine and I will not even take a aspirin. And I believe aspirin is one of medicine great discoveries, just using commonsense we know that every thing we swallow ends up in the stomach and the body's immunity is built in the intestinal tract by the friendly bacteria balance that resides there.Searching the web I discovered Probiotic Miracle, I had nothing to loose and I ordered the 360 size, this would have lasted my dog over year, but I have another little Yorkie only 3 1/2 pounds and I feed them both this product, one small scoop that comes with the product. It is a white powder, without any odor and the dogs don't complain at all. We just purchased our second container of Probiotic Miracle. I waited over 6 months before writing this review, we have experienced in the past false hopes.This is a true Miracle Probiatic, all the hair is back, reduced the scratching by 90%, her ears are up just like we got her as a puppy. Our groomer is amazed what this product has done for our dog, we walk twice every day morning and evening about 1 1/2 miles and the neighbors can believe how good she looks. I'm so impressed with this product that I'm thinking about spreading some on my food.
