Vetoquinol Pro-Pectalin Chewable Tablets for Dogs & Cats, Helps Relieve Occasional Diarrhea, Situational Diarrhea Relief with Kaolin and Pectin, Contains Beneficial Probiotic Bacteria, 60ct

I recommend the article by Brett Harling DVM "Acute canine diarrhea: is it time to rethink our treatment approach?" online at at DVM360. It is written for veterinarians, so is not dumbed down for patients. At the end of the article, he explains the three ways Pro-Pectalin works.Pro-Pectalin works well for my dog and always works. Without it, a soft stool issue gets worse and worse until there is mucus, blood and liquid stool. The stool is not the issue, of course, but the distress to my dog's GI tract. The cause is unknown. When she is on a steady routine, the problem can start up. Reading these reviews has been much more helpful than talking to the vet, because these represent a wide spectrum of issues and advice for a context for me to try to solve the problem and keep my dog healthy.My only concern is that using these constantly could block the metabolism of some nutrients. My vet said that the only concern is masking an underlying issue. If I take my dog off of Pro-Pectalin, does the problem come back? Sometimes.If we didn't have these, she would be in serious trouble with her gut becoming more and more irritated. It helps to quiet everything down. When her stool is normal, I have done a long, long, long tapering off over weeks. She is then normal for a few weeks without them and when the condition returns, I do not hesitate to start again.This brand is the only one I trust because I use another one of their products, Flexadin Advanced, that uses UCII to prevent the immune system from degrading joint tissue. No other product does this. It turn her from a lame dog into an athlete within days and has kept her that way for a year and a half now. When the vet prescribed ProPectalin and dispensed them from the clinic at a ridiculously high price, I researched them and found that they were developed by Vetoquinol, so bought this product.Many products are out there for the convenience of the caretaker so that stool is easy to pick up, which is faulty thinking, especially when food is formulated with that in mind. The issue is the health of the dog, not the convenience for the human. I don't think soft stool is a problem unless it is known to be the start of a course of illness. Liquid stool, rather than soft stool, is always a cause for serious concern.I keep a spreadsheet noting the percentage of full dose she is getting, the hardness of the stool, the presence of blood, of mucus, of strong odor, together with her activity level and stress level plus the blandness of the food. Each is assigned a percentage value. It was easy to set up using the iPhone Numbers spreadsheet and takes a moment to keep up to date. It has a correlation function so that I can see objectively what factors are related. For example, if she is stressed out by another dog when we are out on a walk and has loose stool, likely they are related and it is not part of a health trend.I always want to have this on hand. The product tub is big but the product doesn't expire for over a year.The only down side was that the plastic was cracked by the thoughtless packaging and shipping. I got it within 3 hours of ordering but it was in a paper envelope and crushed. I was prepared for this from other reviews and simply transferred the tabs to an airtight container along with the desiccant pack.As my dog ages, I think it is natural that her tummy becomes more sensitive. I am so glad I have this to support her health. I hope that more research will show the causes of the problem and the way the remedy works.

This medication is great to help your fur-baby with digestion issues. It works for resolving diarrhea and makes your fur-baby to feel more like themselves.We found when we add peanut butter to it to make peanut butter balls for them, it's easier to digest plus the dogs love the taste.It's great to be able to order it on Amazon. Saving a trip to the vet and having it delivered to our home is honestly a Godsend.

This stuff is terrific! My dog suddenly developed watery diarrhea. He was waking me up repeatedly during the night desperate to go outside. He had several accidents on the carpet. I took a poop sample to the vet. All the tests came back negative. I ordered these probiotic tablets. I gave him on last night. He ate it willingly, and he slept through the night last night. He didn’t need to go out once during the night for the first time in 5 days!!! Thank you for a great product that works! If your dog has diarrhea, buy this!

We've been using Vetoquinol Pro-Pectalin Chewable Tablets for our dog for several months now, and I can confidently say this product really works. Anytime our pup has occasional diarrhea—whether from stress, a new food, or just an upset stomach—these tablets help get things back to normal quickly.The 250-count bottle is a great value for the price—much more affordable than repeated vet visits. And the auto ship option is a lifesaver. I never have to worry about running out, and the discount helps keep costs down.

This helped my dog’s diarrhea in one day. She has not had the solid poops yet that are normal, but they are also not liquid and can be picked up. I have only had her on these for 3 days at this point.

This stuff really works! My dog eats them like treats, they work fast and clear up any diarrhea in just a few hours. Amazing!

Absolutely works !! Save yourself a 200 plus dollar vet fee, just to have them sell you this product in tube form marked up 100 percent. I keep the pills around for whenever one of my dogs gets a bout of diarrhea. Works great!!!!

A vet tech at our clinic told me about this product. We love it! Anytime my pups stools get loose, we start giving it to them. It also does an amazing job getting rid of a case of diarrhea. I also have been giving this to my pup who just had TPLO surgery due to the side effects from the anti inflammatory medication. It really helped with the upset stomach. Buy this product, you wont regret it.
