I used inner health plus for a while but never bothered to replace the bottle - not sure it did much. Maybe he didn't need it.

I just use greek yoghurt now - I buy a tub occasionally for him, or if he'e been off. Mum only ever used yoghurt or protexin on foals.

Don't forget your malt is much smaller than a human and dogs have different digestive tracts. Has the vet recommended anything?

They recommended Entralive but they've run out of stock until next week, so I was wondering what I could supplement for the time being!

I bought some through my vet - can't recall brand off hand but used a tiny grain on my baby puppies. Have a look online at vet n pet direct as well.

Thanks for your reply!

I'm on the site right now and I saw the PAW Digesticare. Can you use that even though your pup doesn't have diarrhea or any digestive issues? She needs some probiotics to rebalance her natural flora.

Hi guys,

So my Maltese recently had a few antibiotic shots and now she has a mild yeast infection. I've read that probiotics can help regulate her normal gut flora and help with the yeast. I've started adding plain, non fat (Jalna, the green cap brand) to her food but I don't think there's enough active strains in there to do much.

I can't seem to find any probiotics made for dogs specifically around here, and I read that human ones work just as well.

Can anyone recommend any probiotic brands that they've had success with? I read somewhere that Inner Health Plus is great (the one kept in the fridge) and it's one capsule per day per adult. If so, what would the dosage be for a 4kg dog?

If not Inner Health Plus, what other recommendations do you have? Someone said the Blackmores Acidophilus one works well.

Thanks!

Have you tried switching proteins? Do you use any chemicals around the house? Is it possible its seasonal?

Hi guys,

Recently I've come across several articles stating that the common ingredient 'carrageenan', found in many wet forms of dog foods (and human foods also) may cause health problems.

I would like to inquire if anyone feeds their dogs any wet foods without carrageenan in them?

Thanks in advance!
