The best thing about the Forti Flora is that it's in premeasured packets, is
a powder and is easy to mix into wet food, and it's HIGHLY palatable - the
cats LOVE it. I'm not convinced that it's any different as far as active
ingredients goes from any other probiotic. It may be more effective
Thanks for the info on FortiFlora - I hadn[t heard of it and will
check it out for those of my gang who may need it.
