NaturVet Advanced Probiotics & Enzymes, PB6 Dog Soft Chews to Help Sensitive Stomachs and Digestive Issues, Hickory Smoked Bacon Flavored Pet Supplement for Dogs Over 6 Weeks, 70 Count Jar

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!

These helped my kitty, who was very ill and taking lots of medication. He loved the taste too! I broke them up and mixed in with this food so it got him to eat more. The packaging is easy to use as well.

Good for balancing out a sensitive stomach, and use as a treat. Worked well for my dog.

I wrote the earlier review below the line, but feel I must add to it at this point. While I still feel that this is an excellent product, be aware that the form in the jars and the form in the bag ARE NOT THE SAME.I was buying the 1lb powder through subscription. For some reason that became unavailable and the packaged enzymes were recommended as a replacement. When I got them, I noticed that while the resulting analysis is exactly the same, a dose or serving between the 1 pound product and the bagged products exists. A serving of the 1 pound jar is a rounded 1/4 teaspoon. A Serving of the bagged version is TWO teaspoons or almost 8 TIMES the amount. While the 10oz bag LOOKS like a good deal, it would take roughly 80 ozs to equal 10 oz of that in a jar. As far as I can tell, the product in the jars is a MUCH better deal than that in the bag, and the 1 pound jar is the best buy.I wrote to NaurVet to ask them about the difference. That was more than a week ago and I got no response.___________INITIAL REVIEW_______________________________If you are a dog owner, by this time you have seen various articles about the importance of digestion in mitigating a number of health issues (makes you wonder why they aren't saying the same thing about humans right?). Anyway, having three dogs with an array of issues on the poor digestion list (allergy, foul gas, arthritis / inflammation, etc) I figured I would try the best combination of pre-biotic, probiotic, digestive enzymes I could find. I started seeing improvements within a few days. The only recommended ingredient missing from this product is mushrooms. Yep, do some research and mushrooms are good for us and our four legged companions. However, finding a combination with mushrooms is about 3 times the price and that puts it WAY out of my range. Luckily, the NautrVet is reasonably priced and helpful. It is on my subscription list now.If you are a dog owner, by this time you have seen various articles about the importance of digestion in mitigating a number of health issues (makes you wonder why they aren't saying the same thing about humans right?).

Good product. Our dog loves them!

Helps my cat’s stomach. Poops are more regular.
