There are many formulations and manufacturers of probiotics, so always follow the specific storage instructions on the product label.

While there are no known side effects of FortiFlora, it does contain animal digest as part of the ingredient list. Animal digest is a concern to some pet owners as, according to the Association of American Feed Control Officials, it’s “ material which results from chemical and/or enzymatic hydrolysis of clean and undecomposed animal tissue. That animals tissues used shall be exclusive of hair, horns, teeth, hooves, and feathers, except in such trace amounts as might occur unavoidably in good factory practice and shall be suitable for animal feed.”Cats that are given FortiFlora are also said to have a generally improved appearance, have more energy, and are overall healthier-looking than before they started taking the supplement. Stress can upset a cat’s gut balance, making a probiotic like FortiFlora even more essential.
