I have a 6 year old adorable (but picky) maltipoo who has struggled with sensitive digestion and itchy skin for all of his 6 years. We finally found a diet that he has consistently loved that has helped a lot. I wanted to try a probiotic to see if it would help heal his gut and help with his sensitive skin as well. His poop has never been consistent for too long, erring on the side of soft to runny usually. It got better with the new diet, and once I started him on the probiotic, it took a few weeks, but his poop has been perfect! He is 12 pounds so the dosage of 1 scoop (1/2 TBSP) was way too much for him, (it’s that amount for up to 50 #) He had liquid poo for days so I think it was way too much to start with. We’ve been giving him 1/8 tsp instead and that has worked perfectly, so much that I don’t think it will be necessary to up the dose much. He’s still pretty itchy, but probiotics take time to really work and it’s only been a few weeks, but his stomach is already soooo much better. Grateful to have found this brand. He loves the calming treats, allergy treats, and doesn’t seem to be put off by the probiotic in his food. Very happy dog and dog mama!
