Are you giving the "human" version or is this specifically for dogs?
I'd love to know the brand, amount etc. you are giving. Seems you've had good luck thus far.

Thanks!

It's really not a science and it's virtually impossible to "OD" within reason. So far I haven't found brand to really matter. No it's human I don't give supplements made for dogs unless they don't come in human versions (ie vitamins). Get whatever brand is on sale at Wal-Mart, Target, grocery store, etc (which is what I do I do not stick to one brand, I get the cheapest), and I give 1 capsule with each meal (which for us is 2 per day). I open it up and sprinkle on top of the food and they both eat it without issue. My male has colitis and needs it to help keep his stools solid and does fine on whatever I get, my girl just gets bad gas and it eliminates it for her and I don't notice any change in either of them when I switch brands. They do have to be refrigerated once opened though.

I guess sometimes the obvious isn't quite so obvious!

We use prebiotics and acidopholous on a regular basis in our house... never dawned on me to include Roxy in on the dosing!!!

Let's hope this eliminates the need for air fresheners in every room!
