I feed my dog a natural diet using foods meant for people such as turkey, beef, spinach, broccoli, apples, tuna or sardines, etc. To ensure he's getting everything he needs, I use this as well as one or two other high-grade "toppers" to ensure he's getting all the nutrients he needs.
I also cannot give my pup heartworm/flea/tick pills each month like most do as they make him violently ill. I researched why, and glad I did. Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't give it to him even if he tolerated it! So I'm actually glad that happened with only third dose so the pesticides they use in these things didn't build up in him. I had to get him back to optimal health though.
I also found out that making sure you pup is in top health allows them to naturally fight off these ailments a majority of the time, the key being in TOP, OPTIMAL, HEALTH. A probiotic goes a long way towards that, along with high quality, non-processed, natural foods in the right proportions.
I just sprinkle this on his home-made food each morning and he doesn't even notice it, or doesn't care, because he's more than happy to eat all his food.
His "droppings" have dramatically changed too. No more loose, or runny, or odd-colored, which I think is a combination of the probiotic and the better quality food he now gets.

My boxer is gassy because she eats so fast. The addition of Just Pets probiotic has made such a difference! She continues to gobble her food, but has much less gas, her poops are better, and her coat is silkier.

Life. Changing.
My pup struggled with loose stool and diarrhea for 6 weeks this summer. It was miserable. Took her to the vet, nothing wrong. Clearly, however, there was. I found Just Pets and purchased a bottle not knowing what else to do. NOTHING else was working! I learned the difference between products and what it means for it to be spore based - and figured, why not? Makes sense, right? Well... bought it, got it & 5 days later she was good to go! Right on back to doggie daycare and me back to my normal work schedule! She has been on it since. I sprinkle it on her food and she doesn't even know it's there. Love it.
However, let me also share something amazing with Just Thrive period. They actually connect with you and help you! Yes! A company which personally connects with you to HELP YOU! I know.. I know. Like the good ol' days, right???
I simply cannot say enough.

Great product. At first the results were questionable, but we stuck with the product for a while and we’ve definitely noticed an improvement in our dog’s overall health. In particular, his ears don’t seem as itchy as the used to be.

I thought I'd give this a try after picking up not so pleasant **** while walking the dog!. What a difference it's made! And, she actually seems to like her dog food better with this sprinkled on top!
