Fera Pets Postbiotics Plus Prebiotics for Dogs & Cats, 120 Scoops

I adopted Niko a 6 pound Chihuahua mix 10 months ago. He was almost completely bald and had raw patches. He was tested for mange and that was negative. I took him to see a vet right away and he received a cytopoint injection and antibiotics. His itching had stopped and most of his fur grew back in within one month. After one month he started getting little bald spots and the itching began again. I took him to a different vet that started him on prescription kibble and was told he most likely had food allergies. Within a couple days he started losing more patches of fur and was really itchy. I took him to a different vet and he was tested for everything from ringworm to mites. She changed his prescription kibble to a potato and rabbit. Gave him antibiotics and started us on anti fungal shampoo and wipes. I spent THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS and he kept getting worse. After three months she suggested a dermatologist that charged $275 to book his appointment that would have gone towards his appointment. They were going to run every test all over again and I finally said enough! I had been doing my own research and I’m a licensed esthetician and in my opinion he had a yeast infection. I changed his diet and after one month he was starting to get better but not entirely. I was still doing my own research and I spent a ton more money trying different products doing the yeasty beasts protocol but he still wasn’t entirely cured. A very long story that I’m trying to keep short. After a few different pro/prebiotics I came across this brand of pre and postbiotics and in ONE WEEK of use his fur is starting to grow back and he’s not as itchy! This product is something that you must try!!! I could have bought a car with how much money I spent buying different products because I refused to keep him on harmful medication. I even spent thousands of dollars to become a Holistic Pet Health Coach! I can’t recommend other products on this review but buy a home test that you send off to check your dog’s intolerance. Make your on food according to what the dog doesn’t have intolerance to. Buy and use this product and you should see a huge difference quickly! It’s easy to add to the food once a day. Niko is eating his food and the taste doesn’t turn him off. The quality of the ingredients must be good because it is working. When his fur grows back in I’m confident it will be shiny. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I tested this out on my foster kittens as an alternative to another popular product. It helped clear up some pretty severe G.I. issues pretty quickly. I like the Fera product line and this one did not disappoint.

First full jar gone and no improvement in ear itchiness nor solid bowel movements. A second jar arrived, but I’m holding off giving it to my two boxers. We ended up taking them to the vet because of their loose stool. All tests came back negative, do they have no parasites or anything else horrible. The vet asked we do a “reset” with giving them nothing but their kibble for now. No supplements, no food toppers. She gave them a prescription strength probiotic. And medication for their itchy ears and they had two different types of infections going on. She said to continue this postboitic after they have finished their prescriptions. I will update this review once I can restart giving this to them. Hopefully this will keep them balanced after their prescriptions are finished.Update I stopped giving this to my younger two dogs. Instead I decided to give it to my oldest dog a chocolate lab, who is 5 years old, incontinent, anal gland issues and loose stool issues. Basically she’s been messed up since a botched spaying surgery. We’ve spent at least three years getting her diet and supplements perfected. This one seems to work great for her. But didn’t work for my one year old boxers. That’s okay we have their bellies settled now with a different supplement. What works for one dog might not work for the other. This I know from having dogs my entire life. Our chocolate lab was on a very expensive pro/prebiotic that didn’t do a thing for her. Since we had this post biotic I thought let’s try it on her. Well within a week or so she was evacuating her bowels more fully than ever before! Sorry for the TMI but it’s true! And when a dog does this there is far fewer instances of anal gland leakage. If you’ve ever smelled this or had it leak on a blanket or furniture, you know it’s pungent and disgusting! Difficult to clean unless you can put it in the washing machine. So this product is also saving me from frequent emergency cleaning! I increased the review to 4 stars. I must take away a star because it’s a messy product. The scoop is tiny, and bit clumsy to use in such a small jar. Getting my fingers into the jar to the scoop is the messy part. My fingers and under my nails get full of powder trying to get that tiny scoop. That’s a waste of money as I’m losing powder each time. Might I suggest a lower larger/wider mouth jar to easily grab the scoop. Also a scoop with a bit longer handle would be a plus. Listen, this chocolate lab of mine is on several different supplements at each meal so that she doesn’t leak urine, leak at her anal gland or have loose stool. I don’t like when one of the supplements is difficult to get into or causes a mess. If it’s happening to me it must be happening to others. Especially because I do not have large hands. Fix the jar to be lower and wider mouthed and lengthen the handle to the tiny scoop.

I gave my dog the recommended dose based on her size. It does have a very strong smell, & she was hesitant to eat it at first, but with some honey she did eventually eat. A few hours later she threw up all of the food that was in her stomach, & then vomited stomach acid two more times. Needless to say, I will not be giving her any more. I felt extremely bad because I gave her this thinking it would be good for her stomach, & it definitely did the opposite.

I had been using Fera's probiotic blend for a little over a year now and it (seemingly) has benefited my cat, Juniper. She hasn't gotten sick (but she never really had before) while taking the probiotics, and her stomach issues seem to be easier for her to manage. Although it did work well, while reviewing my budget, I decided to try out the postbiotic since it is more inexpensive per oz. and seems to have similar benefits.When I opened the container I quickly noticed a strong cumin like smell coming from it. I didn't think too much about it since the serving size is so small, so I assumed it wouldn't affect her foods taste/smell. I made her food as per usual (warm water, baked kibble, wet cat food, and omega oils), this time using the postbiotic in place of the prebiotic. After mixing everything up and allowing the kibble to soak in the water I realized that the cumin smell was still super strong and completely overpowered the normal fishy smell her food had.At this point I was a little nervous since Juniper tends to be quite picky and bases a lot of what she will or wont eat off of smell alone. My nerves were unfortunately correct and she refused to eat it. I even tried starting off with an even smaller amount, which she did attempt to eat, but after one bite she decided she was done.Feras prebiotics are AMAZING, I 10/10 recommend it. Although, I wouldn't say the same about their postbiotics, especially if you have a pickier pet like mine.-EDIT: Fera reached out to me and offered to fully refund the postbiotics so I will be updating my review to 5⭐️

Definitely helps my Boxer’s digestive system, her stools are perfectly formed. They are no longer soft served

Easy to sprinkle in food, and they are working!

Cats hates the taste of this. They wouldn’t eat it no matter how little I put into their food.

My jack russell had been having tummy problems, diarrhea, skipping meals but this medication has turned it around. A happy dog again and he loves the taste.Was delivered next day

My dog had porridge diarrhea due to colon not absorbing water back effectively partly caused by a bacteria inbalance in the colon and old age. She is a medium size dog (from 31 kg in her prime days and now down to 26 kg as she will be 16 if she makes it this year). After the first course of antibiotics, the diarrhea came back in 7 days. After the 2nd course of antibiotics which stopped the diarrhea two weeks ago I decided to get this postbiotics to see if it can maintain the good bacteria in the colon. She has only been on this postbiotics for one week (two weeks after the 2nd course of antibiotics) and so far so good. It might be too early to judge but I am going to carry on using this postbiotics. Wish me luck :)

Dog likes and doesn't seem to be having as much problems with her digestion.

I'm sure this is a good product but my pittie just had the runs and threw up the few days he was taking it (I even started a low dose)...no other meds or food changes. Once I stopped he was better.Unfortunately you can't return or get your money back, it so it's an expensive gamble to try. I'll look other places to see what can stop his foot licking.

Really good that my cat has this .
