InkedMarie: I think I put the reasons why in my original post, but to explain further. 180 million of each species of bacteria is close to nothing, and from what I’ve read, the formula looks curiously random… AND… looks like its not intended for dogs. I’m guessing that they wanted to impress people with a “15 species” formula but could only afford to put a tiny amount of each in. This is why it is $14. You get what you pay for, but really, that’s just my humble critique. Are you using it with good results for your dog?
Somebodysme: some people are in the camp that prebiotics are “bad” and feed bad bacteria. This is due to some hype marketing from a brand of probiotics that do not contain them (though I can’t recall the brand, I just remember reading it). The other camp is that prebiotics are necessary when giving probiotics so that they have something healthy to feed on, because once they are ingested they implant in the intenstines and multiply. Dr. Oz is in the latter camp which believes in prebiotics with probiotics.
