Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I don't think cats or dogs need probiotics if they are healthy. I do like them for gastro-intestinal issues. I like Purina Fortiflora, you can find it online. Cats really like it. If you want to use probiotics in a healthy cat it won't hurt them. I hope this helps!

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. It is possible that sweetie has a sensitivity to this particular probiotic. I would recommend using a probiotic such as Purina fortiflora. I have used this product many times and have not seen many cases that vomited from this probiotic. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is absolutely possible. I would stop this supplement to see if that improves. Hopefully, it does. However, if no improvement is noted, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck!

It's fine to give your cat a probiotic without asking your vet. People often given supplements to their pets without consulting their vet. The only concerning ones are vitamins, as too many vitamins can cause toxicity.

Hi there. Any antibiotic will cause some transient changes in gut flora. In some patients, this may cause some symptoms of GI upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. If you're concerned, you can certainly give Bailey a probiotic such as Forti-Flora in his food each day while he's taking the doxycycline - this won't hurt anything, and might help to keep his intestinal bacteria from being disrupted as much.
