Is it safe to give your dog FortiFlora (purina brand) with raw food?

I feed my dog raw food, he got into the garbage and the vet suggested probiotics will help with his upset stomach and I was wondering if I can give this to him on his raw food?Is it safe to give your dog FortiFlora (purina brand) with raw food?
Hmmm,vet recommended it so it might be ok.

BUT,

Personally with the RAW diet being involved I would call Purina before offeing it to the dog.

Could you phone the vet and request a famotadine/pepcid dose until you get verification from Purina.

Your dogs gut needs protection now so get answers or a dose for pepcid

Why the thumbs down? I am a veterinary specialist trying to give you the best and safest advice for your pooch.

I work with a ER/CC vet hospital with intenal medicine specialists who would never of told you to get forti flora prior to Purina deeming it safe.....Is it safe to give your dog FortiFlora (purina brand) with raw food?
You do NOT mix raw with any commercial dog food, for they both digest differently and will cause a major upset !

If your dog got into something and ate what he shouldn't have, it might be a good idea to fast him for at least 24 hours, just giving him clean, cool, water. Usually the stomach and intestinal tract will calm down during that time, if the system is not being stressed und has time to heal.Is it safe to give your dog FortiFlora (purina brand) with raw food?
I give FortiFlora to my poodle with g/d can food from the vet. I would check with the vet about giving him raw food.Is it safe to give your dog FortiFlora (purina brand) with raw food?
Sure you can. And it's excellent stuff. Make sure to give it once a day for at least a week.
