I give a tube of Probios after I de-worm or after antibiotic use and give FORCO daily to my horse, dogs and I take it myself.

Expert Posts: 5293	My horses and DOGS LOVE their forco. I might have to try it myself. lol Probios is a PRO-biotic ( Live bacteria) and Forco is a PRE biotic. Feeds the flora.

Scorpions R Us Posts: 9586 Location: So. Cali.	After Cowboys hospitalization he had loose stool. I tried Smartdigest, made it worse, Tried Forco for just over two months, didn't make it worse but also didnt help it improve. Probios has been the only thing that finally gave him normal stool again.

I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	mscanchaser - 2017-03-29 11:20 AM Can you give Forco with a Vitamin E supplement (at the same feeding)? I do. No problems that I can see.
