Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We rescued a German wire-haired pointer back in July and discovered quickly why he had been rejected by so many families.....he has the WORST gas of any dog you have ever met!! Have you read Walter the Farting Dog?? Well, Griffy surpasses Walter's skills at producing the worst gasser exponentially. Now....couple that with the fact that unbeknownst to us, the GWP has a propensity for coprophagia. Our vet had informed us that the GWP breed is prone to this habit, and it is the main culprit in malodorous flatus propulsus!! Well.....fortunately, we recently came across Forti-flora. I was quite skeptical as nothing had worked since July. But we are now just about 5 days into the treatment, and his gas is GONE!! Wahoo!! Totally and completely!! I am quite skeptical of "supplements" as typically they do not work and cost a lot. So I finally decided to take a look at the ingredients, and as a physician, I now understand why it works. The main ingredient in this product is Entercoccus faecium. This is part of a normal gut flora. Someone might correct me here, but my explanation of why this works is as follows: So dog eats poop. Poop is composed of lots of different bacteria like E. Coli, Entercoccus species, etc. These bacteria then overpopulate the GI tract and take over, replacing the normal bacteria (normal flora) with the stink and diarrhea producing abnormal flora. This is much like the pathophysiology of an antibiotic associated diarrhea like Clostridium difficile. So now you introduce Forti-flora, or Enterococcus faecium, in sufficient quantity that it replaces the bad flora, and voila! you have restored the good GI tract organisms and the stink, diarrhea, and other problems are miraculously (not really) cured! Will be interesting to see how long the results last after a 10 day course. So happy we found this product. It does not cure the dogs bad habits, but can certainly treat him when he gets infected with the bad stuff, which undoubtedly he will again. Just ordered a box and will keep it on hand for exacerbations/outbreaks of foul flatus/diarrhea. I'm sure there are other products out there on the market, but I suspect simple lactobacillus or other naturalistic type items will help much (as they don't really help a lot in people either). I hope I did not offend anyone--if I did, I apologize! Be well!!
