Why is there salt in this "probiotic"?
Recommended by a veterinarian a few years ago, I've used this "probiotic" many times and it worked well for my dog that had antibiotic induced diarrhea or other GI upset. I decided to order it again to help maintain gut health in my dog that was recently diagnosed with heart disease. I' ve learned to read pet labels due to her health and when I read the ingredient list on this I couldn't believe it. Salt! That is a big NO for dogs with heart disease, especially those that retain fluid and are on medications like lasix. I am finding salt in many dog foods as well, I am sure they get more than enough salt. Why would there be salt in a probiotic? Probably for taste and to make you believe your dog loves it. I want probiotics, not a bunch of junk. From now on I will order only Jarrow Pet Dophilius, which doesn't have all this added garbage for taste.
