This answer partially depends on what the problem is. However, the most common thing we will recommend for GI health is probiotics (often in conjunction with pre-biotics). Probiotics are the good bacteria in the GI tract that help it stay healthy. There are a number of products on the market. Some are more complete than others. One good product is called Entero TruBenefits. You can find that here. http://www.vrshealth.com/canine-products/?petcoach=1977957 Nutramax makes a good formula called ProViable. And VetriScience makes a nice probiotic formula that is comes in a chewable tablet. I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using PetCoach.

A veterinary probiotic, FortiFlora, ProStora or ProViable, may help. You can get any one of them from your veterinarian or in the local Petco. A teaspoon or two of plain yogurt along with a bland diet may also help.

Hi, thanks for using Petcoach! Poor Nino! I like probiotics formulated for dogs. My favorite is Purina Fortiflora. If the diarrhea doesn't improve in a couple of days on a probiotic I recommend that you take Nino to the Vet. They can start him on an antibiotic to help! https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets/dp/50029?utm_source=google-product

Yes, you can give dogs too many supplements. It is quite possible to overdose a variety of vitamins and minerals. Dogs do not typically need any aids for their digestion. Dogs eating a commercial dog food rarely require any supplements, as these diets are properly balanced with the correct quantities of vitamins and minerals. If Baby Girl is eating a home-cooked diet, I recommend reviewing her current diet with a veterinary nutritionist or following a recipe from www.balanceit.com, which will be able to guide you as to the necessary supplementation. I'm confused as to how Baby Girl and your other dog have been diagnosed with pancreatitis or gastrointestinal issues in the absence of gastrointestinal signs. I would need further information regarding their physical exams, lab tests, and imaging in order to provide an opinion on the situation. Probiotics are not likely necessary in the absence of gastrointestinal signs or antibiotic treatment.

Forti-Flora (made by Purina) is approved for use in pets with food allergies. Although it is beef-flavored, the flavoring is made from a hydrolyzed protein that cannot trigger any allergic response - so this is my usual "go-to" probiotic choice for a pet with allergies like this.
