Nutramax Proviable-Forte Kit for Dogs

The Proviable-Forte Kit for dogs combines two forms in one package: a paste syringe and ten capsules. The label gives separate CFU counts for each — "Total Bacteria min....0.5 billion CFUs per gram" for the paste, and "Total Bacteria min....10 billion CFUs per capsule" for the capsules — both built around the same seven strains used across the Proviable line (Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum). The fact-pack doesn't say whether either number is guaranteed through expiration or only at manufacture. The paste includes fructooligosaccharide as a prebiotic along with kaolin and pectin as additional active ingredients; the capsules carry no listed prebiotic. Both components are shelf-stable, stored at room temperature below 77°F, out of direct sunlight.

The label states this kit is "Available Exclusively From Veterinarians," and no Amazon listing was found for it. Dosing is more involved than a single daily tablet: the paste is given 2-3 times a day for 48-72 hours, in a dose that scales by the dog's weight (1-2 mL for dogs under 20 lbs up to 5 mL for dogs over 50 lbs), and then the ten included capsules are given one per day until finished. That makes it a short-course product aimed at acute digestive upset rather than a long-term daily supplement, and one you'd need to get through a vet rather than order online.
