Visbiome Vet's Advanced GI Care Packets use the same eight-strain blend as the capsule version of this product — Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, and Bifidobacterium infantis, each with a DSM/SD strain code — at a higher potency per unit: "225 Billion CFU per packet." As with the capsule version, the label states this count holds "through the 'Best if used by' date" when the product is kept refrigerated. The packets include inulin (chicory root fiber) as a prebiotic, which the capsule version of this product doesn't list. Storage is the same cold-chain requirement: 36-46°F (2-8°C), not frozen, with up to a week of room-temperature tolerance.
Label claims match the capsule version — help "reducing occasional loose stools," support for "the protective layers of the bowel" and gut flora, and help "maintain normal kidney function." No Amazon listing was found for this item. The 30-packet box is dosed by weight: up to 1 packet daily under 20 lbs, 1-2 packets for 20-60 lbs, and 2 packets for dogs and cats over 60 lbs. At 225 billion CFU per packet, this is a high-potency, powder-format product that needs consistent refrigeration, which makes it a better fit for an owner following a vet's specific plan than someone looking for a grab-and-go chew.
Transcribed from the guaranteed analysis. "Species only" means this label prints no numbered strain, so study results for a named strain don't transfer.
Less than 20 lbs: up to 1 packet daily. 20-60 lbs: 1-2 packets daily. Larger than 60 lbs: 2 packets daily.
Yes, 36-46°F, not frozen; the label allows up to one week at room temperature without losing potency.
Yes — per the label, the 225 billion CFU per packet figure is guaranteed through the "Best if used by" date as long as it's refrigerated.
Inulin, sourced from chicory root fiber.
Both use the same eight strains and the same expiry-guaranteed CFU program, per each product's own label, but the packet delivers 225 billion CFU per unit versus 112.5 billion CFU per capsule, and only the packets list a prebiotic (inulin).
The fact-pack lists no Amazon listing for this product.
