When do I use Endurosyn® Canine Oral Gel versus Lactoquil®?

Endurosyn® is a 3-day probiotic oral gel for short-term use in support of digestive health during times of stress or transition. Pets that suffer from GI upset when boarding, traveling, training, or going to the vet are good candidates for Endurosyn®.
Lactoquil® is a daily probiotic soft chew specially formulated to assist in ongoing  digestive health maintenance for dogs.  If your dog has a history of a sensitive stomach or seems to suffer from on and off again GI upset, talk to your veterinarian to determine if your dog would be a good candidate for Lactoquil®.

Why does Endurosyn® Canine Oral Gel contain several strains of bacteria?

The GI tract has a complex, intermixing array of beneficial bacteria, called the microflora. It is maintained in a careful balance that coats and protects the layers of the intestines. Under certain conditions, gaps or breaks in the microflora appear, creating opportunities for microbial imbalances to occur. This often leads to GI upset and distress. A probiotic with multi-strains of bacteria is able to utilize the strengths of each specific strain to promote proper gut flora balance.
Warnings: Keep out of reach of children. For animal use only.
