My 40 lb Labradoodle was diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. The enzymes cause a very sour smell. Has anyone had luck using the probiotic Mercola for the odor?

I honestly don't know the answer to your question, but my cat has inflammatory bowel disease and had very foul smelling gas and BM, the probiotics changed everything. I can actually stand to be in the same room with him now. Best of luck to you and your Labradoodle.

My English bulldog didn't have any type of condition but it's worth a try. Probiotics are good for their digestive system.

Just seeing this post, but my GSD also has EPI. The odor comes from the enzyme powder and I've found that as your dog get used to the enzymes, the foul odor diminishes. I would join the EPI forum to ask your question. I think the probiotics would be generally positive for the gut however.

I'm not sure about the odor, but my experience with Mercola products has been all good.

If the odor is from the feces, the probiotic will help. My cat has diabetes and had watery stools more of a diarrhea from the sugar imbalance. The Mercola probiotic has corrected the bowel imbalance and the cat is doing much better and therefore - so am I. The diabetes is a constant twice a day injection of insulin and will never get better.

NO... These enzymes are excellent. Follow directions, start with no more and no less what it calls for. I started my lab as it was recommended on the bottle. She is 100lbs and I give her a 1 & a 1/4 cups of food in morning and at night. I mix water in and stir good, let it sit for a couple minutes then feed her. I even give to my yellow lab as recommended, excellent for digestion. Just follow the directions. It worked it's magic for my lab with pancreatitis and since giving it to her she has not had a bout with this problem. Of course I have her on a low fat diet, Wellness Core reduced fat no more that 10% fat content is best. GREAT PRODUCT and saved my little girl from flair ups. NO... These enzymes are excellent.

Yes it will help with skin odor. A strong musky odor is a symptom of skin problems. After about 4-6 weeks my Labrador no longer had that awful musky smell.

I had the same issue and I thought it was probably a reaction of the metal tube to the enzymes in the toothpaste, so I did not order beef flavor again. I now only order the vanilla/mint flavor for my puppies, and it keeps their breath fresher than the other flavors anyway.

Because I also read complaints re: odor. I opened up the Krate and left it to air out prior to letting my dog in it. I haven't had any unusual odors, since!

I haven't but know my dog loves it. My shepherd/lab/husky mix got at it one day and ate about a third of the large jar. No effect other than a little loose stool. Now I don't leave it lying around. It works really well.

It would definitely be worth a try . One thing to remember , as the urine enzymes are being removed , they will emit a smell . It may take daus or weeks for all the enzymes to be removed . So don't get too stressed out about that. Depending on how much is in the mattress , it could need another treatment. After it has completely dried , sprinkle with baking soda to help absorb any reaming smell . Good luck , and let me know how it turns out .

My dog has not had this problem, she suffers from a yeast problem and it has helped her to smell better.

We have used with our dogs (twenty lbs. each) with no problems at all, and probiotics seem to really help them, but I would suggest you check with your vet if you still have questions. question.

The pure brand and the 50B were both recommended by my doctor. For those of us who are lactose intolerant, it is the best alternative to yogurt,etc. My only complaint with my order was the probiotic must be refrigerated and special packaging should be used for shipping. In my case the special refrigerated shipping was not used.

I wonder if Natures Miracle would work in the Euroflex. It is all natural enzyme that eliminates the same odors as clean blast.

I've used it for 8 weeks with great success. I don't know about in the long run but I think if you would add more food with probiotics in them that would help.

Interesting thought! I haven't tried that way, because one of the bacteria is acidophlius which may not for the kefirmaking.

I would send it back and ask for a sealed one and in the meantime, if you have any farm supply stores around you or even a pet store, ask them if they carry this product or something similar to purchase until your product is delivered. When I run out I go to an agriculture farm supply store and I purchase a probiotic to give to my cats until I can get a refill of the NaturVet Enzymes in the mail.

Sorry to take so long. I have Kyo-Dophilus probiotic & it is great. The manufacture is Wakunga but their website is listed on the bottle as kyolic.com. Maybe the company changed it's name or merged at some point. I have only been taking it about 7 months. Hope this helps!
