Antibiotic use, stress, dietary changes, illness, and aging all disrupt microbiome balance. A targeted, multi-strain probiotic supplement helps re-establish that balance by replenishing beneficial bacterial populations that have been depleted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRx Biotic by Rx Vitamins for Pets is a multi-strain probiotic powder formulated for dogs and cats. It provides diverse beneficial microorganism strains in meaningful colony-forming unit (CFU) counts — delivered in a palatable powder that mixes easily into food. Manufactured to NASC quality standards by a veterinarian-developed company with an established track record in integrative veterinary nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Strain Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diverse probiotic strains colonize different niches along the GI tract — providing broader coverage than single-strain products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeaningful CFU Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a viable colony-forming unit count sufficient to establish colonization rather than simply passing through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrebiotic Inclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Probiotic effectiveness is enhanced by co-administration with prebiotics that provide the substrate for bacterial growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalatable Powder Format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixes easily into wet or dry food for daily administration without resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprinkle onto food once daily.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics can reduce beneficial gut bacteria by 80–90% within 3–5 days — and without supplementation, full microbiome recovery can take months. Starting a multi-strain probiotic within 24 hours of beginning antibiotics (or immediately after completion) significantly shortens the dysbiosis window. Store in the refrigerator after opening: probiotic CFU counts decline measurably at room temperature over weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen is the best time to give this — with food or without?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith food. The buffering effect of food protects probiotic organisms from stomach acid, significantly improving their survival rate into the intestinal tract where they're needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long should I use this?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor post-antibiotic recovery: at least 4–6 weeks. For ongoing maintenance: indefinite daily use is safe and commonly recommended for pets with a history of digestive instability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I give this to a cat who is currently on antibiotics?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — space the probiotic administration at least 2 hours from antibiotic doses to avoid the antibiotic destroying the probiotic organisms before they can establish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes refrigeration matter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Probiotic viability declines faster at room temperature. Refrigerate after opening and use within the period indicated on packaging for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MedVant","offers":[{"title":"35 g","offer_id":46597589270713,"sku":"125847","price":48.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 g","offer_id":46610080301241,"sku":"125848","price":71.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/2592\/7609\/files\/125847_0-XL_1.jpg?v=1771435524","url":"https:\/\/vivopet.ca\/products\/rx-vitamins-rx-biotic-probiotic-powder-dogs-cats","provider":"VivoPet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
