Sporevia provides a clinically studied probiotic strain, Tynagen strengthens the microbiome as a postbiotic, and menhaden fish oil supports overall gut and immune health. Savory chicken flavor. For cats 12 weeks and older.
Benefits
- Three-Way Gut Support: The formula covers prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics in a single daily chew, addressing gut health from three complementary angles.
- Sporevia Probiotic Strain: Sporevia is a clinically studied probiotic strain included to help maintain a healthy gut environment and support digestive balance with consistent daily use.
- Tynagen Postbiotic for Microbiome: Tynagen is a postbiotic that helps strengthen the gut microbiome, working alongside the Sporevia probiotic to support a more resilient and balanced digestive ecosystem.
- Apple Fiber for Bowel Regularity: Apple fiber adds natural fiber that supports normal bowel movements and helps maintain consistent stool quality and regularity in cats of all ages.
- Menhaden Fish Oil for Gut and Immunity: Fish oil from menhaden provides omega-3 fatty acids including EPA and DHA, supporting overall gut health and the immune system.

How to Use
Dosage and Administration Instructions
- Give by weight: Administer one chew per pound of body weight daily; do not exceed the recommended daily amount in any 24-hour period regardless of the cat's size.
- Give daily for best results: Consistent daily use supports steady absorption; some cats take four to six weeks to show full results, while others may respond sooner with regular use.
- Give directly as a treat: The dual-texture format and chicken flavor allow these to be given directly by hand without needing to be hidden in food or broken apart first.
Additional Information
Precautions
- For cats 12 weeks and older only: Do not give to kittens younger than 12 weeks; confirm age before starting supplementation in very young or underweight cats.
- Do not exceed daily dose: Do not give more than the weight-based daily recommended amount; excessive fiber and probiotic intake can cause digestive upset if significantly over-dosed.
- Supplemental feeding only: These are supplement chews for intermittent or supplemental use; they are not a complete and balanced food for any life stage.
Storage Instructions
- Cool and dry location: Keep the bag somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sun exposure and heat to maintain the texture and potency of the active ingredients between uses.
- Seal after each use: Close the bag securely after every session to keep air and moisture out, which can affect the soft creamy center and degrade the probiotic and postbiotic ingredients.
- Keep away from children: Store out of reach of children and other pets; these are cat supplement chews not intended for human use or for other animal species.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between a prebiotic, probiotic, and postbiotic?
Ans: A prebiotic is a fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, chicory root and apple fiber fill this role. A probiotic is a live beneficial bacterial strain that maintains a healthy gut. Sporevia fills this role. A postbiotic is a product of probiotic activity that strengthens the microbiome. Tynagen fills this role.
Q2: What is Sporevia and why is it used?
Ans: Sporevia is a clinically studied probiotic strain made by Kerry Group, included specifically to help maintain a healthy gut environment. It forms spores, which makes it more resistant to heat and manufacturing than most probiotic strains, so it's still active by the time the chew reaches your cat's gut rather than being degraded during production.
Q3: What is Tynagen and what does it do?
Ans: Postbiotics are what probiotic bacteria produce as they work in the gut, compounds that directly support the gut environment, strengthen the gut lining, and help keep the microbiome balanced. Adding Tynagen on top of Sporevia means the formula isn't just introducing live bacteria, it's also delivering the beneficial byproducts that make those bacteria useful in the first place.
Q4: When would a cat benefit most from this supplement?
Ans: Cats going through food transitions, those that experience occasional loose stools or irregularity, indoor cats with less dietary variety, cats on antibiotics, and cats that tend toward digestive sensitivity are the primary cats this supplement is formulated to support. Daily use is recommended for consistent results.
Q5: How long before I see results?
Ans: Some cats respond within a few weeks of daily use. Others may take four to six weeks before full results are visible. Stopping and restarting frequently reduces how effectively the formula can support digestive balance.
Q6: Can this supplement be given to kittens?
Ans: Only kittens 12 weeks of age and older. Do not give to kittens younger than 12 weeks. If the kitten's age is uncertain or they are underweight for their age, consult your veterinarian before starting any supplementation.
Q7: Can this supplement be given alongside other Vet IQ products?
Ans: Multiple Vet IQ supplements can generally be given together, provided they do not duplicate the same active ingredients. If you are giving this alongside the Vet IQ Hairball Relief treats, for example, both contain some overlapping fiber ingredients. Confirm with your veterinarian which combination is appropriate for your specific cat's daily routine and health status.
