The major reason I don't give Yakult more often is the my cats are not
exactly helpful in taking it (I slowly drop it on their tongue)

I do notice shortly after dosage much improvement in cats well being (other
people I know now also do this with same acknowledgement). I do not see the
need for more regular dosing unless I notice the cat having unusual bad
breath.

The advantage of using Yakult is that it is hundreds of millions of *live*
bacteria which will instantly replenish the good bacteria which go to work
ensuring that a cat's digestive system is then working efficiently and
effectively.

Not sure about the dried variety one can buy in capsules (from health shops)
or included in cat food (dried and tinned). ot bothered to try it as the
method I now use is effective

Ah, now that I can understand

I've never heard of Yakult until you posted about it. Maybe it's not
available here in the U.S.?

I try to give my cats yogurt a few times a week. They won't eat much
of it, maybe a teaspoon or so. They only want it when I'm eating it,
of course.

Probably similar product in your supermarket dairy fridge?

In Australia they have alternative brands, Yakult is a Japanese brand and
original.
I would be surprised if the USa do not sell a similar identical product, it
is intended for humans not cats

The small bottles of Yakult in Sydney sell individually for 60 cents.
Yogurt has the same bacteria in it, just not in the concentrations that it
is in a small bottle of Yakult or similar
