Best Cat Probiotics

[lukey]

Would it be OK if I give Luke or both my cats home made high probiotic yogurt?

I also have human probiotics in capsules.

I think it might be why Luke's breath isn't the best. I don't think he has stomatitis.

I give my cats acidophilus and bifidus from Whole Foods (refrigerated ones) with good results. I checked the ingredients for Proviable DC for Cats to make sure that what I'm giving them are ok for cats, that I'm not introducing some new bacteria inappropriate for cats. 

I open one capsule and mix the powder into their food.

Hi,

I have Ultimate Flora 15b, CP1 60b, and Prescrpt Assist SBO. Also S Boullardii.

 
Do you happen to know which of these might be OK?

I'm not familiar with these, but you can google for probiotics for cats and see what the ingredients are and compare. 

I got this info from Proviable's website. 

Guaranteed Analysis - Proviable-DC

(Bifidobacterium bifidum, Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum)

Thank you. I think I cold get a tsp or so of my 24 hour SCD yogurt in Luke's food. Luke isn't fussy but Cubby sure is.

You might find this other, current thread interesting as gives some detail comparison on content with a couple of different probiotics:
