[Dailydrool] Pro-Biotics?

[Jean Richardson]

Hi Val,

We have used pro-biotics for several years now.  I have been very happy with 
two from Nature's Farmacy West www.naturesfarmacyWEST.com  We use the 
DogZymes Phyto-Flex/CCM Plus that is for bones and joints and the DogZymes 
Digestive Enhancer for digestion.
We have been extremely happy with these products and the company.  They are 
very helpful and willing to answer questions on the phone or on line.  They 
have a great catalog that explains all their products.

Jean
