**** Pro-Kolin: Same great product, new designs: They have recently re-branded, it’s the same great product just with a fresh new look ****
Pro-Kolin replaces Pro-Kolin+. The formulation remains the same. Also see Pro-Kolin Advanced.
Portexin Pro-Kolin contains both probiotics and prebiotics needed to support digestive health in cats and dogs. For pets that experience bouts of stomach upset and loose stools, Pro-Kolin helps soothe the gut lining and firm up faeces. Containing natural 'good' bacteria, Pro-Kolin helps achieve a healthy digestive balance that alleviates discomfort.
Pro-Kolin
Probiotic paste for digestive support
Pro-Kolin contains:
Probiotics
A natural ‘friendly’ bacterium, Enterococcus faecium, which helps to keep the level of beneficial bacteria high and exclude pathogenic species.
Preplex prebiotics
A prebiotic, consisting of fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and acacia (Gum arabic), which helps to feed and stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Kaolin
A natural binding agent which helps to firm up the faeces.
Pectin
To help soothe the gut lining.
Artificial beef flavoring
To improve palatability and compliance.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Protexin Pro-Kolin, including answers from our team.
Pauline
My 3 border collies weigh 15 kg each. I give them 3 ml of Pro Kaolin Advanced instead of the 6 ml as stated on the box as this is for heavier dogs. This is only available for heavier dogs but as it was an advanced formula, I thought it may be better to treat my collies hence just using half the dose. It works brilliantly but is this ok?
If your dogs weigh between 5kg and 15kg then it is advised to give 3ml of the Pro Kolin Advanced twice daily. If 15kg to 30kg then 5ml twice daily is recommended.
Yvonne
My dog has diabetes is this safe to give her, she sometimes has runny poos. The vet has just prescribed a similar probiotic product, but I do not want it to interfere with her glucose levels
If given at the same time as your dog's normal meals then this should not have a significant impact on the diabetes. Any addition to the diet can change your dog's insulin requirements, but you should only be giving this supplement occasionally and not in the long term so this is unlikely to cause a significant impact. If your vet has advised the use of a probiotic like this then it should be safe for use.
Claire
Hi is this suitable to give to pregnant dogs?
Yes. Pro-Kolin can be given to pregnant and lactating animals.
Julia
How many continuous days can you use the product for please?
The dosing guidelines for this product states 'Give by mouth for as long as considered necessary or as advised by your veterinary surgeon.'. You should not need the paste for more than 5 to 7 days to clear the most common causes of intestinal upset, if needed for longer then you should contact your vet to see if there is an underlying cause that needs treating.

How much per day should you give a 4 motnth old puppy ?

| Weight of pet | Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| <5kg | 2ml | Twice daily |
| 5-15kg | 3ml | Twice daily |
| 15-30kg | 5ml | Twice daily |
| >30kg | 7ml | Twice daily |

Can you give Pro-Kolin to a dog with Cushings disease that takes 20mg of vetoryl per day?
Yes Protexin Pro-Kolin is safe to use alongside Vetoryl.
Lorraine McCorkell
My 12 year old lab has arthritis and is on anti-inflammatory drugs called rimadyl. As a result of these tablets he gets diarreah quite often and also gets very gassy, which makes him sick. Every so often I have to take him off the rimadyl for a couple of weeks to help his tummy get back to normal. I give him pro kolin paste when he gets diarreah but I see you sell a different kind for long term use. Do you think this would be better for him?
Protexin Prokolin Enterogenic is recommended for long term use and would be helpful in your dog. If you do find that your dog still has occasional episodes of diarrhoea it is ok to use Protexin Pro-Kolin+ for a short time before switching back to enterogenic.
Winsorb
May i know the expiry date of 30ml and 60ml prokolin?
This varies from time to time, depending on the stock we have in the building. It is generally a long time; current stocks are all dated in 2018. If you place an order you can leave a note for our staff requesting a date of say, more than 12 months. We will be able to do this, or contact you with what is possible.
Todd
What does pro kolin do to help cure ginivitas
I would not expect this product to have any direct effect on gingivitis. It should help the digestive process and sometime symptoms which people are aware of and attribute to gingivitis, are in fact related to problems further down in the digestive tract. It is difficult to comment about any particular case without knowing all the details, but I doubt if this alone could cure gingivitis.
Laure
Can this be giving to nursing puppies and if so from what age can it be given?
It can be given as soon as they are on solid food, even if they are suckling as well, though you must take into account their small size when deciding on the amount to give.
