I am a nurse and raise German Shepherds and have come to understand and produce Kefir that I use for myself and my dogs (and puppies) daily. The article was great, but after seeing many videos on working with Kefir I found the one in the article to be the worst possible choice for encouraging and helping people understand Kefir. I can not fathom why you chose this one.

I would save the Fortiflora for loose stools or food changes, unless it is getting ready to expire. I think that is its best use. If you are wanting to boost immunity, then look at the Vetriscience or into the Kefir. You can take the kefir too and put it into smoothies!

I didn't get how to get the kefir to strain in the first place. Is it just milk? What kind of milk? I guess I will just buy the kefir...
