Active ingredient on file: Kaolin + Pectin + Enterococcus Faecium. Reported administration routes include Unknown, Oral. These numbers reflect voluntary submissions from pet owners, veterinarians, and manufacturers and therefore under-represent mild events and over-represent severe ones — a pattern the FDA has documented repeatedly for pharmacovigilance datasets.

Within those species, Retriever - Golden (7), Terrier - Yorkshire (6), Domestic Shorthair (6) appear most often — though breed popularity and ownership density shape these counts as much as any drug-specific sensitivity. This distribution matters because the same active ingredient can behave very differently across body sizes, ages, and species physiology.

The most commonly reported clinical signs associated with Kaolin + Pectin + Enterococcus Faecium are Diarrhoea (27), Vomiting (19), Lethargy (see also Central nervous system depression in Neurological) (8), Other abnormal test result NOS (7).

Because FDA adverse event data describes correlation rather than causation, these figures are best used to frame informed questions with a veterinarian and to compare reporting patterns across related products — not as a standalone safety verdict on Kaolin + Pectin + Enterococcus Faecium.
