I am looking for a source for quality probiotics and digestive enzymes. I would prefer to buy in bulk if possible. Anyone have any recommendations?

If you haven't already touched base with the Yahoo! group k9-EPIGLOBAL, it would be worth joining; 14 years ago, the founders of the group were on the very same hunting expedition you're presently on, and they did find a source of good quality digestive enzymes in bulk, along with the other supplements typically needed for EPI and other chronic gastrointestinal disorders in pets. Also check out the website for the non-profit organization Epi4Dogs Foundation, Inc.
Although I've not had an EPI dog of my own, I did foster a few back in the day, and was one of the early members of the Yahoo! group. They're a good bunch of folks, and a lot of dogs that would have otherwise ended up being euthanized or simply dying from their medical conditions were helped when their owners were directed to the group and could access materials to help them get an actual diagnosis for their pets. The Epi4Dogs site also has a forum where information can be shared as well, and the site is chock-full of info about the conditions.
I think you'll find what you're seeking with the help of both groups.

Thank you, Hexe... I will defintely go check them out. I do not have any dogs with EPI, but have found that the dogs just do better in general while on probiotics and digestive enzymes. I have found quality products in small quantities and bulk products that don't work very well. Hoping I can get the best of both worlds.

The Yahoo group says that they require you to have an EPI diagnosed dog to gain membership to the list. Checking out the website now.

Well, I don't think this is what you were thinking of, but please take this as a credible possibility and read up on the advantages...

You can look up this company that can deliver- and I am in no way affiliated with them... greentripe on facebook or greentripe dot com.
Good luck!

K9 power sells supplements. They have one called IMMUNE DOG and another one called DIGEST FORTE. I have used supplements from K9 Power and really like what I have used. I have used the Immune Dog, Show Stopper and Super Fuel.

Try giving your dogs kefir. You can make it yourself if you get a live culture. You can purchase kefir grains online.

I use Probios, which can be purchased in 50 lbs bags. The label says its good for livestock, horses, dogs and exotic pets. I only use it for dogs, but I have a friend that uses it on horses and dogs. It seems good enough to me, espcially at its price point.
