Probiotic/digestive enzymes

So I ordered a probiotic/digestive enzyme on the recommendation of a long time raw feeder from Berte's Naturals. Yogi has been incessantly paw licking for the last few days and I couldn't figure out why; nothing raw would have any of his triggers. Low and behold the Berte's natural product has whey. Criminy, I feel like I'm running in circles here and that stuff was really expensive! I'm going to see if I can return it, but does anyone have any suggestions for a product that has worked well for your dogs?

Plain kefir--it contains more probiotics than greek yogurt and is cheaper than the fancy stuff. If your dog is allergic to dairy, it can be made from almond milk or coconut milk. My EM has a "sensitive stomach" so he gets about 3 tablespoons every morning. He loves it.

Paw licking could be a lot of different issues - grass allergy or even an attempt to relieve pain. We use human probiotics after an intestinal upset but not every day.
