However, there is no harm in trying whether it will settle your boy's tum.

As far as cats are concerned it does work to open a capsule and sprinkle the contents over food. Maybe it's just the sheer numbers in good quality products. There is even a cat specific powder which can work wonders and although highly expensive I'd always recommend that pet owners start with that and then do the comparison of ingredients with their vet if they wish to move to an alternative. I only use the human product on cats when necessary because I always have it to hand - and because I've already discussed it with my vet.
