Knowledge Centre 3. Compare # Petz Park Probiotic for Cats vs PAW DigestiCare Probiotic for Cats vs DigestiCare Pre + Probiotic Powder In short If your cat gets the odd upset tummy, hairballs or loose stools, both of these are daily powders you stir into food to help settle the gut. They just go about it differently. Petz Park Probiotic for Cats keeps it simple. It shows you exactly what your cat is getting: 1.6 billion live cultures in every scoop of a grain-free formula, for $32.95 AUD. PAW DigestiCare casts a wider net. It blends its bacteria into a fermented wholefood mix with added enzymes. The catch is that it does not say how many live cultures are inside and it contains grains. So if you want a clear, grain-free probiotic at a lower upfront price, Petz Park is the easy choice. If you would rather a broader wholefood blend and grains are not an issue for your cat, PAW is worth a look. ## At a glance Probiotic for Cats PAW Who it is for Cats Dogs and cats What it is A daily probiotic powder for food A daily wholefood probiotic powder for food Live cultures inside 3 live cultures, plus immune support 2 live cultures The approach A focused probiotic A broader wholefood blend with added enzymes Live cultures per scoop 1.6 billion, stated on the pack Not stated Grain-free Yes, also lactose-free No, the base has grains Price $32.95 AUD for 60 scoops $48.95 AUD for 143g Cost per day for a cat About $0.55 to $1.10, or $0.49 to $0.99 on subscription About $1.03, or $0.82 on subscription Subscription Yes, 10% off Yes, 20% off Made in Australia Australia and New Zealand Customer reviews 4.9 from 414 reviews 17 reviews Money-back guarantee Yes, 40 days Not stated ## How they differ Here is the simplest way to think about it. Petz Park takes a focused approach; each scoop contains three live cultures, good bacteria and yeast that keep a cat's gut in balance. Two are friendly bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans. The third is a probiotic yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii, known for settling digestion. Petz Park adds some beta-glucan, a natural fibre that supports the immune system. It also includes two prebiotic fibres, inulin and green banana, which feed the good bacteria. Every scoop is wrapped in a fine protective coating called micro-encapsulation. This helps the cultures survive the stomach and reach the gut, where they can work. The whole formula is grain-free and lactose-free, which is gentler on a sensitive tummy. PAW DigestiCare takes a different approach. It uses two hardy strains of bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis. These are combined with a fermented wholefood blend of grains, seeds and greens. The mix also includes digestive enzymes and resistant starch, a gentle fibre that feeds the gut. It is a fuller recipe. The trade-off is that PAW does not disclose how many live cultures are in each serving. Its wholefood base includes grains like wheat and oats, so it is not suitable for a grain-sensitive cat. So the real difference comes down to focus against breadth. Petz Park gives you a clear, grain-free probiotic and shows you the numbers. PAW gives you a broader wholefood blend but keeps its numbers to itself. Neither is wrong. It comes down to which one suits your cat. ## Why choose Petz Park ### You know exactly what your cat is getting Petz Park puts the number on the pack: 1.6 billion live cultures in every scoop. PAW does not share its count, so with Petz Park, there is no guessing. ### Kinder to a sensitive tummy It is grain-free and lactose-free, which matters if your cat reacts to them. PAW's wholefood base contains grains like wheat and oats. ### Dosed for cats, not dogs The serving is determined by your cat's weight: one scoop per day for cats up to 4 kilos. PAW uses a single dosing chart for both dogs and cats. ### Good value, especially for smaller cats It has a lower pack price: $32.95 AUD for 60 scoops. For cats up to about four kilos, it costs less per day than PAW. A 10% subscription reduces the price further. It also has a 4.9 rating from 414 reviews. ### A focused, gut-friendly blend Three live cultures, including a probiotic yeast that settles in the digestive system, plus fibres that feed them and a coating that helps them survive the stomach. ## When Petz Park is the better choice ### Your cat needs steady, everyday gut support It is a daily probiotic with a clear live culture count, so you know exactly what you are giving day in and day out. ### You need to steer clear of grains It is grain-free and lactose-free, whereas PAW's wholefood base contains grains. ### You want it simple and your cat eats well A scoop on the food bowl, measured by your cat's weight. No fuss. ### Value matters, especially for a smaller cat It has a lower pack price of $32.95 AUD, with an additional 10% off on a 10% subscription. For cats up to about 4 kilos, it costs less per day than PAW and has a 4.9 rating from 414 reviews. ## When PAW is the better choice To be fair to PAW, there are good reasons you might lean its way. If you like the idea of more than just probiotics in the tub, PAW delivers. Alongside its bacteria, it includes digestive enzymes and a fermented wholefood blend, so it does a little more than a straight probiotic. If it matters to you that a product is vet-developed and comes from an established brand, PAW fits that bill. If you are happy to set up a regular subscription, PAW's is the deeper saving at 20%. That brings it to around $39.16 AUD and makes it a little cheaper per day for a larger cat. It is a good product. However, there are two things worth keeping in mind: it does not say how many live cultures are in each serving and its wholefood base also includes grains, so it is not the right choice for a grain-sensitive cat. ## A closer look at each ### Probiotic for Cats #### What is in every scoop Bacillus subtilis A friendly bacterium, chosen because it is hardy and survives well on the way down. Bacillus coagulans Another friendly bacterium that helps keep the gut in balance. Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii A probiotic yeast well known for helping settle digestion. Beta glucans A natural fibre that gives the immune system a gentle nudge. Calcium A small amount listed on the label alongside the cultures and fibres. Inulin A prebiotic fibre which is simply food for the good bacteria. Green banana fibre A second prebiotic fibre to help the cultures thrive. #### How it is made 1.6 billion live cultures per scoop Wrapped in a fine coating so they survive the stomach and activate in the gut. Grain-free and lactose-free. ### PAW #### What is in it Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis Two hardy strains of good bacteria. Resistant starch A gentle fibre that helps feed the gut. Digestive enzymes Part of PAW's fuller recipe, to help digestion along. Fermented wholefood base A mix of grains, seeds and greens. It includes wheat, oats, barley and rye, so it is not grain-free. Live culture count PAW does not state how many live cultures are in each serve. ## Cost comparison Here is what each costs, in Australian dollars as at June 2026. The tubs are different sizes and the cats are dosed differently. The fairest way to compare is the cost per day for a typical cat, not a flat price per gram. Here is the pack price first, then the daily cost worked out by your cat's weight. Pack Probiotic for Cats PAW Starter tub $32.95 AUD for 60 scoops $48.95 AUD for 143g Bigger tub $58.95 for 120 scoops No larger size listed On subscription Around $29.66, 10% off Around $39.16, 20% off Cost per day, cat up to 4kg About $0.55, or $0.49 on subscription About $1.03, or $0.82 on subscription Cost per day, cat over 4kg About $1.10, or $0.99 on subscription About $1.03, or $0.82 on subscription How this nets out depends on your cat's size. For a cat up to 4 kilos, a 60-scoop tub lasts about 8 weeks at 1 scoop a day. That is roughly $16 to $17 a month at full price or about $15 on subscription. Either way, it is cheaper than PAW. For a cat over four kilos, Petz Park steps up to two scoops, so a tub lasts about four weeks. That is roughly $33 a month or about $30 on subscription. At that size, PAW is a little cheaper and its 20% subscription stretches the gap. PAW's own tub lasts a cat about seven weeks, so about $31 a month at full price or about $25 on subscription. Over a year, Petz Park is the lighter cost for smaller cats. For larger cats, PAW is a little cheaper, so the choice there comes down to formula and convenience as much as price. Both brands let you subscribe if you would rather it just arrive on a schedule. Petz Park saves 10% that way, PAW 20%. A larger cat gets through a tub faster, since the dose increases with weight. PAW's chart is shared with dogs, so go by your cat's weight when you read it. ## Which should you choose Situation Better choice Why You want to know exactly how many live cultures your cat is getting Petz Park Probiotic for Cats It states 1.6 billion per scoop on the pack. PAW does not give a number. Your cat reacts to grains Petz Park Probiotic for Cats It is grain-free. PAW's wholefood base contains grains. You like the idea of a fuller wholefood blend with enzymes PAW DigestiCare PAW adds a fermented wholefood base, resistant starch and enzymes that Petz Park does not. You have a larger cat and want the lowest daily cost PAW DigestiCare For a larger cat PAW is a little cheaper per day, about $1.03 against $1.10 at full price. Its 20% subscription widens that to $0.82 against Petz Park's $0.99. You trust a vet-developed brand PAW DigestiCare PAW is developed by vets and backed by an established animal health brand. You have a smaller cat and want the lowest daily cost Petz Park Probiotic for Cats It has the lower pack price and costs about $0.55 AUD a day for a cat up to four kilos ($0.49 on subscription), against PAW's $1.03. It also has 414 reviews behind it. ## What owners say Cat owners have been generous with their feedback on the Petz Park probiotic. It has a 4.9/5 rating from 414 reviews on its product page as of June 2026. The large majority left five stars. The comments that come up again and again are the ones you would hope for: less vomiting, firmer stools and fewer hairballs. Owners also say that even fussy cats will happily eat it once it is mixed into their food. PAW DigestiCare has far fewer reviews to go on, just 17 on its product page. That is much less customer feedback to weigh up, though it does carry the trust of a well-known brand. Every cat is different, so what helps one quickly may take a little longer for another. ## The evidence It helps to understand what is going on inside the tub, without the science getting in the way. Here is the honest part: neither of these is a medicine. They are daily supplements meant to support a healthy gut. Neither replaces a trip to the vet if your cat is unwell. Petz Park works by topping your cat up with live cultures. The amount is measured in something called CFU, short for colony-forming units. That is simply a count of how many live cultures are in each scoop. Petz Park states 1.6 billion, which is why that number sits on the front of the pack. Those cultures are wrapped in a protective coating, so they survive the journey through the stomach and reach the gut in able to do their job. PAW takes a broader view. It leans on whole foods and enzymes to support digestion alongside its bacteria. The idea is that the gut does well when it is fed a fuller, more varied mix. Both are sensible ways to go about it. We will not claim one is sure to work better than the other because that depends on your cat. What we can do is lay out what is in each so you can choose the approach that feels right for you. ## Not suited for A few honest words on where Petz Park might not be the right choice for you. It is a supplement, not a medicine. If your cat is unwell, it needs a vet, not a powder. Being a focused probiotic is its strength but it means it omits the enzymes and the wholefood blend that PAW includes. So if that fuller recipe is what you are after, PAW is the better fit. If you have a very fussy eater, ease into it. Start with half a scoop and build up over a few days so your cat gets used to the taste. The formula is made in Australia and is grain-free and lactose-free, which suits most sensitive tummies. ## Final verdict For most cats, Petz Park Probiotic for Cats is the one we would choose. It is made for cats rather than shared with dogs. It shows its live culture count, 1.6 billion a scoop, where PAW publishes none. It is grain-free and lactose-free. It also costs less to run, about $0.55 AUD a day for a small cat (about $0.49 on subscription) against PAW's $1.03. PAW DigestiCare is still a good product. It is the better pick if you want digestive enzymes and a fermented wholefood blend in the one tub. It also suits a home with both a dog and a cat, or anyone who would rather buy a long-established vet brand in store. For a clear grain-free probiotic at a lower daily cost, Petz Park is the stronger buy. ## Common questions Can I give either one to my cat? Yes. Petz Park is made just for cats and dosed by their weight. PAW is made for both dogs and cats and shares one dosing chart, so you go by your cat's weight. What is the real difference between them? Petz Park is a focused probiotic that claims 1.6 billion live cultures per scoop and is grain-free. PAW is a fuller wholefood blend with added enzymes but it does not state its live culture count and it contains grains. I keep seeing CFU. What does it mean? CFU stands for colony-forming units. In plain terms, it is a count of how many live cultures are in each scoop. Petz Park states 1.6 billion. PAW does not publish a figure. Is either one grain-free? Petz Park is grain-free and lactose-free. PAW's wholefood base contains grains such as wheat and oats, so it is not grain-free. Can I set up a subscription? Yes, both do. Petz Park gives a 10% saving and lets you choose your delivery frequency and cancel at any time. PAW publishes a 20% discount, bringing it to around $39.16 AUD. Which one is better value? It depends on your cat's size. Petz Park has the lower pack price, $32.95 AUD against $48.95 AUD. For a cat up to about 4 kilos, it also costs less per day, around $0.55 compared to PAW's $1.03. For a larger cat, PAW is a little cheaper per day and its 20% subscription stretches the lead over Petz Park's 10%. So Petz Park is the better value for smaller cats and PAW for larger ones. Are these medicines? No, both are daily supplements rather than medicines. If your cat is unwell, see your vet. As with anything, results vary from one cat to the next. ## How we compared A quick word on how we put this together because being fair to both products matters to us. This is Petz Park's own comparison, so we have worked to give you a straight read on each one. Every figure here comes from each brand's own product page, checked on 23 June 2026. We used Petz Park's page at petzpark.com.au and PAW's at pureanimalwellbeing.com. Review counts change over time, so we have dated them and used each product's own page rather than any wider brand total. Where a brand does not publish something, we say so plainly rather than guess. That is why we are upfront about PAW not sharing its live culture count. One practical note on dosing: PAW sets a single chart for dogs and cats by weight. For a typical cat, the serving amounts to about half of a 6g scoop per day. On price, we compare the cost per day for a typical cat, not a flat price per gram. The two are dosed differently, so a per-gram figure would not reflect what you really pay. Each brand's subscription savings are their published rates: 10% for Petz Park and 20% for PAW. All prices are in Australian dollars. ## Related - [Petz Park Knowledge Centre](https://knowledge.petzpark.com.au/) - [Petz Park Cat Health Supplements](https://knowledge.petzpark.com.au/cats) - [Probiotic for Cats product page](https://petzpark.com.au/products/probiotics-for-cats?utm_source=knowledgecentre&utm_medium=comparison&utm_campaign=probiotic_for_cats_vs_paw_digesticare&utm_content=text_link) Last reviewed: 23 June 2026 [More cat comparisons](/cats/comparisons)· [All Petz Park comparisons](/comparisons)· [Cat health hub](/cats) ![Petz Park](/images/petz-park-logo.png) Australian-made pet supplements for dogs and cats. ### Explore - [Home](/) - [Dogs](/dogs) - [Cats](/cats) - [Products](/products) - [Ingredients](/ingredients) - [Comparisons](/comparisons) - [FAQs](/faqs) - [About](/about) - [Trust & Proof](/trust) ### Dog Health - [Joint Health for Dogs](/dogs/joint-health) - [General Health and Vitality for Dogs](/dogs/general-health-vitality) - [Urinary and Kidney Health in Dogs](/dogs/urinary-kidney-health) - [Probiotics for Dogs](/dogs/probiotics) - [Liver Health for Dogs](/dogs/liver-health) - [Skin, Coat and Allergies in Dogs](/dogs/skin-coat-allergies) - [Brain and Cognitive Health in Dogs](/dogs/brain-cognitive-health) - [Anxiety and Stress in Dogs](/dogs/anxiety) - [Eye Health for Dogs](/dogs/eye-health) - [Dental Health for Dogs](/dogs/dental-health) - [Senior Dog Health](/dogs/senior-dog-health) - [Immune and Seasonal Health for Dogs](/dogs/immune-seasonal-health) ### Cat Health - [Joint Health for Cats](/cats/joint-health) - [Anxiety and Stress in Cats](/cats/anxiety) - [Dental Health for Cats](/cats/dental-health) - [Liver Health for Cats](/cats/liver-health) - [Skin, Coat and Allergies in Cats](/cats/skin-coat-allergies) - [General Health and Vitality for Cats](/cats/general-health-vitality) - [Urinary and Kidney Health in Cats](/cats/urinary-kidney-health) - [Eye Health for Cats](/cats/eye-health) - [Probiotics for Cats](/cats/probiotics) ### Contact - [petzpark.com.au](https://petzpark.com.au/?utm_source=knowledgecentre&utm_medium=comparison&utm_campaign=probiotic_for_cats_vs_paw_digesticare&utm_content=navigation) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/petzpark "Instagram")[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/petzpark "Facebook")[TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@petzpark "TikTok") © 2026 Petz Park.
