"The Omega 3s in these supplements have helped my 13-year-old schnauzer feel great again. He went from needing prescription pain killers to simply enjoying these every day and is back to playing and jumping up on the couch."

— Jessica

"My Chihuahua has some GI issues so I have to be careful what I feed her. She loves these but every time I give her one, she throws up the next morning. I took her back down to a basic menu and didn't give her any for a few days and she was fine. Yesterday I tried one more time and she's sick again. "

Bottom Line

If your dog doesn't have sensitive digestion, these chews are a good supplement for skin and joint health. However, monitor your pet closely after giving them for the first time.
