"My pups going through a rough time and like any dog... it's hard to get him to take his meds and he has a lot to take due to his CHF. But these compounded treats are soooo great! He lives them so at least 2 of the 5 meds I have to give him twice a day are a treat in his eyes"
"Regular Order and was given one date and got here about 9 to 10 days later. My little boy depends on this medication, due to CFH and CT. Every time I called, they said it was going to be over night, or...excuses. when to find urgently some for my boy"
