Highlighted Reviews
"Finally, a treat he will eat without making a fuss about it. He has only been taking them for 2 weeks but I think they are starting to make a difference. He isn't chewing on his hot spot quite as much. We are hoping with time, the bites will help more."
"After testing this supplement, the dog started itching more. Got my return from chewy and off to the shelter this went! Hopefully they had more luck with it than we did!"
