Bottom Line
Given the strong negative feedback regarding taste and the resultant refusal to eat for many pets no question that this product needs a serious recipe overhaul or flavor reformulation if it is to regain any traction in the supplement markets. Alternatively, moving to other products of possibly stronger parental base seems sensible if fulfillment time and taste are words deemed significantly impactful. Vis-a-vis PET PERFECT would be a good competitor reference point or Hip Doggo Dog Multivitamins Dog Soft Chews.
