I wish the directions were a bit more clear. It looks like you need to make a slurry with water. A scoop is pictured in amount given but there was no scoop inside the package. I'm wondering if this was an oversight. I plan to use this supplement to replace those that I've been giving to my dogs. It was highly recommended by my breeder, as I have a new puppy.

My golden in the summer gets allergies which was mainly why I tried this. This does seem to be getting better even though I'm still working up to his full dose. An expected improvement is with the summer heat. We normally scale down his walk and or do multiple rests and stay in mostly shade. He had has fur trimmed as usually with not much difference to how well he handles the heat. Since I've started with this we are back to our normal length walks. Yesterday was 80+- which would be a short walk or walking in the water/swimming. I didn't even think about it until after but we did just about our normal walk. Not only that but I stopped him not the other way for water and rests. Which were much much shorter than usual. His digestion seems better as well so far after a week. I'll know better on that when there's more time to see if it's a coincidence or not. Really likes the fish as well.

Have been using the fish food topper for about 3 weeks and his coat is shiny. Less dandruff and it appears to be helping his allergies from flaring up. It does stink like fish, the powder is messy but he almost refuses to eat until I add the topper, water and stir it all up with his food. I just ordered another package.

The packaging needs some work. The resealable closure does not stay closed at all. I finally dumped the contents of the bag into an empty coffee can. Highly suggest to the manufacturer to put the powder in a coffee can style container for ease of use. Also instructions mention a scoop however no scoop was included.

My dogs absolutely go insane for this stuff. So much so that they won't even eat their meals if it's not on it. It is pricy unfortunately but i have happy healthy pups. Their coats are shiny and soft and I'm always getting compliments about how they look. Great product.

We have an 8.5-year-old lab mix who has had three leg surgeries and suffers from chronic arthritis in her back and legs. We also have a 4-year-old basset mix--a breed that is known for developing joint problems as they age, though we haven't experienced that yet. Neither of them suffers from allergies or problematic skin conditions. One of them--the lab mix--is a SUPER picky eater. I decided to try this product 1) as a joint supplement, 2) for gut health (prebiotics, probiotics), 3) as a general supplement to promote overall good health (omegas, etc.), and 4) because I trust this brand. We've been adding it to our basset's food twice a day for the past nine months and to our lab's food for the past three months. First, neither dog has experienced any problems as a result of introducing this product to their diet--i.e.; no vomiting, diarrhea, hives, or other adverse reaction. Second, I do not find the product's odor offensive. Yes, there is an odor; it just doesn't bother me at all, and I was surprised to read complaints about it in these reviews. Third, the taste does not bother my dogs, which is saying a lot. Previously, I have found no product made by any manufacturer and recommended for any reason that my lab would tolerate in her food. We have tried SO MANY supplements and therapeutic treats recommended by our vet, all of which supposedly passed rigorous taste tests, but our girl wouldn't get near them. She won't even eat a treat that is not pure meat. Yet she will allow me to mix a heaping tablespoon of this powder with water in her food twice a day and will snarf it down. In fact, since I started adding this powder to her food, she is eating on her own, instead of making me spoon feed her. That aspect of this product is nothing short of miraculous for us! (My basset mix will eat pretty much anything, so I don't use him as a measure of good taste.) Most importantly, since we started the lab on this supplement a few months ago, we are seeing a noticeable improvement in her mobility. Even though we have moved into the cold months, which are typically quite painful for her, she is limping far less--often not at all--and playing much more and longer with her younger brother. I'm not saying that she's problem or pain free, but she does seem noticeably more comfortable, and, given her history and age, I think that's the best for which we can hope. Otherwise, both dogs are healthy and happy. Our basset had his annual exam six months after he started on this supplement, and his blood-work came back "perfect". Can't ask for better than that! I will continue this powder and will recommend it to others as a healthy, palatable food supplement for lucky dogs.
