Tigger settled down in a sleeping position next to me, and watched his tail moving in slow motion, and I mean SLOW."
"The only thing we found that worked was chaining him outside with nothing but a giant water bowl (so he couldn't tip it or pull it around) and a wooden dog house and even that didn't really work because it would only take 2 or 3 weeks before he worked himself into a stomach infection from stress alone. I gave him a dose before bed and then another about 15 minutes before we left for work the next morning and we left him IN THE HOUSE... I walked around the house looking for anything chewed up or damaged in any way and found NOTHING."
"She was under my bed for the first month, would come out to use the litter box and barely ate. I feel so much better since she isn't constantly hiding under the bed."

"Last Friday my dog had a terrible yeast infection in his ear."
"After day 7 her ears were a healthy pink and she was literally running over to have the Zymox put into her ears... that right there told me it must be working, I had never seen her excited for ear drops! By day 14 her ears were a healthy pink, they no long smelled like "dead fish" (a smell I never thought would go away - from the yeast infections), she was no longer incessantly licking and chewing on her paws - which she was doing because the yeast infection was transferring to them from itching her ears. We have been using this product for over a year now, after the initial 14 days I have only had a to use it about once a month (or less) and then for only a few days at a time - I use it when I notice her ears getting a little red, and use it just until her ears return to normal."
"I had no idea I could buy this anywhere besides a vet office. My poor little boy was scratching his ear and shaking his head and crying a little when he would scratch."
"I've always had good luck with Zymox brands and this Otic fits perfectly in line with their other wonderful products."
"I have had shitzu dogs since 2004... they are very sensitive to ear infections if ears have moisture or not cleaned properly...This past year had been a very trying time for my family with funerals, hospitalizations, etc... so I had neglected my Chacho (dog's name) to say the least."
"My dog is a golden, and she has mites for almost half a year because I let her swim in a dog farm's pool and ignored to clean her ears."

I first noticed them developing and then got him groomed for the first time, it looked like he was bleeding or injured. In the last picture I had used a wash cloth with some warm water and mild puppy shampoo and brushed through the fur around his face with a toothbrush."

A friend recommended this, it had free return, so I figured why not. We give him a treat so he is occupied, but he still licks it, but that hasn’t really mattered I guess because it’s working so well!!!"
"I applied it a few times a day, gently massaging it into my dogs nose - had to keep my thumb between her nose and upper lip so she wouldn't lick it off while I was applying it."
"Finally caved and bought a bigger can after buying the tiny ones twice, and it's totally worth it."
"I'll keep applying it a few times per week. My dog is fascinated by the smell, but of course is not crazy about me putting anything on her nose."
"After last summer her nose was overcome with that crusted skin. I don't typically write reviews but I'm so blown away at this product."

Find Best Price at Amazon"During his exam the Vet that I've been using for all my dogs since I moved here in 1993 complimented my dogs teeth. She said "what do you do to keep his teeth so nice. After we left the exam room and I was about to pay the bill she told the 3 staff members that were present "you should see Buddy's teeth, there is no tarter what so ever " and at that moment Buddy seemed to sense what she was saying and gave a big smile showing off his little pearly whites."
"After a couple years of no brushing, I decided to get back on the good dog dental hygiene train and ordered another tube of Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste. The toothpaste softened and loosened the tartar that was on his back teeth, and I was able to use a tooth scaler to scrap off the tarter. All the results mentioned above were achieved with only one month of using the toothpaste, so I have no doubt that his teeth will in even better condition with a little more brushing. If you do decide to use a scaler, be careful so you don't hurt your dog's gums and do not press too hard as you may damage the enamel on the teeth."
"My little rescue loves it."
"Every night he comes upstairs to "have his teeth brushed" and won't go to bed until this demand is met."

Find Best Price at Amazon"After I received the product and it wouldn't fit, I went to the company's web site and saw a totally different size chart."
"Because our 21 pound miniature schnauzer got a little scrape on his leg that he wouldn't let heal, we had to make the unpopular decision to cone our little guy. We got him a medium comfy cone and it was a perfect fit to protect him from himself and his impassioned licking. He wore the comfy cone for about a month, had no problems sleeping with it on, and very few issues (addressed below) with it. Our dog LOVES sleeping in very human-like poses - on his back, resting in a pillow, passed out in a seated position in front of the TV - so we knew that a hard cone wouldn't work well for him. He could kind of eat and drink with it on (the struggle was very real), but the sleeping and protection made it totally worth it for us and him. Our dog occasionally buries his food and water first with his imagination, which was kind of a hilarious dump truck-like disaster sometimes with the cone. It's definitely possible to eat with the comfy cone on because he did it many times over the course of the month looking like a possessed and hungry funnel, but your mileage may vary. For people, if you broke your arm and got a cast, it'd be tough to ever give a cast 5 stars because you're pretty annoyed the whole time, but if it did the job like it was supposed to and did it well in a sucky situation, that's pretty much a 5 star product. GOOD STUFF. - Easy to put on and take off your dog's head using the velcro."
"We did not use a cone when he had the 1st biopsy a year ago, never saw him so much as look at his incisions & staples, but slowly and surely, he quietly took all of them out. Allow your pet to sniff and explore the Comfy Cone (2) speak calmly to your pet while introducing the Comfy Cone and anytime you secure it (3) secure it while speaking gently and offering verbal praise to your pet (4) if your pet is resistant, offer a 'high value' treat(small pieces cut up, cooked chicken or hot dogs) only after the Comfy Cone is secured, and (4)frequently take time to reach inside the cone to rub your pet's head & offer praise while the Comfy Cone is on."

"We rescued a German wire-haired pointer back in July and discovered quickly why he had been rejected by so many families.....he has the WORST gas of any dog you have ever met!! Our vet had informed us that the GWP breed is prone to this habit, and it is the main culprit in malodorous flatus propulsus!! So now you introduce Forti-flora, or Enterococcus faecium, in sufficient quantity that it replaces the bad flora, and voila! you have restored the good GI tract organisms and the stink, diarrhea, and other problems are miraculously (not really) cured! I'm sure there are other products out there on the market, but I suspect simple lactobacillus or other naturalistic type items will help much (as they don't really help a lot in people either)."
"I bought an alternative type thing to this for cheaper, but will see how it works."
"Yesterday was third day of giving my dogs the probiotics, and I noticed their skin was much less pink this morning. I put it right on top of their wet food, and they don't seem to notice or mind."
"I used to pay the vet $43-51 for each box of this, but it's much more affordable on Amazon and I don't need a prescription."
"After some acute issues cleared up and balance was achieved, we backed off to 1/2 packet per dog each morning on food as a maintenance dose. We went with a widely (and highly) reviewed bulk (i.e., not individ packets) product that was far more reasonably priced. I read the label carefully and did note that the primary microorganism in Fortiflora is not even represented in the alternate brand I chose."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It is extremely rare that I place a "life changing" tag on anything. He was still noticeably lethargic, loved laying in the Texas sun (even with the extra hair), and didn't have much motivation for his usual long walks. The vet recommended glucosamine with MSM as some quick physical tests showed stiffening of his joints and tenderness in his back. The vet cautioned that since glucosamine is a supplement, it isn't regulated (read: no clinical trials required). Again, back to Amazon, I did a lot of research and found Dasuquin with MSM. His desire for walks started to return, he would hang out in the yard, and his confidence improved. He now is the first one in-line for walks, wants to stay out the longest, will play in the yard all day, and is confident in doing so. With increased muscle tone, he was able to be active and flexible and feel good about it. His dog developed tender and sore back legs (common) and began to do less exercise due to discomfort. Most recently, I turned my mom onto it for her 11 year old German Shepherd with similar joint weakness and discomfort. After just 5 days, she is reporting that her dog has shown a big increase in energy and flexibility."
"I originally tried to taper off of his original regimen to see if the Dasuquin would work better just by itself. He definitely seemed to struggle when I withheld the original Glucosamine that I had him on, so I have simply added the Dasuquin to the mix. However, if you are on a budget, or want to supplement more than one dog, you can purchase Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM substantially less than the cost of this product. I purchase Kirkland brand (i.e. COSTCO) "Extra Strength" Glucosamine HCI (1500mg) with the MSM (1500mg) already added to it. As for myself, I find it unlikely that I will purchase a second bottle, as I feel that I had already found a cost effective regimen that gives the same results. I decided instead that I would try adding the Chondroitin to my dogs supplements. I began adding Kirkland's Glucosamine and Chondroitin. It is disappointing that Dasuquin is charging pet owners $85 a bottle, when I was able to purchase a bottle of 220 "Clinical Strength" Glucosamine/Chondroitin tablets at Costco for $19.99. I am not a vet, and cannot recommend dosages, etc., but if you have a vet worth their salt, they should be able to advise you on the appropriate dosage for your dog. Determine how much Glucosamine and Chondroitin they suggest for their breed/weight and shop around (please be aware that more is NOT better and you can actually increase their pain with too high of a dosage!)."
"Now he's waiting for a surgery (arthroscopy), and I started giving him these pills 2/day, just to support his joints. If I knew we'll have these problems - I would have started giving this supplement MUCH earlier, when he was a puppy."
"Well, it may be on paper,but this smaller dog sized tablet was twice as thick as a large dog cosequin."
