★★★★★
My Staffy was on daily chronic medication for skin allergies. Since using this good his skin allergies have almost completely cleared up. I barely have to give him any medication at all now.
★★★★★
Seems to be highly palatable, and does what it says on the tin.
★★★★☆
My dog has sebhoreic dermatitis and so is itchy and smelly Found this product on Zooplus and thought it worth a try as nothing I have done before seems to help Even a few days in the smell has gone and itching much reduced so have to say this is worth the extra cost
