Skin and Coat Supplement for Dogs and Cats. Fish Oil Omega 3, Vitamins

I normally don't write reviews unless a product exceeds my expectations, and this supplement does. My poor dog was shedding like crazy. I've had my share of dogs over the years, and none shedded like she does. Since she is mostly white, "with some chocolate areas on her body" you could actually see the pink pigment of her skin. I was told my Staffordshire-Terrier/Labrador mix has alopecia, a disorder in dogs which causes it to have partial or complete hair loss. I was also told there was not much that could be done, as it is similar to male patterned baldness. I tried dog foods for healthy hair and coats, and she broke out in hives. So I put her back on Science Diet. The food she has been eating since she was a puppy, and when I adopted her at six months of age. I decided it wouldn't hurt to give Makondo Pets Skin and Coat Daily Supplement a try. First let me tell you while my dog like the smell, she does not like the taste. I break the tablet into four pieces and have her swallow it. Hiding it in treats, or grinding it and adding it to her food wouldn't work. She refused to eat it. So I taught my dog if she takes her pill, she will immediately get her favorite treat Canine Carry Outs. At first this didn't seem to be doing anything, "but since it had 60 tablets in a bottle" I figured I might as well finish off the rest of the tablets. It was almost a month and a half later that I noticed I wasn't being covered in dog hair every day, and I was forgetting to brush her with the Furminator brush I bought. When I vacuumed I could see there was virtually no dog hair in the carpets, and I could actually run my hand down my dogs back without winding up with a hand full of hair. This stuff really works, even if it my dog doesn't like the taste. I was afraid this summer I would have to limit her outside time, for fear of her getting sunburn. Now that worry is gone, and we can enjoy the warm weather when it finally decides to arrive in the midwest. So if you do try this supplement, don't give up too soon. Give your dog one tablet every day, for the entire two months supply you receive. Yes, $20.00 might seem expensive, but that's for a "two months" supply. I believe my dog's health is worth $10.00 a month. Also, since I buy Science Diet Dog Food on Amazon, "because it's cheaper than anywhere else I can find it" and they raised their minimum free shipping rate, I can still get free shipping. I just order her food and supplement one month, "then skip a month" and order her food and two bags of her favorite treats the next month. Perfect! Update: I just ordered my third bottle of these tablets this morning. 04/15/2016

I have purchased my many bottles. I have a German Shepard and since giving her this supplement I can see a big change in her appearance. If you furry friend doesn't like the taste just dab a little bit of peanut butter on it. She looks forward each morning to her supplement. She takes hers when I take my vitamins every day. I bought this to help my dog with heavy shedding and she doesn't shed as much. She loves the bacon flavor. Made in the USA. I only wish they were a little bigger because she chews them up instead of swallowing. Great product and Makondo Pets are great, they send you info that is very informative and welcome. Skin and Coat Supplement for Dogs and Cats - Fish Oil for Dogs Fatty Acids, Vitamins, Amino Acids, Minerals & Omega 3 for dogs -Relieve Dog Dry Skin Itchy Dog Hot Spots & Shedding -60 Nutritional Tabs Item was as pictured and described. Delivered as promised. Great seller.When we went for our yearly checkup the vet kept saying how great her coat looked and how healthy she was. I recommend this product if you are looking for a reasonably priced supplement that truly works. Update: Since she doesn't like pills I started putting a little peanut butter on them and they are swallowed fast, works great with meds too.

I waited for a month of using this product before writing a review as it takes about a month to see any results. I couldn’t be more impressed. My working German Shepherd was constantly itching to the point of making herself bleed behind her ears. My vet gave her a steroid shot to try stop the cycle but she started itching again after only a few days. I had switched to a premium food (which I wouldn’t feed anything else) but this particular formula was gluten free. Gluten is a problem for a lot of dogs so as soon as I noticed the itching I stopped feeding gluten as that has stopped the itching on other dogs. But several years ago, I had an adult Shepherd that was being given allergy shots but he had such dry skin it would bleed just by cracking. My vet sold a vitamin B supplement then and just adding that stopped the itching and ended the need for allergy shots. Thank goodness for Amazon and all the products they carry so I could research the choices and this is the one I chose and will continue to use as long as she doesn’t start itching again but no sign of going back to that. No problems getting her to eat it at all. Her coat wasn’t in bad shape before but after a month of this it is noticeably thicker and longer and her skin is soft with no itching. Skin conditions can be very hard to diagnose so sometimes it takes multiple tries of different things. I am so relieved that this was her cure. Thank you to the company that makes such an excellent product. Don’t change anything!

The first few days was a huge hassle trying to get my pit bull to eat these. She would not even try them, so I had to hide them in food. Then I started giving them to her first thing in the morning before breakfast and eventually she would come running for them. Her skin was irritated and she was scratching all of the hair off of her lower back due to stress and I've had these only 2 weeks and she is completely healed. No missing hair spots no scratching and she is running for these every morning. I will say the flavor could be a little better as I've seen a lot of people who's dogs won't eat them.

first of all, the dog i have is a rescue, she had some of worst mange i have ever seen. Ivermectin was the best stuff to give her and it cleared it, she went from having about 10% of her hair to about 95%, so i thought by giving her these skin and coat vitamins it would give her a full 100%, but i already gave her the whole bottle once a day to no noticible difference. My dog also did not like them, i had to mix it and hide it in her food, till she would then just spit it out, so i dipped it in wet food, still she would spit it out every other day, till i began to force feed it and made sure she swollowed it. I also give her Bully MAX and she eats that right up no problem, but she smells the skin and coat vitamin and she knows not to eat it. So i dont want to say it doesnt work, but theres wasnt any diffrence in my dog, but again my dog has a mange problem, and possibly some sort of allergy that i will soon find out at the vet.

Four months ago we adopted our pit mix. She had many bald spots with some rash patches and constant scratching. We tried Nutro skin and coat dog food first but after the first month of no change, decided we needed more. We tried another chewable supplement but it was difficult to get her to take it and we were not seeing any results. I switched to this because I saw a lot of comments from people that their dogs were enjoying them like a treat. My dog will not eat them like a treat. I have to crumble them and put them in something (I use peanut butter). Despite the fact that she won't eat them without some "sugar coating", the results have been amazing. Her coat is beautiful and she has no abnormal scratching any more. I did take this product to my vet on one of our dogs follow ups and she said that nothing she would prescribe would be any better. It did take about a month to see her coat completely change and about 6 weeks before her coat looked thick and shiny.

Discovered this product almost 2 years ago and we LOVE IT. My American Eskimo (now 9yrs old) never had that beautiful long hair like eskies are known for and it always saddened me. Due to her stiff coarse like hair, dry skin, and EXTREME shedding we always groomed her to be short haired, not long and pretty like I wished for her. Since she started gobbling these I am happy to announce she gets compliments like CRAZY and people try to do a quick pet in public and end up stooping low to keep petting her soft long hair! I'll admit I strayed away a couple times to try other skin supplements at cheaper costs, just because I thought any skin supplement would be better than none-WRONG. A month after switching each time my eskie would be getting hot spots, and constantly itching/shedding. One time I forgot to reorder and had to wait 3 weeks to get my replenishment and she was like a walking snow globe!?!?! She was flaking severely, like I almost took her into the vet. Although right at the start of that week she visited the groomers and maybe it had to do with the a new shampoo treatment they used, but let me say....once I got my Makondo pills back in her, it took maybe a couple weeks to completely heal her to the usual non-shedding/softness/no dry skin self! Everyday moving forward with those pills there was improvement. Will be a lifer on this product for sure! I spread the word on this whenever somebody asks how my dog is so soft, can't believe it took me this long write a review!

I have a large breed dog -Great Pyranese/German Shepherd/St. Bernard mix - 125 lbs. So you can imagine the shedding between all these breeds. Two issues - MAJOR SHEDDING! and skin infections from bacteria/fungus. His skin was so bad it was flaking. Other issue is we think he has some kind of allergy from the skin infections so we can't feed him a bunch of stuff - like Salmon Oil which I know is great. So after reading the reviews I decided to try these, at least for the shedding, you can't imagine how much hair he sheds. He gets two pills a day due to his weight so I give him one in the AM and one in the PM. I aslo bought the Probiotics for Dogs - sold here on Amazon to help his immune system. He has been on these pills for about 3 weeks. I also use the furminator on him, which helps. I just brushed him and got only 1/2 brush full! I was AMAZED! I didn't think anything would cut down his shedding but I'm a believer now! He eats the pills no problem I just throw them on top of his food. If you have a dog that is driving you nuts with shedding here are some things you can do: 1. Make sure he is on GOOD dog food, grain free, good source of protien (Acana, Orijen are great foods) 2. Give him this supplement 3. Put him on a good Probiotic for Dogs (they sell on Amazon) 4. Use the furminator brush on him at least once a week 5. Buy a blow dryer for dogs - they have an inexpensive portable one here on Amazon -this gets rid of a TON more hair after you give him a bath, it really helps. These are the things I have done for my dog and I think it really made a difference so I wanted to share. Hope this helps!
