"This is a great natural shampoo and conditioner set that can be used for all dogs but especially those with itchy or sensitive skin. The shampoo moisturisers and the conditioner soothes and promotes a healthy skin barrier. I find it very useful to use with my Border Collie after he has been in contact with any weeds or plants that can make him itchy!"
"This is my favourite joint supplement to recommend to customers with dogs showing early signs of arthritis or to use prophylactically for at risk large or working breed dogs. It contains the unique ingredient epitalis, which is a plant oil extract, and along with green lipped mussel, shark cartilage and abalone, these ingredients work synergistically to target the chemical responsible for causing inflammation and impairing joint dysfunction"
"The reason I recommend Simparica Trio is that I think it is a good value parasite preventative that provides protection against fleas, ticks, heartworm and intestinal worms. It is also liver flavoured and my dogs take it as a treat!"
"These are my dogs favourite treats, I have never seen them both sit so quickly for any other treats! I also like that they are natural and made from 100% premium cuts of lamb"
