I have a 50lb lab who has a very sensitive stomach, and goes through random bouts of diarrhea and vomiting. I purchased this product because I liked the idea of just giving her a treat instead of a pill. My dog really likes these treats, which is a major plus. She has no clue that they are good for her. Better, though, is that they actually have done wonders for her system. I have been using these for a month now, and just purchased my second bag (my puppy gets two treats a day, so these bags last her 1 month.) I am very pleased with this product, and I can tell me puppy's stomach feels better! Another plus...less gas!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The first thing I do whenever I get any pet treats is checkout the back of the bag. There are a few warning signs that stand out immediately for me about this product:

1 Ingredients are all grain or additives. Zero meat, only flavoring comes from byproducts or "flavorings"

2 Zero "Country of Origin" information. Lots of stamps about quality control and about how the company is called "of Vermont" but zero information on where this is made (note: "Distributed By" is not the same as where its made).

3 Very prominent "for animal use only" warning (ie: not for human consumption).

Taking these one-by-one -

Meat does not need to be in this item because it's not really the dog's main meal. However, quite a few dogs do have gluten allergies, just like humans. Generally speaking, quite a few grains are known to be allergenic to dogs. If you can stay away from processed grains, it's not a bad idea to do so. Unfortunately this does essentially rule out any "biscuit" type of treat for dogs.

This is a biggie for me. Many of your major pet food manufacturers have used ingredients from China or have made the entire item there. As we all know, China currently has a pretty bad reputation for... well... poisoning our animals. Most of your pet food manufacturers who use all US-based ingredients in US-based factories are pretty proud of this fact and will prominently label their products as "Made in the USA". I think that treats fall into a separate category from actual dog food, so the manufacturers are probably not required to post this information, but again, if it's made in the USA, why wouldn't you include it? Even when made in the USA, we're not always great about keeping the salmonella away (as the latest recall in Feb 2013 proves). Knowing factory of origin is a real bonus here.

Whenever things are labeled "for animal use only," it usually means that there are non-human grade items in the product. When you're looking at feeding your pet things like probiotics, Omega-3's and so forth, often the human-grade version ends up being cheaper. Since the human grade versions usually have to pass more stringent tests than the pet variety, "spiking" treats with non-human grade ingredients just doesn't make much sense.

So about the product after using this for about a week, I haven't seen anything significant with my pups (Malamute / Shiba). They don't seem to have any digestive issues or improvements, and their stools look the same. This may be because the grade of food I use is higher, and perhaps these were meant more for people who choose bargain pet foods, but I can't say for sure. Also, even after repeated handwashings, the smell of these treats were stuck to my fingers for about an hour.

Best Deals for Pet Naturals of Vermont Daily Digest For Dogs

I have used Pet Naturals of Vermont products for quite a while. This is the first time I've used Daily Digest. I got this product because my dogs recently had parasites issues that required use of medications that can cause upset tummies and overall decline in health of the digestive tract. This product has the probiotics to help rebuild the healthy intestinal ecosystem and help in digestion of their food. Anything that helps my babies and am all in for :)

Honest reviews on Pet Naturals of Vermont Daily Digest For Dogs

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have two puppies with Giardia. The vet had told me that the mother (my dog as well) most likely passed the disease down to all her puppies. Now my puppies have stool with blood, diareeah, and a mucus looking substance. One of my puppies also has stomach issues. He tends to vomit up a lot of his food depending on the day or how excited he gets. I have purchased This product as a supplement to help my puppies with their Giardia issue as per suggestion of my vettenarian. It seems to me that this supplement combined with the antibiotic seem to be doing the trick. My pups started to have harder and more regular stool as well as less vomiting and upset stomach.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Since these worked so well in the cat version as a sort of "Tums" aid, I was pleased to try these on my family's dogs to see if they worked to improve their lives. I'm impressed with how well they do the trick. Also, by all indications, they taste good.

Their bowel movements are firmer and less stinky, which makes yard cleaning and indoor accidents a bit easier. They make my chihuahua's poops more like tootsie rolls than the softer, messier kind (sorry if this is TMI, but we ARE discussing digestive supplements).

The older dogs also seem more peaceful and alert when these are used on a daily basis. There is also less farting.

I think I will keep them around for as-needed use, but I was curious about daily benefits. If they were cheaper, I would consider adding these to their daily regime as a "vitamin". As it is, I will just use them as medicine, for when changing their food brands, or when traveling, to make their tummies more comfortable.

I break the bone-shapes into two pieces for the toy dogs and use them whole on the medium sized canines.

I'm so impressed with these probiotic pet supplements that I am thinking to find some human ones for me. :-)
