I am a retired veterinary technician and have a dog who has seasonal allergies, and food allergies. His symptoms consist mostly of scratching at his face, and chewing his feet. The food allergies have been controlled by putting him on a limited ingredient diet. The seasonal allergies usually started up in April and last until November, and required antihistamines. Last spring my vet convinced me to try the prescription medication Apoquel which is an immunosuppressive. At first it seemed like magic, my dog had zero allergy symptoms. Then after being on the medication for a few months, my dog developed a histiocytoma (a benign tumor) on his lip. These are typically seen in puppies and young dogs - my dog was 4 yrs. old at the time. These usually go away on their own after a few months and that is exactly what happened - no big deal (other than a trip to the vet to confirm that it was in fact a histiocytoma and not a more aggressive tumor). Several months later, while still on Apoquel, my dog started chewing on his right front leg, up near where the leg and body meet (his front "armpit" if you will). He was also shedding like crazy - HUGE amounts of fur. He ended up with a large area of hair loss and red angry looking skin on his right front leg. He would not leave it alone. This happened after the allergy season. I bought a sleeve to keep him away from it, and took him to the vet (again). She did a skin scraping to check for bacterial infection, yeast infection, or mange which were all negative, and then suggested putting him on prednisone (another immunosuppressant) in addition to the Apoquel and Zyrtec. I told her I had been reading up on Apoquel and some of the side effects included histiocytomas and demodectic mange. I told her I was going to pull him off of the Apoquel (which needed to be done by weaning over a few weeks). She suggested I could try a dose of Bravecto which is used for fleas and ticks, but also is very effective in treating demodectic mange mites just in case the negative scraping was due to a low population of mites. Within a week of getting him off of the Apoquel and using the Bravecto his skin calmed down, and at that time I noticed that his entire coat was thinning - more noticeably on his right side. Once he was off of that nasty drug it took a few months for his fur to grow back. This year before allergy season started, I decided to read up on supplements for allergies. I chose Zesty Paws because of all of the good reviews, and the company's reputation. I started giving them to my dog in March and now well into allergy season have not seen ANY of his usual allergy symptoms. Also, his coat looks beautiful again!

I'm editing my review to update and change my 2 star review to a 5 star.My doggie loves the taste and gobbles them up. Unfortunately, after a good month of faithfully using them, they have done absolutely nothing to reduce her itching. For us, these are just an expensive treat.Update: I reached out to the Zesty Paws manufacturer to explain that our vet had recommended them but their product didn't work for our pup. I had a response within a couple of hours to offer another product free of charge or a full refund of my purchase. It's not often to receive such a quick response. It was no hassle and 100% money back. Thank you Zesty Paws for standing by your product even though it doesn't always work for every pet.

Helpful with the allergies although has not completely eradicated the problem. I have seen some healing of the red, itchy splotches but she has also developed new ones. This is after about five weeks. I reordered them but depending on how she does, might try another brand. Back to the vet yesterday for another Cytapoint injection and antibiotics. We will see.

My only regret is that I did not find this product sooner! My dog has chewed his paws for as long as I can remember, he would not go for walks longer than about 8 minutes and his eye tears were horrible. He has been taking 2 a day for about 2-3 weeks, his eyes are almost completely clear of tears, he does not chew his paws anymore and he LOVES to go for long walks where he goes in a little gallup! This has been quite a game changer he is truly back to his old self!

I have a 15lb Maltipoo that licks his paws, scratches & has a sensitive digestive system. I started him on the lamb flavor March 4th and it has helped him significantly. He’s stopped licking incessantly. The first month he ate them as a treat on their own. However, 2 months in, he now wants nothing to do with them. I’ve started crushing them into his food & he’s reluctantly eating it. Also in the last few days he’s having diarrhea, I’m not sure if it’s because of this or not. I read another review on a Maltipoo also having diarrhea. I’m bummed cause this is helping him. I wonder what else I could try or if I just give him half a day, if that would still work for him.

I cannot say enough compliments for this product !! I truly thought all the reviews were too good to be true. I have a silver lab who was always pink skinned because his skin became irritated so easily.He also has three legs and one eye. So needless to say anything I can do to help my buddy live a more comfortable life I’m up for - so I gave these a tryTHEY WORK! His ears are WHITE! I never thought they’d ever get that healthy - antibiotics don’t even perform that well.He’s also significantly decreased on licking and chewing his feet. While he still does time and again he’s only been on them since 4/22. His fur is growing back on his paws and his coat is so silky.He even seems happier! He loves the peanut butter ones and thinks they’re cookies!Give this product a shot - I’m over the moon happy!Sharing a pic of my best bud - isn’t he handsome?!

My dog was itchy and biting all the time and also had an upset tummy on occasion so I thought I’d try these especially since I take probiotics daily as well. They worked great. She stopped all the itch behavior and also loves these. I give them to her like a treat and she often will ask for them if I forget to give it to her. Highly recommend.

I don't think it's helped with the paw licking but the benefits to her tummy are so noticeable. She used to have alot of gurgling in her tummy after eating and burping. That is completely gone.
