People ask me what Biscuit takes. Friends with dogs, coworkers who’ve seen the supplement cabinet photos in my phone, the occasional stranger at the dog park who notices me pumping fish oil onto kibble and gives me a look. “What’s the routine? What does she actually get every day?” What the research shows In senior…
Here is the thing nobody tells you about dog supplements: the best supplement in the world is useless if your dog won’t eat it. You can spend hours researching strains, reading clinical trials, comparing COAs, and selecting the perfect product.

Not all at once — I’m not insane — but cumulatively, across the joint, oral health, and general wellness categories, I have purchased, opened, and attempted to administer eight different products to one increasingly skeptical golden retriever. What the research shows Two…
Let’s talk about dog breath. Not the cute, “aww, puppy kisses” kind. The real kind. The kind where your golden retriever yawns on the couch and you physically recoil. The kind where guests subtly shift away when she puts her head on their lap. The kind where you love your dog more than anything in…
