Nutramax Laboratories Dermaquin Skin Support Sm/Med Dogs 5-30 lbs & Cats 60 ct

These supplement treatments were recommended to us by our vet when I asked about our cat’s dandruff. The cat loves them. I thought I may have to cut them in half as others have said because they are kind of hard but he eats them as is. I think they have helped him. Still occasional dandruff but the situation has much improved. He has been on them about 5-6 weeks. One a day as recommended for cats.,

These were recommended by the vet. They have not helped much with his itch but they did improve his poop. As other reviewers comment -- they are NOT soft. I have to cut into 8-12 pieces and mix in with his kibble. When served in the morning, the pieces are _usually_ gone by bedtime. Initially, I cut in half and directly administered the pieces, but he already gets other daily pills that need to be directly administered and the end result was that he didn't want to come for meal times. And this is a cat that is happy to eat his tablet meds like candy and has yet to meet a meal he didn't want. I think they are overpriced, but that's what they cost pretty much everywhere. I am uncertain how long we'll continue using these because, as stated, they haven't appeared to make any notable difference with the itching. He's mostly still on them because it's improved his pooping (and he's a elder statesman so that seems like a positive -- although there are probably less expensive options out there).

We started using this after my 5 pound 10 year old mostly indoor Shih Tzu contracted mange and then gave it to my entire family. After she was treated with steroids and antibiotics she developed dandruff. Huge flakes that were still present after professional grooming. I thought Omega 3 would help. These worked beautifully. I still give her one every day.

I've read and heard a lot of mixed reviews about Dermaquin. My vet also said it's a 50/50 shot if it would even help for itchy skin. My dog seems to be doing fine and I'm convinced that it helps. She's been prescribed Apoquel but since using Dermaquin, I'm only administering Apoquel 3 days a week. Well worth it to get her off of a medication. I would suggest trying a couple of bags. It's worth a try.

I have a dog who is allergic to meat and meat flavoring, and so these were recommended to me by my vet as this dog also has horrible skin allergies we can't treat with shots or pills, because he's special that way too. These have kiwi in them, which sounds weird for a dog, but my dog loves them and actually waits for me to give him one at night. They seem to keep his itchiness more at bay as he scratches less since starting them, and for a pet who doesn't have the extreme skin issues he has I'd think they'd help with eliminating hot spot licking and scratching and bringing down the constant discomfort. Once you get the dog started, a bag lasts about two months if they're under 25 lbs, so the cost also feels worth it to make him feel a little better. I do autoship as well to save a little.
