Great!

I have found that this product has been beneficial to my dog. She was having really bad allergies. Shaking her ears, discharge from her nose and licking her paws. It has been a god send in helping her to not be so miserable. I highly recommend.

Customer service knowledgeable and helpful

Arrived so quickly. Newman is picky but took Boost right away. Has stomach issues but customer service answered my concerns and he’s doing great. Happy to have found them.

Worth the wait!

It took a couple of weeks to start seeing results, but it was well worth the wait!! They’ve really improved our dog’s dry skin and he’s itching so much less! These bites are a game changer!!

Great service

I can't believe how easy it was to order and how quickly the product arrived. I ordered on a Thursday night and it arrived on Saturday. I had some questions and was able to get straight answers from their customer service department. I gave Ziggy his first dose today and he loved it!

Unresponsive customer service

I sent an email to cancel the 2nd order shortly after realizing that it was a duplicate after trying to call and not getting an answer. Now I have an email stating that both orders have been sent. Very poor customer service. Will not order again.

Boost Bites are helping with my dog's itch skin

I ordered two jars of Boost Bites for my dog. I was told by my Vet that Shaynie may have a food allergy. She has been itchy since I adopted her. My Vet. told me that the most common protein that dogs are allergic to, is chicken. Shaynie is now on a salmon and oatmeal diet and she gets one Boost Bite daily. She loves it and she thinks it's a treat. I like that it's trout flavored and has no chicken. Shaynie is scratching less, so I'm happy about that.

Summertime allergies

Seems to help my dog's scratching from summertime allergies. My dog weiighs 50#. It takes 2 chews, however, to have any effect.

Hi Carla, so great to hear that Boost Bites is helping. Thanks for letting us know.

We encourage customers to start with a double dose for the first 30 days to build up the probiotics in their system. Since your dog weighs 50 lbs, after 30 days or so you should be able to reduce the dosage to 1 chew per day.

Please keep us posted on your dog's progress!

All the best,

My dogs do not like.

My dogs do not like these chews. I have to dip them in gravy for them to take them.

Hi Tari, I am sorry to hear your dogs do not like the product. We worked hard to create a formula that most dogs like, but on rare occasions some dogs just don't.
Have you tried breaking the chews up and mixing them in with their food?
We have plans to release more flavors in the future and will keep in touch when that happens.
Thanks for trying Boost Bites, and please feel free to reach out to us if there's anything we can do to help.

All the best,

I purchased this for my dogs itching!

I purchased this because your ad said it would help my dog with allergies. Been taking for 1 month. Have not seen a difference!

Hi Ms. Lloyd, I am sorry to hear you have not seen the results you were hoping for yet.
Depending on the dog's size and condition, it can take up to 6 weeks to notice results.
They’ve helped thousands of dogs but it depends on if the dogs underlining condition is due to nutrition.
When the chews do not work there is a good chance that the dog could be exposed to an allergen in their home or yard. This could be present in a household detergent or their food.
For best results, give these to your dog consistently. You could double up the dosage for a month to see if that helps.
If you have tried all of these things, and it is just not a good fit, please feel free to reach out to our CS department and we will make it right

Best,
