Zesty Paws Dog Allergy Relief Chews, Dog Probiotics for Itchy Skin and Ears, Lamb, 50ct

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 purchased this product hoping to help my pup with constant paw licking and a surge of seemingly itchy skin. Like I’m telling you he was CONSTANTLY scratching. We first ruled out fleas and waited a few days to see if it had to do with weather but once those factors were ruled out, we started thinking that we needed some supplemental help.Within a week of taking these daily, our pup seems to be much more comfortable and the constant scratching has declined rapidly! He didn’t have any issue taking them and in fact he acts like it’s a treat so they must be tasty! Our doggy didn’t have any tummy issues which can sometimes happen with a goldendoodle and new treats, so that’s another major plus!

I gave it 4 because my dog liked the Better Wild brand better but these do crumble and you can mix it in food if need be. It's too soon to tell if they work --as we have not used many of them yet. The season for his itchies also hasn't started yet - hoping to boost his immunity before they hit.As a note - these smell good to me - my boy doesn't share the same opinion. However he will eat them if I Hoover and make sure he does.

My dogs are a little picky about the flavor of supplements but I have no trouble getting them to take them. They are small, easy to break in half for my smaller dog that takes small bites and no problem for the bigger one. I believe the supplement is helping because they aren't constantly licking like they were before. Great for their skin health because if I can't get them to take them, they can't help them.

2 containers in and really no changes to my GSD chewing and scratching. I will try dog in human next. Apoqul did nothing and cost a fortune for 3 months. Benedryl stops itching for about 3+ fours but the reviews for this were so positive we gave it a try and almost 2 months in my BM/GSD is still chewing and scratching leaving scabs here and there. Grainfree diet with online freeze dried salmon and liver we make ourselves with no addivities.

I have a German shepherd, every spring/summer he gets so itchy to the point he starts losing hair. These treats have made a huge difference in just a couple days. He is no longer constantly itching and biting at his fur and seems so much more relieved. I will say he isn’t a fan of the liver flavor so I’ll try another flavor choice next time! 10/10 recommend.

I bought these in March 2025 because my dog was experiencing very bad itchiness, runny eyes. I remember him biting his legs paws badly. I realized it could be of allegies and found this product. Within days I noticed a difference in his behavior he wasn't biting his legs or paws as much. After almost a month of giving him these, his eyes look great no watery black eyes and I don't see him biting himself anymore as before!! It has helped my dog tremendously! Definitely recommend.

I can’t believe the difference these chews made—after just ONE dose! My doodle had been itching nonstop for the past month, to the point where he’d wake both of us up during the night. It was heartbreaking and exhausting. But the first time I gave him these, the itching completely stopped. He’s now sound asleep next to me, peaceful for the first time in what feels like forever. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be keeping these stocked. Total game changer!
