Zesty Paws Probiotics for Dogs

Dad

Okay, I bought this. You were there when I opened the box. What did you think?

Boldo

The smell was legitimate. Chicken meal base, some kind of ocean thing underneath. Not a trick smell. That was my first good sign. Then you tried to act casual about it, which made me suspicious. I watched you read the label three times.

Dad

Let's talk about the smell. I know that's your main thing.

Boldo

It smells like chicken jerky mixed with fish oil. Not repulsive. Not like your green supplement powders that smell like a lawn got blended. I can tell there's actual meat in this. The fish part is strong enough that I take it seriously. Your cat won't even look at it, which is a point in its favor.

Dad

You've had some time with it now. Is it any good?

Boldo

My stomach is quieter. You know how I used to wake you up at 3 a.m. asking to go outside? That stopped. I'm not going to make a whole thing about it because you'll get smug, but the probiotics are working. Wait, is that the mailman? No. False alarm. Anyway. Yes. It works.

Dad

I paid $25 for a month's supply. Be honest. Worth it?

Boldo

If it means you sleep through the night and I don't have to feel weird in my own body, then yes. Twenty-five dollars is less than one vet visit for digestive issues. I've seen your credit card statements. You spend more on coffee you don't even finish. It's reasonable. Not cheap, but not a ripoff either.

Dad

Final answer. Would you recommend this to other dogs?

Boldo

I'd recommend it to dogs with sensitive stomachs or the ones who eat weird things when you're not looking. It tastes fine. The texture is decent. My only complaint is the pieces are small and I sometimes miss them in my bowl, but that's a me problem. Yes. Recommend it. Don't tell anyone I said that though. I have a reputation.
