Meet Rachael and Jacob
I have had Jacob since he was a puppy. He has always had really dry, flaky skin, and had trouble growing hair.

It’s one less thing for me to worry about!

We just received our order and he loved it the minute he saw “his” order arrive.

Are Horse Treats Safe for Dogs?
I’ve noticed that a couple of barn dogs like to eat HoofSnax or FlaxSnax if they are left within reach. I’ve wondered if the biotin in the HoofSnax would hurt the dogs in any way. Also I’ve noticed that the…
