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. I used fish oil capsules for a few years and switched him to a high quality food, but this did not help his skin condition. Finally, 1 year ago I started him on SmartCanine Skin & Coat. I chose this because I have had great experience with SmartSupplements for my horse and really have grown to trust them…

Canine SmartPaks make life easier when feeding Strata away from home. Instead of packing baggies of supplements right before a trial, I just keep a couple of Canine SmartPaks in my travel bag. 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…
