I cannot attest to the efficacy of this powder because he would not eat, regardless of how little I added to his food. The smell of this powder is very strong and impossible to mask. Wasted money.
Had high hopes for this pairing with the homemade food for my pups. They must not like the smell or taste of this powder supplement because they do not want to touch their food when I add this to their food. I have tried several ways to hide it and still they won't eat if they smell it in their bowl. Still searching for that perfect product.
I’ve been home cooking for my dog for about two months now and have been using Opal pets. It’s really easy to use and he loves it. So far so good.
Not sure why, but my dog avoided his food anywhere I sprinkled this product. He is normally a pretty indiscriminate eater, so I was surprised by this 🤷🏼♀️
Seems to be good quality product. Smells horrible, but dog doesn’t mind at all. Wish it lasted a little longer.
Melts right into the food, smells good. I am happy my fur babies are getting all their nutrients and I dont have to worry I may be not adding in enough vitamins.
I've been using this for months on my pet's home made food. I love this product.
I love using Opal powder supplement for Thor. I have been using it ever since my daughter-in-law, who is a dog trainer and former vet tech, recommended that I need to supplement the food that I make for Thor. I began making my own food because Thor and Maria [who is waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for us] began to turn their noses away from food I purchased at the store. I tried all varieties, and I finally decided to cook my own when I opened a can of food that smelled like rotting trash. Thor is much healthier and I feel assured that he is getting the right nutrition because I’m adding Opal powder at every meal.
I’ve been using Opal Perfect Powder for my 2-year-old Australian Shepherd for about three weeks now, and so far I am really happy with it. He eats it mixed into his homemade food with no problem. No picking around it or hesitation.
I like that it does not have that strong fishy smell like some other mixes I have tried. It also comes in a convenient container instead of individual packets which makes daily feeding so much easier.
Another thing I really like is that the dosage is based on weight rather than the total size of the batch. With mixes like Mercola Meal Mix, I had to combine everything into the entire batch before serving which can alter the recipe and flavor. You also have to measure everything very precisely, which can be a lot of extra work, especially if you have a large dog or multiple dogs. With this one, I can just sprinkle it on per meal. It is easier and keeps his food tasting the same.
My main complaint is that the recipe options are limited and the ones included are only vegan. We use it in our homemade meat-based food anyway and it seems like a lot of other reviewers do too, but I wish there were more recipe options that support meat-based diets.
Since I have only been using it for three weeks, I cannot speak to long-term results yet, but so far so good.
Stared this a week ago with real food and my dog sleeps deeper and her coat is shiny! Cannot wait to see more with more time!
I originally didn’t think this was for me until I woke with customer service And realized that I can use it with any home cooked meal as a boost
Only 3 recipes and they are vegan in the cookbook I’m shocked . Asked immediately for a refund and was shipped the item’s I don’t want them
I like it so far, too early to tell if it will work. My pup seems to not mind it to much. Excited to be able to add this supplement to her homeade dog food.
It gave my dogs the worst diarrhea ever, they were VERY sick and started pooping blood. I threw it away.
I’m not sure what it is, but our dog will always eat anything we give her, but she immediately stopped eating anything that had this supplement powder on it.
And my very picky JRT would not come near it.
My big furry mutt just loves this powder. I mix it with her vegetables and chicken and stir it together with chicken broth. Deee-licious!
I switched to homemade about 6 months ago, the dogs are doing great. I would love it if Opal Pets came in a larger size. I foster large dogs and have to order 3 containers every 3 weeks!
We have been feeding our EB’s homemade food since one was diagnosed with PLE. They love Opal Pet’s recipes and supplement.
Unfortunately, the taste was not to my dog’s liking so I wasted $35.
Silas has not noticed the addition of the supplements to his homemade food. He waits patiently, as soojoy. I'm ready to put the bowl down he's jumping for joy. His coat is smooth, clean and shiny. He's a happy boy.
