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.
When I first started using this supplement, my dog loved it and always finished his bowl of food. With the last few shipments, the powder smells like rotten fish and tastes very salty (yes, I tasted it). Now my dog refuses to eat it or finish his bowl. It must be the kelp that has gone rancid, which is a common problem with kelp/seaweed supplements. Please fix the issue and you'll have a happy, returning client.
My dogs, who are very picky eaters, gobble their food down with this powder. It makes keeping my furbabies healthy; easy when I put this powder on their food.

I am so far a very happy customer. When I first started making my dog her homemade food I went with Opal but then changed to another brand. Big mistake! My poor dog refused to eat her food with the other brand. We’re back to using Opal for good this time. My pet loves it.
We are so glad this product exists. Our dog has wonderful energy and vitality
My package was lost in transit. I contacted customer care and they quickly responded I just received it and they sent me another one for free.
