💡 Tip from the Founder:
A number of the breeds on this list are prone to ear & skin problems.
My own dog Peanut struggled with the same things, and nothing fixed the root cause.
So I partnered with a Vet of 21 years, Dr. Bryan Dart, to create something that actually helped.
And that’s how BetterBlend™ Pre & Probiotics were born.
What started as a fix for Peanut went viral.
And now thousands of UK dogs use BetterBlend™ for ear, skin, and gut health.
One reader told us it completely cleared her Spaniel’s ear gunk and smelly skin.
