This review doesn't even deserve one star. I decided to buy this product for our 12-year-old Australian cattle dog mix after carefully scrutinizing every ingredient to make sure that it is beneficial for dogs. The first time this powder was given to her (full scoop recommended for her weight), she had a lot of belching afterward. Not thinking much about it, we continued to give her the powder, except with half of a scoop. One week later my dog vomited three times in the morning. Three weeks after that she was violently sick with vomiting and explosive diarrhea which turned bright red with blood within 2 hours. After rushing her to the vet, the vet took one look at her stool sample and recommended we take her to the emergency animal hospital, where she was diagnosed with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. She was given IV fluids and luckily was stable enough to recuperate at home. It took her several days to fully recover with the help of five different medications. She was not given any change in her diet at this time except for the addition of the pro power plus which makes me strongly suspect she had a severe allergic reaction to this product that almost cost her her life. Unfortunately other than the stomach upset happening one week after taking this product my dog couldn't signal to us how much pain or discomfort she must have been feeling.
This product may work for some dogs, but almost killed our beloved dog. I strongly urge those considering this product to think twice about purchasing it, because it is NOT WORTH THE RISK. STAY AWAY!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
