the "Soft Chews" makes me think - 'soft' puppies 'chew'
That was what I thought too! Dogs are allergic to chocolate though..
Blanket statement. Got 16 magnificent years from my pup who loved chocolate and….gasp….bones from the roast chook.
16 years of giving your dog toxic treats. They were probably not so wonderful for your pup.
Cause you'd know right? You were there? Oh wait, you're just a know-it-all.
Lucky this isn't really chocolate then
They were given out at Fountain Gate during Xmas. Looks like chocolate but don't taste like chocolate because of the calcium I suppose. Be aware that the sample pack has two tablets and instructions on the pack said you can only take one a day.
IMO, they screwed up by putting milk in the ingredients.
A major reason for needing calcium supplementation is an allergy to dairy.
My kid is allergic to dairy, and I have a hard time getting her to consume enough calcium.
If these were dairy-free, I would buy them by the truck-load.
Have you tried giving them chewable calcium tablets?
Chewable Vitamin D & Calcium Lemon Flavor ( no milk )

They actually taste really, really good. Kind of like the space food sticks you used to be able to buy.
Space food sticks are still around
I disagree, didn't like the taste, and I used to like space food sticks when I was a kid
Has anyone elses Pinchme account just "disappeared". My login email apparently has no account affiliated with it anymore… why is that?
Aren't they clamping down on households or IPs with multiple accounts?
You probably shouldn't have tried to pull one over them in the first place.
the household thing would make sense since my parents also have accounts. Not sure that was "pulling one over them" buddy. so it's 1 per address now? edit: I've been looking around, can't find on their facebook page or website about this info. would late feedback surveys close an account?
the t&cs say "9.5 Each Member is only entitled to claim one sample per product and each household may only claim a maximum of 2 samples per product."
i recall someone getting their account locked for 60 days for not doing the surveys.
thanks mattgal. they got back to me quickly, saying there could only be 2 accounts from one address. they said 2 accounts were still available, but this isnt true. trying to resolve that part now. thank you!
Looks like they pinched your account lol
looks like it haha. I emailed them about it
Yummies! I wonder what happens when you eat them all at once :D
vitamin D in excess is toxic
Calcium in excess is toxic over time ( long term can cause gallstones and artery damage )
Those people who take allot of ant-acids (with Calcium) over a lifetime.
have even developed deadly bone diseases.
So 1 a day then :(
Thank you
Managed to get one. I look forward to trying these. Thanks OP.
Received the sample today. Cheers OP
OK I'm late but:
1) Avoid calcium supplements that deliver the calcium as calcium carbonate. It's the cheapest but not the most bio-available form of supplemental calcium, especially if you have low stomach acid (surprisingly common for those of middle age and beyond, those with acid reflux, or those regularly taking antacids or proton pump inhibitors such as Nexium). Supplements delivering the calcium as calcium citrate are a better choice.
2) If you take any calcium supplement, add vitamin K2 to your regime. This activates a liver protein which directs the calcium to bones and teeth rather than letting it kick around in your bloodstream where it tends to add to arterial plaque, which in turn can increase B/P and risk of heart disease and/or strokes and/or kidney issues. K2 is hard to get through the typical western diet, so get it as a supplement
3) It's always better to get what you need through a healthy diet, not from supplements. Your bone health requires injestion of a lot more than calcium/vit D/vit K2.
I'm not a Doctor. I'm someone who did research to learn why a Doctor was getting so much so wrong, leading to the worsening of an elderly friend's osteoperosis and heart condition.
Google the above, and satisfy yourself, before acting on any of it.
These definitely look like something you should give to your dog. Just something about the packaging.
