Unexpected

By Billy H., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

I have two English Mastiffs - a fawn and a brindle. The brindle’s coat was dull and full of dandruff. The fawn is an older puppy and already had a good coat. I started giving them Dinovite a couple of months ago. It has made a very noticeable difference in the brindle. His coat is very shiny and so beautiful in the sunlight. I haven’t noticed much difference in the fawn, but since she is so young, her coat was already very pretty.

Dinovite made our Katie's last years WONDERFUL!

By Sandra M., Coal Valley, IL, Verified Reviewer

We had a German Short Hair Pointer. We loved our Katie so very much! She was like a third child - LOL. When she started scratching, we felt so bad for her. We tried EVERYTHING! Then my husband heard about Dinovite on the radio on CH 890, WLS out of Chicago and thought that with the nice things being said we would try it.

In about a week we noticed an improvement. It wasn't immediate but her hair all came back and she stopped itching/biting. Our little girl was comfortable again! After a while, we decided she must not need it anymore so we stopped giving it to her. After a week, maybe two, the itching and biting came back! Well, we put her right back on it and, again, she was comfortable!

We tell everyone about Dinovite. Thank you so VERY MUCH for making her last 5 or 6 years comfortable! She made it to 15 years old and, if not for Dinovite, would've had to suffer those last few years. We only wish we'd found out about Dinovite sooner. THANK YOU!

Old dog, new life

By Becky M., Arkansas, Verified Reviewer

DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:

Our old coondog/chow mix, MataHairy, has developed a number of health issues in her later years (she is 12), so when she began scratching inconsolably, we weren't sure which issue to blame. Mata has hypothyroidism, Cushing's disease from a tumor on her adrenals or pituitary, and bilateral prosthetic knees with severe arthritis around the R one. Her fur had fallen out in splotches, and the fur she did have looked dull and greasy.

She was shedding profusely. I mean, the chow in her made her especially fluffy and she always shed, but I can't describe how bad it had gotten. Like a llama losing its winter coat, Mata's fur would come out in great plugs when we would pet her.

Her fur has always been thick and long like the chow chow; it's white with the hallmark black spots of the coondog. Her beautiful white fur had become stained from excessive licking and gnawing because of whatever is in a dog's saliva. She looked like she was very ill.

Our vet agreed and said all her symptoms presented like an endocrine syndrome. Because of the cocktail of meds she has to take for thyroid, Cushing's, and arthritis, we couldn't give her steroids. We agonized over our options. Mata's itching had become so severe that we feared she would tear open her skin. She couldn't go even a half an hour - including through the night - without violently "attacking" herself with teeth and claws to try to find relief. It was as if something was eating her from the inside out.

THINGS WE TRIED BEFORE DINOVITE:

Because of Mata's old age, we made the painful decision not to run expensive tests beyond basic current lab work. It really had gotten to the point where we were considering having to put her down as a final act of kindness to put her out of her misery. We researched and made a list of everything we could try first.

(1) We used five different kinds of shampoo.

(2) We tried three different topical treatments.

(3) We made sure we bought dog food that was only grain-free.

(4) We had basic lab work done to rule out anything new - like possible diabetes.

(5) As a last ditch effort to give our Mata girl relief, we ordered a 90-day supply of Dinovite. We were going to give it the full 90 days; at the end of 90 days, we decided that if it didn't give Mata back her quality of life, then was going to be time to say goodbye.

WHAT HAPPENED:

The longer your dog has had allergy symptoms, the longer it will take for Dinovite to reverse the problem. It took about 10 weeks, or 70 days, for us to see our old girl start to improve. She did go through a time when she would turn up her nose at her food dish if we put Dinovite in her kibble. The Dinovite coaches gave me several ideas over the phone, and it worked. They were wonderful.

I've read several negative testimonies here saying nothing worked; I'm not a vet, and I don't profess to understand complex endocrine or dermatological pathologies to be able to explain why this product works for some and not others. I can tell you that being patient, consistent, staying in contact with the Dinovite coaches, and waiting the full 90 days helps. In our case it was easy to be patient because our dog's life hung in the balance. If this product didn't help, when 90 days would come to an end so would her life. By this I mean we weren't in any hurry.

HOW MataHairy PRESENTS NOW:

We are now on our second box of large dog Dinovite. Mata's fur is white again, has completely grown back in - as thick and luxurious as when she was young - and she only sheds minimally. Best of all, Mata no longer scratches or gnaws herself.

I had purchased a special sling-harness with an integrated leash from GingerLead to walk Mata because her arthritis around the rear R leg knee was so bad that she couldn't put any weight on it. I can't prove that it's the Dinovite that fixed the arthritis - she's also on excellent med management by the vet (2x weekly shots plus 5 pills a day). But because she was also on those meds prior to Dinovite and still limped and required the GingerLead, I do wonder legitimately if the deciding factor in her improved gait isn't the Dinovite.

A SECOND DOG'S EXPERIENCE WITH DINOVITE:

Someone abandoned an older Shih Tzu at my husband's office in a busy commercial business park. He is now ours, we named him Mr. Buck. He is blind in one eye and had scaly, bumpy skin under one front armpit and all along that leg to the paw.

We started him on grain-free food and Dinovite. We've only had Mr. Buck about five weeks - his skin allergy has completely cleared up. The skin is soft and pink just like a healthy dog's skin should be.

Finally, Mr. Buck's fur is changing! I don't know the Shih Tzu breed. Maybe curly hair is common? I know that when we found Me. Buck, his fur was long, straight, and stringy. We had a groomer give him a "puppy cut," and now as it is growing out we are seeing it coming in curly like a labradoodle coat. I have no idea if this can be attributed to the Dinovite or not. But it's an interesting correlation.

SUMMARY:

Both dogs appear happier and healthier.

No more insane scratching and gnawing (MataHairy).

Less shedding (MataHairy).

Visually healthier skin (MataHairy, Mr. Buck).

Miraculous fur regrowth (MataHairy).

This was a long review. If you've made it to the end, you're a real trooper! I wanted to make the time to write so much because I am now a fierce advocate for this product and hope that my story may help someone else. Had it not been for Dynovite, we would not today have our beautiful MataHairy.

Amazing

By Tracy G., Danville, VA, Verified Reviewer

My dog has suffered all of his life from allergies. We have spent a fortune at the vet only to get mild relief for him.

He scratches constantly, has bald spots everywhere and the smell he has had was sour and yeasty and pungent, and I had to bathe him every other day to keep the smell down...and he would destroy my carpets digging because he was miserable. We have been feeding him grain free for years too.

A friend told me that her dog had the exact same issues and she tried the Dinovite and within a week her dog’s symptoms had vanished.

My order arrived a week earlier than expected, which is awesome...and the dog loved it, and by the end of the first day, his scratching was already practically stopped! I purchased the liquid supplement because I felt like he would like it better. I may try the box next.

This is on the first days and I am excited about the future and having my boy happy and healthy!

Still waiting on refund

By Chris T., Florida, Verified Reviewer

Unfortunately, I was not able to use the product, my pet passed away two days before it arrived. I called Dinovite and they told me that I can get a full refund. They received it on October 15th. And still noncredit. They told me it can take 30 days for a refund. Hopefully it comes fast.

Rip off

By Terri N., Ohio, Verified Reviewer

An unconditional guarantee is just that...oh, but wait, there isn't any such thing. There is one guarantee on the package and another on the website. Please be cautious when doing business with this company.

Costly lesson learned.

Caused cats to projectile vomit; poor customer service

By Kelly R., USA, Verified Reviewer

Dinovite for cats caused multiple of our cats to projectile vomit. This was more than a mere stomach upset. I was barely even giving them any, and they were still puking a lot and often. I don't know if it was a bad batch, or if they've changed something in their formula. It was ok a few years back - no issues. But now, it is the only thing that has changed in their diet. And it was no good.

Because I used it years ago, they refused to honor their guarantee. The customer service representative was also sarcastic and snide. I don't know what happened to this company, but it is no good. Avoid them and choose a different/better product for your pets.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Money back guarantee.

By J. R., Dothan, AL, Verified Reviewer

Please make sure you read the money back guarantee carefully. Not as good a deal as Dinovite makes it seem. My dogs hated this and would go hungry instead of eating it. I tried every trick they suggested, and it did not help.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Allergies helped

By Beverly S., California, Verified Reviewer

Our dog is extremely allergic to most foods and many allergens in the environment. He had serious lesions all over his body that caused him to scratch all the time. Also, his health was questionable with lethargy and other problems that caused a lesser quality of life.

We began cooking for him and supplementing with Dinovite and the results have been amazing. All of the lesions have disappeared, and his Vet says his skin has never looked better. He is energetic and acts more like a puppy than the older age he really is. We can't say all the good things have been because of Dinovite, but it certainly has played a huge part in his recovery and well being.

Happy puppy

By Dianna M., Senatobia, MS, Verified Reviewer

I have a mixed breed Dachshund/Catahoula eight-month-old little girl who has been scratching and chewing for three months. She had large patches of hair missing off her sides and had chewed the hair off her back legs. The vet tried steroids, allergy medications, and skin scrapings and could not help her. I ordered Dinovite last week and she loves the stuff! I use the powder with the liquid fish oil (Supromega) and have no problems with her eating every bite. The best part is that she has not scratched or chewed for the past four days!

Calmed his allergies

By Laura M., Texas, Verified Reviewer

It sure helped my dog! I rescued a hound dog off the side of a rural road. The vet wasn't sure of his age because his teeth were worn down from constantly chewing at himself. Poor thing was miserable all the time. Dinovite addressed his allergies and gave him complete relief!
