Dog Supplement & Product Reviews

At Fido’s Bowl, our product reviews are written for dog owners who want clear, practical information — not hype or medical claims.


We focus on dog supplements, treats, and nutrition-related products that are commonly used alongside homemade or thoughtfully planned diets. Every review is structured to explain what the product does, who it makes sense for, and where its limitations are, so you can decide if it fits your dog and your routine.

How We Review Dog Products

Our reviews are based on:

  • Real-world use
  • Ingredient transparency
  • Brand quality and manufacturing standards
  • Practical considerations like dosing and long-term cost


We don’t test products in isolation or make medical claims. Instead, we evaluate how products fit into responsible, everyday dog care.

If we haven’t used a product ourselves, we’ll clearly state that.

Review Categories

These reviews focus on joint supplements commonly used for large, active, or aging dogs, with an emphasis on ingredients, dosing, and long-term practicality.

Hip & Joint Supplements

Joint supplements are commonly used for large breeds, active dogs, and dogs entering their senior years. Our reviews focus on ingredient quality, dosing realities, and whether products are practical for long-term use.

Vitamin & Mineral Supplements

Vitamin and mineral supplements can be helpful in specific situations, especially for homemade feeding. Our reviews explain what each product provides — and what it does not — so supplements aren’t used blindly.

Dog Treats and Functional Chews

Not all treats are created equal. We review functional treats and chews with an eye toward ingredients, sourcing, and whether they make sense as part of a balanced routine.

Fresh Dog Food Brands

Fresh dog food brands appeal to owners who want an upgrade from kibble but aren’t ready to cook at home. Our reviews focus on ingredient transparency, formulation, and real-world feeding practicality.
