PAW by Blackmores
Vet-developed joint, skin and coat support from Blackmores, with strong availability across pet and pharmacy retailers. A respectable range — but it sits a clear notch below the purest single-ingredient supplements: the formulas are broader and more processed, carry more added excipients than a strictly natural product, and the pharmacy-brand positioning adds a premium per dose. Good and widely trusted, just not as clean or as simple as the category's best.
