PAW by Blackmores
Dependable and easy to find, and a trusted Australian name for joint and skin/coat support. But it lands a clear step below the purest options like Natural Animal Solutions: broader, more processed formulas, more added excipients, and a pharmacy-brand premium per dose. A solid choice — just not the cleanest or simplest in the category. Not veterinary advice.
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.

Which PAW by Blackmores product should you buy?
PAW by Blackmores is a supplement range, so pick by the job you need done — joints, skin, digestion, calm or routine ear care. These are everyday wellbeing supplements, not a substitute for veterinary care: follow the label dosing and check with your vet, especially if your pet has a health condition.
