What's the difference between the "Original" and "small breed" formulas? Are the formulas REALLY different between the two?

The itemized ingredients on their website are identical, though it's possible the proportions are different.

I've never bought the small breed one. You should be able to see the ingredients in the description of the product. I would guess most of them are similar. I like the product and my dog gobbles it right up mixed with his food. My vet said she uses it too.

We've never used the 'small dog' formula but I suggest you anticipate that your dogs will react to this when flying similarly to how they would react whenever you give it to them when traveling. It doesn't work for all dogs all the time - nothing does.

Puppies like your lab mix and adolescents like your mini dach have different nutritional needs as they are in different stages of development and are very different in size and activity level. It's not entirely dependent on breed, but size age and activity level have the most to do with what you should be feeding your pooches. Good on you for looking at the better formulas, not the grain filler crap.

Not sure, but I think the pump squirt is sized for the weight of the dog... For instance, I had been buying the smaller 8 oz size bottle for my Pom because she was so small. This time I ordered the next size up because 16oz is only $4 more than the 8oz size. Quite a savings. When I received the larger size I noticed that the pump was larger and dispersed more. To answer your question, You might want to call the company directly, give them the weight of your dog and the size bottle & pump that fits...then ask them the correct dosage and the equivalent mg in one squirt. They are very helpful. Not sure, but I think the pump squirt is sized for the weight of the dog... For instance, I had been buying the smaller 8 oz size bottle for my Pom because she was so small.

There is no difference. It's the same product, just marketed under a different name. So you can use it to supplement or you can use it for full formula feeding.

I believe they are the same except the dog ones are bigger. They used to be a wonderful product that most cats ate readily. They changed the formula a few years ago, now most cats won't touch them! You are using such a small about for one little pill, it really doesn't matter if it is for a dog or cat. Good luck.

I think that the formula I purchased both times is the newer one. I like it and have used it fairly regularly. I haven't seen tremendous results, but I will probably buy it again.

I really don't know the difference; but, as I see on Amazon, the Enzymatic ones are more expensive. I would recommend you ask your Vet which one he wants you to get for your animal.

I'm sorry. That info is not on the bottle. They are from a co. in VT., but if the mfg. is different, it isn't listed. I do know it has help my doggie greatly.

The label on mine states; small is up to 25lbs and petite is for tiny toy or puppies under 5 lbs. med is 25-60 lbs.

They are basically the same. Little Machine shop has a chart that compares brands, http://littlemachineshop.com/info/minimill_compare.php

I am not certain if the formula is exactly the same but they are both lip balms. The new tube looks a bit smaller.

No it's definitely different packaging. Whether or not it's the same formula, I'm not sure.

The answers below are correct. OF= Original Formula which is a very good supplement for the price. AF = Advanced Formula for older/senior/working dogs. Get the AF for your Dane. Now.

All of the ingredients in both packs are the same and listed in the same order, indicating that they are, of course, in approximately the same concentration. The analysis of both is exactly the same, with the exception of crude protein: 20% crude protein in the Hip, Joint & Coat, but 18% in the Hip & Joint. Frankly, I have used both successfully. No digestive problems (and my dogs are quite sensitive), good coats, excellent on hip and joints. I was giving too small a dose to one of my older poodles. When I discovered this and doubled her dose, she was jumping and running again like a puppy within a day!

There were several sized packages for Spirograph, from the big deluxe box to the smaller kits for a cheaper price. You may be remembering a bigger package. In this case, original means it is the same product and not a knock-off. It has nothing to do with size.

I'm not sure what the differences are, but the 2.0 kit specifically says it can be used with mixed breeds, and that's what we used for our Blue Heeler / Lab mix. I think the mixed breed kit may be an older product.
