Will my dog eat it?
FindingOf the 22 complaints about this product, 10 describe a dog that refused it.
Refusal is the largest cause of what goes wrong here — the most common complaint it gets.
How we counted this
We read all 178 Chewy reviews that carry written text. 28 are one or two stars. 6 of those describe a delivery failure and say nothing about the product, so they are excluded here and counted in the rating panel instead. That leaves 22 complaints about the product itself — the denominator above. Never the number of buyers, which we do not know.
Will it do anything, and by when?
Not checkedWe could not check this product's actives against a published canine dose range.
Our dose library covers glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM. Anything outside that we have not checked — which is a gap in our library, not a verdict on the ingredient.
(1–2 stars)
— not the product
about the product
to eat it
Compared against the 11 supplements we have measured. Refusal rates differ by category — kibble and joint chews are not the same question — so we compare like with like where we have enough products to, and say when we do not.
What is actually in it
Not foundWe could not find a published ingredient panel for this product.
We looked in 4 of the 6 places we know to look: the retailer listing HTML, the same page after scripts run, the brand's own product feed, and the brand's product photography. Two sources remain untried, so we are not claiming the panel does not exist — only that we have not found it yet.
What it costs to get the dose
Computed$27.88 at Chewy — $0.20 per chew.
Dosing is by weight, so what matters is cost per day for your dog, not the shelf price.
| Your dog | Chews/day | Tub lasts | Cost per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 25 lb | 1 chew | 140 days | $0.20 |
| 26–50 lb | 2 chews | 70 days | $0.40 |
| 51–75 lb | 3 chews | 46 days | $0.60 |
| Over 75 lb | 4 chews | 35 days | $0.80 |
Tell us your dog's weight and we will carry the per-day cost across every product you look at.
Is the rating real?
Finding6 of this product's 28 worst reviews are about delivery, not the product.
Removing them raises the score.
Both numbers are shown deliberately. The retailer's rating is what you will see everywhere else, and hiding it would be its own distortion.
How we counted this
We read every one- and two-star review and classify what it actually complains about. Reviews whose only complaint is non-delivery or shipping time are removed and the mean recalculated. We show both figures side by side.
Who actually owns this brand
VerifiedThe mark PUP CHOICE is registered to Brainiac Brands Inc., a Delaware company.
Owner of record is the hardest thing on a listing to fake. We read it from the USPTO register, not from the packaging.
No ownership interest recorded outside the United States. We raise a flag when the owner of record sits in a jurisdiction with a history of pet-food contamination enforcement, because “Made in USA” on the front of a jar says nothing about who owns the formula.
How we counted this
Exact-wordmark search of the USPTO trademark register, accepted only when the wordmark matches the brand exactly and the goods are supplement-related.
Origin, recalls and who makes it
Partly checkedMade in the USA per the label. No recall or adverse-event record found in the FDA's animal database.
The manufacturer is not named on the packaging, so we could not verify who makes it. Checked: FDA animal adverse-event database, recall notices, the printed origin claim, and the NASC member register — no NASC membership found for this brand.
