Buddy Digestive Boost bundle review: salmon oil plus chews

The Buddy Digestive Boost Bundle pairs salmon oil with the brand’s probiotic chew, covering gut health and skin and coat in two different formats. Buddy’s chews are among the best-rated in this category, which gives the bundle a solid foundation.

Why two formats helps

The underrated advantage here isn’t the two ingredients, it’s the two delivery methods.

Chews fail with dogs that pick them out of the bowl. Oil fails with dogs put off by the smell. Having both means that if one doesn’t land, you still have something that works, rather than a full tub of rejected product.

The ingredients are a sensible pairing too. Salmon oil supplies EPA and DHA for skin and coat; the probiotic works on the gut. They don’t overlap, which is more than can be said for most bundles in this category.

Fish oil needs looking after

This is the part owners get wrong, and it matters more in a Philippine kitchen than a temperate one.

Fish oil oxidises. Heat and air turn it rancid, and rancid oil isn’t merely less effective, it’s actively worse for your dog than skipping it. Keep it sealed, keep it cool, refrigerate it once opened if you can, and smell it before each use. If it smells sharp or paint-like rather than of fish, bin it.

Set expectations on timing as well: coat changes follow the hair growth cycle, so give omega-3 four to six weeks before judging.

Is it worth it?

Around ₱899 as of August 3, 2026 for both. Check the latest price on Shopee.

That’s more than double the 120-chew tub on its own, so the bundle only makes sense if you actually want the coat support. The rating rests on a small number of owner ratings, though the brand’s other products have far more behind them.

Who should buy it

Buy this if your dog has a dull or itchy coat alongside an unreliable stomach, or if you want a fallback format in case one is refused. If the coat is fine, buy the probiotic tub alone and save the difference. Persistent itching that’s severe or spreading needs a vet rather than a supplement.

Alternatives to consider

Just want the gut half at the best price? The Buddy probiotic chew 120-count tub is far cheaper. Want coat support in treat form instead of oil? The Supremacy Omega Plus dog treats target skin and coat in a beef-flavored chew.
