Pick by the problem you are solving, not by the ingredient list. Immune and gut support is Turkey Tail+. Itchy skin is Scratch Buddy or Fleato. Bad breath and dirty teeth is Breath Buddy. Stiff, slowing joints is Zoomy.
Fifth & Fido makes five daily powders. They are all food toppers, they all mix into the bowl, and they are all flavored so picky dogs will eat them. What separates them is the job. This guide walks through how to choose, what each one is not for, and what to do when your dog has more than one thing going on.

My dog scratches constantly. Scratch Buddy or Fleato?
Scratch Buddy if the itching is year-round or tied to seasons and you want the broadest gut-first formula. Fleato if the itching spikes in flea season and you want a garlic-free option alongside your vet's prevention.
They overlap on purpose, but they are built differently. Scratch Buddy takes the gut-skin route: fish collagen and krill peptide for omega-3s, bovine colostrum with 2 billion CFU of probiotics for gut flora, and stinging nettle with quercetin to help maintain a normal histamine response and a normal inflammatory response. It is labeled for dogs and cats.
Fleato is dogs only, $29.99 for 60 servings, and leans on beta-glucan-tested reishi fruiting body with quercetin, bromelain, and omega-3s from krill meal and flaxseed rather than a fish oil pump. It is garlic-free.
One practical tiebreaker: both contain krill, so both contain shellfish. If your dog has a known seafood sensitivity, neither is the right pick — talk to your veterinarian first.
More on this: food sensitivity vs seasonal itching and garlic-free vs garlic-based flea supplements.
My dog's breath is terrible. Does a powder actually help?
A daily powder supports the routine between veterinary cleanings. It does not remove hardened tartar — that needs a veterinarian under anesthesia.
Breath Buddy is built for the pets that make brushing impossible. Per scoop it carries brown algae 1,000 mg, zeolite 400 mg, pomegranate powder 300 mg, L-glutamine 200 mg, cranberry powder 100 mg, marshmallow root 100 mg, perilla seed extract 100 mg and chamomile 75 mg. One tub is 30 servings.
The design choice worth knowing: it deliberately leaves out the very high-CFU probiotic blends that most dental powders lead with, because those are a common cause of loose stool when a pet starts a new topper. Fifth & Fido calls that its Gentle Formula.

My dog is slowing down on walks. Zoomy or Turkey Tail+?
Zoomy, if the change is in how your dog moves. Turkey Tail+, if the change is in overall energy and you want general daily support.
Zoomy helps maintain joint mobility and flexibility and supports a healthy inflammatory response, going past glucosamine alone with Lion's Mane and Cordyceps. It is beef-flavored, veterinarian formulated and made in the USA. Turkey Tail+ is the general daily topper: 500 mg Turkey Tail extract, 50 mg Reishi extract and 20 mg Lactobacillus acidophilus per serving, supporting immune function and healthy gut flora.
A dog that has genuinely stopped wanting to walk, or that yelps, limps, or resists being touched, needs a veterinary exam before any supplement. A powder supports a normal, healthy dog. It does not diagnose anything.
Do you make anything for cats?
Two of the five: Breath Buddy and Scratch Buddy are labeled for dogs and cats. Turkey Tail+, Zoomy and Fleato are dogs only.
For cats, mixing into wet food is what works — the bacon flavor is doing the persuading. Our cat supplement buyer's guide goes deeper.
The 60-second decision checklist
- Name the one thing that changed. Scratching, breath, movement, or energy. Start there, not with the ingredient panel.
- Check the species line. If you have a cat, your choices are Breath Buddy and Scratch Buddy.
- Check for allergens. Scratch Buddy and Fleato contain krill. Breath Buddy contains no fish and no shellfish — brown algae is a seaweed.
- Check the flavor against your dog. Four are bacon. Zoomy is beef.
- Rule out the vet questions first. A lump, a limp, broken skin, hardened tartar, a diagnosed condition or any prescription medication — that conversation happens with your veterinarian before a supplement, not instead of one.
- Give it a fair run. Daily, consistently, mixed into food. Individual pets vary.
What if my dog needs more than one?
Common, and the products are formulated to sit alongside each other rather than duplicate. The one caution is that Turkey Tail+, Scratch Buddy and Breath Buddy all contain turkey tail mushroom, so stacking all three means stacking that ingredient. We wrote a whole guide on combining daily toppers sensibly: can you give a dog more than one supplement at once?
