The AD is for older dogs or more active dogs. I have 4 Golden Retrievers and have used the AD formula for years. My dogs are 8,10,11,12. My oldest golden was 18 1/2 yrs old when he died. I have golden for 30 yrs...healthy golden. I give some other supplements as well.

OF is original formula, the AF is the advanced formula. The advanced formula has a few extras in it, but its more expensive also. I have always just used the original formula because my dogs are still pretty young in dog years.

Given daily, Pet-Tabs OF (Original Formula) provides a dietary source of vitamins and minerals to support your dog's good health and proper energy levels. Pets readily accept the liver- flavored chewable tablets and look forward to receiving their daily vitamin. For older, more active, or working dogs, try Pet-Tabs Plus AF (Advanced Formula). This formula has a higher potency of specific vitamins and minerals compared to the original formula. Easy-to-administer tablets can be fed directly like a reward or crumbled and mixed with food

According to their website, AF (advanced formula) has extra ingredients for what they call "more boost". OF is obviously original formula. Honestly, I have been giving my dogs plain PetTabs for years with good results. Feed your dogs organic food like Dick VanPattens Organic dog food. It's "people grade" food and the best. Hope this helps.

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.

Pet Tabs OF is original formula. Pet Tabs AF IS Advanced Formula. Advanced formula is for active and older dogs and costs more than original formula. Also the dosages are a little different by weight of the dog.

That is what is recommended and that's what I do, but I have always had smaller dogs (largest being about 30 lbs.) It does seem like a lot per dog but they are relatively inexpensive and a 1000 tablet bottle will last a long time. I currently have 9 dogs and give 13 pills daily and a bottle lasts me about 3 months. The product really does work I have used it for over 25 years and only once in all those years did I ever have a flea problem and I have always have multiple dogs (anywhere from 5 to 13 at any given time) and also live in a rural wooded area. I swear by them and I think it would be worthwhile giving them a try. They also improve coat and skin conditions. Hope I was of some help to you.

I know that one is superior to the other but to be honest, I can't recall which one it is....especially since labels have been redesigned over the years. In any case, Nutrical is such a great product that it doesn't matter which one you use...they both work well to restore vitality to a fading puppy or an aging dog. I hope this helps!

I ordered the Pet Tabs with calcium by mistake once. We usually use the AF formula. It probably does work and I'm sure it had calcium in it because they were much harder to break in half for out 15 LB doxies. (They get 1/2 a tab with each meal -2 times a day). The one question to ask maybe would be: ..What type of calcium is it? My Dr has told "me" to get calcium "citrate" as it is easier to absorb. Ask your Vet and check the ingredients. I will say we LIKE Pet Tabs and the were originally recommended by our Vet. Buying them on Amazon is a cost effective way to get them. Especially true if you are a Prime member! « I ordered the Pet Tabs with calcium by mistake once. We usually use the AF formula.

Our instructions calls for 1.5 tabs, twice a day, with meals. We used to put tabs in dry kibble. Then pup got wise and started spitting out the tabs. Switched to grinding tabs into powder, then sprinkling on top of kibble. Unhappy with amount of powder left in bottom of food bowl, so "rounded off" dosage to two tabs per meal. We sprinkle1 teaspoon of water onto dry kibble and shake the bowl to distribute the moisture before adding powder. Still have some leftover powder in bowl, but figure pup now gets closer to 1.5 tabs per meal in her tummy!

They are personalized for your dog, so it would just depend on if you didn't care if they both had the same name etc. You could check with the vendor and see if they will do different information on each one.

I'm not sure if I reviewed the wrong item. I purchased the 8-panel pen, where each section is taller than it is wide (approx 3 ft tall by 2 ft wide.) This 4-panel version appears to be the opposite, where the panels are wider than they are tall (appears to be about 3 ft wide and 2 ft tall.) The material and functionality are the same, however, so my review would be the same! Just purchase the size that best suits your needs. If your dogs are small and/or do not jump, the shorter one should work fine! But I personally think I have more flexibility with the 8 panels that are taller!

I'm not sure. My vet recommended this for my dog, but they only had the tablets. My dog did not like he taste of the tablets and I had to mix them with food. This is the same only in the chew tab. My dog loves it. He eats 1/2 tab daily. It was a lot cheaper on Amazon than from my vet. I believe it's from the manufacture. Hope this helps.

For my cats I used both. They work wonders. All the same. I look for bargains and buy the 6 pack. It stopped aggression in my cats and from speaking on my floor. I'll always use this product.

I bought this software but I am having difficult to locate the "TAB #1" they say is found on the software box. I am looking at the bar coded sticker like label. Is that the one? Let me know. Thanks.

I think you would be OK with the smaller one- I have a larger one and a smaller one and I like the smaller one for my kitties and also for the faces of my big dogs. I think the blue one will work just fine for your pup!!

I don't know. I got the Pet Plus because I was cleaning a carpet to remove my dogs urine spots. Whether it is better or not I have no idea. Often the only difference is the marketing for many products. Professional sounds stronger to non pet owners and pet plus sounds like it is made for the job if you own a dog or cat, but I'll bet the only difference is the label. The Pet plus was excellent. That is all I truly know.

I am no expert answering things like this, but in my opinion, the purpose of the 'pill pocket' is to administer meds to your pet- dog or cat- and if the cat likesthe 'dog' one, or vice-versa, use the cheaper of the two- at least it still does the job! These treats are vet-approved, so I'm sure they are fine for any pet.

Yes. The bottle states if desired you can reduce the amount to the maintenance level, but that is optional. We have been keeping our German Shepherd on the 2 tablets and he's doing great. Our vet even said that it is fine to keep them on the 2 tablets.

I am also a small door Staywell customer, I see the prior responses, ask them for clarification on the brand, as the "Petsafe" company now also produces the "Staywell" brand doors. There may be a difference between a Petsafe "petsafe" door, and the Petsafe "Staywell" door.

I took the bottle to my vet and she said she would use it on her own dog. I ordered the pet version, but she said I was just paying for extra "glycerin" and she would be okay with using the human version for my small (14 to 22 lbs.) dogs.
