Ingredients & Science
What's Inside Matters
We don't believe a long ingredient list automatically makes a better product. We focus on purpose, quality, and transparency.
Our Formulation Philosophy
Our formulas are developed with manufacturers and formulation professionals to evaluate ingredient compatibility, stability, palatability and appropriate use in canine nutritional products.
For ingredients such as omega-3s, we seek meaningful information about actual EPA and DHA content rather than relying only on the total amount of fish oil. For probiotics, strain selection, potency and stability matter. For peptides and collagen, the quality and characteristics of the raw material matter.
For standardized ingredients, we want to know the actual active ingredient — not simply the weight of the carrier material. Because what's inside the chew matters more than what's written on the front of the bottle.
Omega-3 Sourcing
We seek meaningful EPA and DHA content information rather than relying only on total fish oil weight — because the active fractions are what matter.
Probiotic Integrity
Strain selection, potency and stability are evaluated. Not all probiotics are equal — the specific strains and their viability at time of use matter.
Peptide Quality
For peptides and collagen, the quality and characteristics of the raw material matter. We evaluate source, hydrolysis method, and molecular weight profile.
Standardized Actives
For standardized botanical ingredients, we want to know the actual active ingredient content — not simply the weight of the carrier or extract material.
