Using the product

How much should I give my dog?

One to three scoops daily, based on weight. Under 25 lbs is one scoop, 25 to 50 lbs is two scoops, and over 50 lbs is three scoops. A measuring scoop is included in every jar.

How do I give it to them?

Mix it into their favorite wet or dry food once a day.

Should I start with a full dose?

Start with half the recommended dose for the first week so your dog's gut has time to adjust to the probiotics, then move to the full dose in week two. A little gas or softer stool during that first week is normal and usually passes.

My dog has gas or loose stool after starting. Is that normal?

It's common in the first week while the gut adjusts to new probiotics, and it usually settles on its own. Starting at half the recommended dose makes it less likely. If it continues past the first week or seems severe, stop and talk to your veterinarian.

What if my dog won't eat it?

Try splitting the daily dose across two meals. Smaller amounts mixed in are less noticeable, and most dogs adjust within a few days. If they're still not interested, contact us.

Can I split the dose between meals?

Yes. The daily total is what matters, so splitting it across two meals is fine if that works better for your dog.

How long does one jar last?

That depends on your dog's size. A jar is 60 days for dogs under 25 lbs, 30 days for 25 to 50 lbs, and 20 days for dogs over 50 lbs.

How soon will I see a difference?

The first week is an adjustment period — a little gas or softer stool is normal while your dog's gut gets used to new probiotics. Digestion should start to settle and breath should start to freshen in week two, with digestion and oral health both noticeably better by week three.

Hip and joint support takes a little longer to build up. By week four you may notice less stiffness in the mornings and more willingness to play, with studies showing the greatest comfort improvements typically after 60 to 90 days of consistent daily use.

Ingredients and safety

What's actually in it?

Eleven active ingredients working across three systems: glucosamine HCl, chondroitin, MSM and green-lipped mussel for hips and joints; multi-strain probiotics, prebiotic fiber and organic pumpkin for digestion; organic kelp and organic parsley for dental health; bromelain, which supports both digestion and dental health; and real beef bone broth throughout. Every dose is printed on the label.

Is it human grade?

Yes. Every ingredient meets the same quality and standard as the meals you put on your own family's table.

Are there fillers?

No binders, no glycerin, no added sugar, no artificial flavors. Every scoop is active formula.

Why powder instead of a chew?

Chews need binders, glycerin and heat to hold their shape — up to 65% of a chew can be non-active ingredients, and the baking process kills a significant portion of live probiotics. Powder skips all of that.

Is it safe for puppies?

Talk to your veterinarian before starting any supplement with a puppy, since growing dogs have different needs.

Is it safe for senior dogs?

Yes, and seniors are often who it helps most. Check with your vet first if your dog has an existing condition or takes medication.

Can I give it alongside my dog's other supplements or medication?

Check with your veterinarian first. Some ingredients overlap with other supplements, and your vet can tell you whether the combination makes sense.

Does it contain chicken or fish?

No chicken and no fish.

What if my dog has food sensitivities?

Our formula contains beef bone broth and green-lipped mussel, a shellfish. If your dog is sensitive to beef or shellfish, talk to your vet before starting.

How should I store it?

Store in a cool, dry location with the lid closed. Avoid heat and direct sunlight.
