⚖️ Why We Also Use Added Nutrients (Yes—Some Are Synthetic)
Here’s where most brands stay quiet.
👉 We won’t.
Even with high-quality, real ingredients, it is extremely difficult to meet all of a dog’s nutritional requirements consistently without supplementation.
That’s why we include targeted vitamins and minerals to ensure:
- Complete nutrition
- Consistency from batch to batch
- Proper nutrient ratios
🔬 Functional Minerals & Additives (What They Do)
These support balance in the body:
- Tricalcium Phosphate → Calcium + phosphorus for bones
- Potassium Citrate / Potassium Chloride → Electrolyte balance
- Magnesium Sulfate → Muscle + nerve function
- Sodium Bicarbonate → Acid-base balance
- Mono-Potassium Phosphate → Cellular energy support
🧠 Essential Amino Acids
- L-Tryptophan → Supports mood, behavior, and serotonin production
👉 This ties directly into:
- Calmness
- Emotional balance
- Behavioral health
🧪 Fiber Support
- Powdered Cellulose
👉 Helps regulate digestion and stool consistency
(especially important for consistency across batches)
💊 Vitamin & Mineral Supplements (Transparency Section)
These are the nutrients often labeled “synthetic”—but they serve an important purpose.

- Natural ingredients vary in nutrient levels
- Cooking can reduce certain vitamins
- Dogs require very specific nutrient levels
👉 These ensure your dog gets complete and balanced nutrition every time
