Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Animal Essentials different from other pet supplement brands?

Animal Essentials crafts all-natural, herbal formulas using ethically sourced ingredients and small-batch production methods. Our supplements are developed by experts in holistic animal care and backed by decades of experience.

Are your products safe for both dogs and cats?

Yes, most of our products are formulated for use in both dogs and cats. Always check the label for species-specific usage and follow dosing guidelines based on your pet’s weight.

How do I choose the right supplement for my pet?

We recommend browsing by concern (e.g., digestion, immune support, stress) or using our product guides. If you're unsure, consult your veterinarian or reach out to our team for guidance.

How long before I see results?

Some products offer short-term support, while others are designed for long-term wellness. Results can vary based on the pet’s age, condition, and individual response. Consistent daily use is key.

Can I give multiple supplements at the same time?

Yes, many of our products are designed to work together. However, it’s best to introduce new supplements gradually and consult with your vet if your pet is on medication or has complex health issues.

Are your products NASC certified?

Yes. Animal Essentials is proud to carry the NASC Quality Seal, which ensures our products meet the highest standards for safety, quality, and transparency.

What’s the difference between your tonics, powders, and capsules?

All formats deliver the same high-quality ingredients. Tonics are liquid herbal extracts for fast absorption, powders are great for mixing with food, and capsules offer a convenient, mess-free option.

How should I store Animal Essentials products?

Store supplements in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not required unless stated otherwise on the label.

Can I use Animal Essentials products with prescription medications?

Many of our products can be used alongside medications, but we always recommend consulting your veterinarian, especially if your pet has a medical condition or is taking pharmaceuticals.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently ship within the United States and select international destinations. Please check our shipping policy for details.

What if my pet doesn’t like the taste?

Our products are formulated to be as palatable as possible using natural ingredients. If needed, you can try mixing the product with food or a small treat.

How do I contact customer support?

You can reach us via our website’s contact form or by emailing support@animalessentials.com. We're happy to help with product questions, order support, and dosing guidance.

Where are Animal Essentials products made?

All of our supplements are crafted in the USA in FDA-registered, GMP-compliant facilities with strict quality control.

Why do some of your supplements contain alcohol?

Alcohol is a necessary part of the extraction process for certain herbs. It helps draw out and preserve the active compounds that give the formulas their therapeutic benefits. We use food-grade alcohol in very small amounts, and it is safe when used as directed.
