Garlic, like onions and leeks, belongs to the Allium family. In very large amounts it can be harmful to dogs, but the levels used in D33 are extremely small and carefully measured for safety.

To put this in perspective, a medium-sized dog would need to consume dozens of whole cloves at once to reach a potentially harmful level. D33 contains less than a thousandth of that amount per scoop — a tiny inclusion well within recognised safe limits.

We add garlic in this trace quantity for its traditional use in canine nutrition. It’s all about the dose — and ours is designed to be safe.

There’s some online discussion about kale and kidney stones in dogs. The concern relates to oxalates, which are mainly an issue in very large, raw servings.

At the carefully balanced level included in D33, kale is considered safe and provides natural vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants as part of a varied diet.

As with any ingredient, it’s less about whether dogs can have it, and more about how much is used and how it complements the rest of their nutrition.

Some discussions mention that flax contains natural compounds such as phytoestrogens, which can sound concerning. In reality, ground flaxseed is widely recognised as a safe ingredient for dogs when used in moderate amounts.

It’s a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids and fibre, which can help support healthy skin, coat condition, and normal digestion. D33 includes only 165mg per scoop — a small, balanced amount well within safe levels.

Spirulina is a nutrient-dense blue-green algae. Quality matters, which is why we only use spirulina that has been lab-tested for purity and safety.

It provides natural phytonutrients, antioxidants, and protein, and has been studied for its potential role in supporting vitality and immune function. D33 includes just 120mg per scoop — a small, balanced amount within safe levels.

Yes — the mushrooms we use are safe and carefully chosen. The concern you may hear about mushrooms usually relates to wild, foraged varieties, which can indeed be toxic. D33 only includes cultivated functional mushrooms that are food-grade, researched, and tested.

We use whole-food mushroom powders rather than extracts, in small, balanced amounts as part of a varied diet. These have a long history of traditional use in food and wellness, and have been studied for their potential role in supporting everyday wellbeing.

No fads, just real functional foods that contribute to a broad and balanced nutritional profile.

Hemp seeds are safe, natural, and nutrient-dense. They contain no THC, so they do not affect your dog’s behaviour. We use only cold-pressed, whole hemp seed — a natural source of omega fatty acids, protein, and minerals.

These nutrients help support skin and coat condition, contribute to joint health, and add beneficial fats to your dog’s diet in a form that’s easy to digest.

No buzz, no controversy — just a wholesome seed included for its natural nutritional value.
