Question 3

Is citrus bad for cats?

Accepted Answer

We understand there is some confusion around citrus for animal consumption. While citrus in high levels can be toxic for some pets, citrus pulp is an approved ingredient that can be and often is used in dog and cat foods, supplements and treats. The citrus pulp in the pet food industry is the end product, once the juice and oils have been extracted. Citrus pulp is a good source of soluble and insoluble fiber in cat products to help move hairballs through the digestive tract.

Question 4

How much of the PetHonesty supplements do I give my dog?

Accepted Answer

Recommended serving amounts can always be found on the back of the jar label or on the Pet Honesty website product listing images. Standard serving size across most of our dog chews are:

Chews (daily):

25 lbs or less: 1 chew
26-75 lbs: 2 chews
76 lbs or more: 3 chews

The best thing to do however is to follow the directions on the back of the bottle. We recommend slowly introducing any new product to your pup's daily regimen. Some customers have found it best to split their chew portions throughout the day, while others prefer to give the full amount at one time.

If you have a particularly large breed of dog (100lbs+) and 3 chews does not seem sufficient feel free to increase the daily chew amount to 4 chews.

Question 5

Why did you stop sending a pump with the Oils?

Accepted Answer

Over the years we have received many complaints about the broken Measuring Cups and Pumps that were used for our oils. So many in fact that we researched better ways to package and ship the oils to our customers. As a result, in 2023 to early 2024, we switched to Disc Caps. This allows for better shipping, less leaks and no worries about broken dispensers. This also allowed us to update the serving size measurements on the bottle labels to something more household friendly, teaspoons! 

We recommend 1/4 tsp daily for every 10lbs of weight.

10 lbs = 1/4 tsp

20 lbs = 1/2 tsp

30 lbs = 3/4 tsp

40 lbs = 1 tsp

Question 6

Where are your ingredients sourced?

Accepted Answer

Pet Honesty is committed to providing high-quality products with natural and other premium ingredients. Our products are made with responsibly and globally sourced ingredients. We partner with trusted suppliers to obtain quality ingredients that are used in the human and animal food industries, and are confirmed to meet the FDA Federal Regulations. You can learn more about our ingredients and safety here.

Question 7

What is Hemp and how are Hemp and Marijuana different?

Accepted Answer

Hemp is a versatile plant belonging to the Cannabis sativa species. It has been cultivated for various purposes for thousands of years. Hemp is known for its fibrous stalks, seeds, and leaves. It contains low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. Hemp is used in diverse industries, including textiles, paper, food, and wellness products, due to its nutritional content and potential health benefits.

Hemp and marijuana are both varieties of the Cannabis plant. Hemp-derived supplements for pets typically contain very low THC levels, which means it is non-psychoactive, while marijuana may have higher THC levels, causing psychoactive effects. We always urge you to consult with a vet before introducing any new supplements to your pet's diet.

Question 13

Is Hydrolyzed Yeast Bad for Dogs?

Accepted Answer

Hydrolyzed yeast is generally considered safe for dogs when used appropriately and in moderation. However, as with any supplement or ingredient, it's essential to consider individual factors such as the dog's health status, existing medical conditions, and dietary sensitivities.

Here are some points to consider regarding the safety of hydrolyzed yeast for dogs:

Allergies or Sensitivities: While hydrolyzed yeast is less likely to cause allergic reactions than whole yeast, some dogs may still be sensitive to certain components of hydrolyzed yeast. If your dog has a known allergy or sensitivity to yeast or yeast-derived products, it's essential to consult with a veterinarian before introducing hydrolyzed yeast supplements into their diet.

Digestive Tolerance: Hydrolyzed yeast is designed to be more easily digestible than whole yeast due to its smaller protein molecules. However, some dogs with sensitive digestive systems may still experience gastrointestinal upset when introduced to new ingredients. It's advisable to introduce hydrolyzed yeast gradually and monitor your dog's response for any signs of digestive discomfort.

Quality and Source: The quality and source of hydrolyzed yeast can vary among manufacturers. It's important to choose supplements from reputable brands that prioritize quality control and use high-quality ingredients. This can help minimize the risk of contamination or the presence of unwanted substances in the supplements.

Consultation with a Veterinarian: Before adding any new supplement to your dog's diet, including hydrolyzed yeast, it's advisable to consult with a veterinarian. A veterinarian can evaluate your dog's health status, dietary needs, and any potential risks or contraindications associated with the supplement. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your dog's specific requirements.

In summary, while hydrolyzed yeast is generally safe for dogs, it's important to consider individual factors and consult with a veterinarian before incorporating it into your dog's diet. By taking appropriate precautions and monitoring your dog's response, you can help ensure the safety and efficacy of any dietary supplements you provide to your furry friend.

Question 22

Understanding Calming Supplements for Pets: What You Need to Know

Accepted Answer

As loving pet owners, we often strive to provide our furry friends with the best care possible, especially when they experience anxiety or stress. Calming supplements have become popular options for both dogs and cats, offering a natural way to promote relaxation. In this article, we'll explore how these supplements work and discuss the factors that can influence the time it takes for them to be effective.

Calming Supplements for Dogs:

Calming supplements for dogs come in various forms, including treats, chews, and liquids. The time it takes for these supplements to work can vary based on factors such as the product's ingredients, the dog's size, age, and overall health.

Ingredients Matter:
- Different calming supplements contain various ingredients, such as chamomile, valerian root, and L-tryptophan. The combination of these ingredients plays a role in how quickly the supplement takes effect.
- For some dogs, calming supplements may start to show results within 30 minutes to an hour, while others may require several days of consistent use.
Dosage and Administration:
- It's important to follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions provided by the supplement's manufacturer.
- Consistency is key. Regular use of the supplement as directed can lead to more noticeable and sustained calming effects.
Consult Your Veterinarian:
- Before introducing any calming supplement to your dog's routine, it's advisable to consult with your veterinarian. They can offer personalized advice based on your dog's specific needs and health conditions.

Calming Supplements for Cats:

Cats, like dogs, can also benefit from calming supplements when faced with anxiety or stress. Similar principles apply to their usage.

Variety of Products:
- Calming supplements for cats are available in forms such as treats, drops, or sprays. Each cat may respond differently to various products.
Patience is Key:
- The time it takes for a calming supplement to work on cats can range from a few minutes to several days.
- Factors such as the cat's temperament, age, and health can influence the speed at which the calming effects become apparent.

Calming supplements can be valuable tools for pet owners seeking to help their dogs and cats manage stress and anxiety. Understanding the factors influencing the time it takes for these supplements to work is crucial for making informed decisions about their use. Always prioritize consultation with your veterinarian to ensure the well-being of your beloved pets.

Question 23

How often do I give my pet their Pet Honesty supplements?

Accepted Answer

For most of our supplements, one time daily is sufficient. There are times though when it may make more sense to give your pet their supplement throughout the day. The suggested serving size on the label is per day, NOT per feeding. For example, if the serving size of a powder supplement is 2 scoops, you would administer only 2 scoops daily, but you can split it between 2 feedings (one scoop per day).

Keep Grass Green and Calming Hemp (original and Premium) are two products we do recommend spreading throughout the day, as their results are more time-sensitive. Hemp Calming's effects typically last between 3-7 hours, depending on your dog.

Many pet parents have also noticed that giving their pet mobility products, works best if they split the daily amount between morning and evening offerings.

It can take up to 4-6 weeks for the full effects to be apparent for some dogs, while others can just take a few days. It is especially important to remain patient and give the full recommended amounts consistently for our joint health and allergy products! Consistency is key!

Question 24

Where do you ship product to?

Accepted Answer

Currently Pet Honesty only sells product in the US and ships within the US and to APO/US military bases.
Canadian residents can order some of our products through Amazon Canada, and they will ship within Canada.
Pet Honesty does not currently sell or ship product outside of the US and Canada. If you see Pet Honesty product available for purchase or shipping outside of the US or Amazon Canada, you should consider that product counterfeit and unauthorized by Pet Honesty.

Question 25

What kind of fish are used in your Omega-3 Fish Oil?

Accepted Answer

Our Omega-3 Fish Oil is made from sardines, mackerel, anchovies and herring. We use oils responsibly sourced from these fish caught in Icelandic waters. They are high in Omega-3's but low in mercury and toxins.

Question 26

Are your products kosher or halal?

Accepted Answer

While our products are premium, or organic if noted on the label, we are not certified kosher or halal.

Question 27

What are the benefits of hemp seed powder and hemp protein?

Accepted Answer

Hemp seed powder and hemp protein offer various nutritional benefits. Hemp seeds are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, protein, fiber, and essential minerals. Hemp protein is a complete protein source, containing all essential amino acids. Both can support muscle growth, boost energy, and contribute to overall well-being. Additionally, they are often considered easily digestible alternatives for those with dietary restrictions, such as dairy or soy allergies.

Question 32

Why is Hydrolyzed Yeast used in Pet Supplements?

Accepted Answer

Hydrolyzed yeast is a specialized form of yeast that has undergone a process called hydrolysis, breaking down its protein and other components into smaller, more easily digestible molecules. This process results in a product rich in bioavailable nutrients and beneficial compounds, making it a valuable ingredient in pet supplements. Here are some of the purposes of hydrolyzed yeast in pet supplements:

Enhanced Digestibility: Hydrolyzing yeast breaks down its protein molecules into smaller peptides and amino acids, which are easier for pets to digest and absorb. This can be particularly beneficial for pets with sensitive digestive systems or those prone to food sensitivities.

Improved Nutrient Absorption: The smaller molecules in hydrolyzed yeast are more readily absorbed by the digestive tract, ensuring that pets can derive maximum nutritional benefit from the supplement. This can help support overall health and well-being in pets, providing essential nutrients for energy, growth, and maintenance of bodily functions.

Immune Support: Hydrolyzed yeast contains various bioactive compounds, such as beta-glucans, nucleotides, and peptides, which have been shown to modulate the immune system and enhance its response to infections and diseases. By including hydrolyzed yeast in pet supplements, manufacturers aim to support the immune health of pets, helping them stay healthy and resilient against illnesses.

Skin and Coat Health: Some studies suggest that hydrolyzed yeast may have beneficial effects on skin and coat health in pets. The nutrients and bioactive compounds in hydrolyzed yeast, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, can help promote healthy skin, reduce inflammation, and improve the condition of the coat, leading to a shinier and softer appearance.

Gut Health: The bioactive compounds found in hydrolyzed yeast, particularly beta-glucans, can also have positive effects on gut health. They may help modulate the gut microbiota, stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, and support the integrity of the intestinal barrier, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal issues and promoting overall digestive health in pets.

Overall, hydrolyzed yeast is a valuable ingredient in pet supplements, offering enhanced digestibility, improved nutrient absorption, immune support, and benefits for skin, coat, and gut health. When included in a well-balanced pet supplement formula, hydrolyzed yeast can contribute to the overall health and well-being of pets, helping them thrive and live their best lives.

Question 34

Garlic Safety in Pet Supplements: What You Need to Know

Accepted Answer

Garlic has long been a topic of discussion when it comes to pet safety. Many pet owners may wonder why it’s sometimes included in supplements, particularly those aimed at flea and tick prevention. In this article, we’ll explore the safety of garlic in pet supplements, how it’s used, and address some frequently asked questions.

Understanding Garlic and Its Uses

Garlic is a member of the Allium family, which also includes onions and leeks. While these foods can offer health benefits for humans, they can be harmful to dogs in larger quantities. However, some pet supplements incorporate garlic in small amounts for its potential benefits, particularly in repelling pests.

Why Is Garlic Included in Some Pet Supplements?

Natural Repellent: Garlic is often touted for its ability to deter fleas and ticks. In small, controlled doses, it may help reduce the likelihood of infestations.
Antioxidant Properties: Garlic contains compounds that may support immune health and offer some antioxidant benefits.
Formulation Balance: Pet supplements are carefully formulated, and garlic may be included as part of a blend of ingredients designed to work together safely.

Garlic can be a confusing ingredient when it comes to pet health. While it’s important to be cautious, garlic in small amounts within well-formulated supplements from trusted brands, can offer benefits without significant risks. Always consult your veterinarian to ensure the safety and health of your furry friend. With the right information, you can make informed choices that keep your pet happy and healthy!

Question 37

I heard only soil based probiotics make it to the gut. Why do your probiotics work if not soil based?

Accepted Answer

We use probiotics called "spore formers" that are hardy and able to survive very harsh conditions, and thus make it to their pet's gut. Many competitors use probiotics that are dead long before the packaging is even opened. We stand behind our label claims and our high quality, and we do regularly testing to ensure this.

Question 38

Why do the chews look and feel different?

Accepted Answer

In 2023 we introduced our Pure Vitality Blend. This blend contains nutrient-rich foods like oats, pumpkin, & sweet potato. These high-fiber ingredients help us make chews that are more consistent in their form, which is why the size, shape, & color will change a bit as we switch to this new formula over the next year.

Question 39

Why don't you add calorie information to your labels?

Accepted Answer

All of our ingestible products are only meant to be supplements to your pets diet, not the main source of calories, fat and protein. The content per dog chew for instance is less than 20 calories, and our cat treats are less than 3 calories each. We always recommend speaking with your veterinarian before introducing any new item to your pet if they have specific health or dietary needs.

Question 40

Accepted Answer

The starting source for our Folic Acid is Triammonia-Pyimidine-Sulphate and P-Amino-Benzoyl Glutamic Acid.

Question 41

Accepted Answer

At this time we can not guarantee any ingredient as being non-GMO. Any "natural" ingredients will be called out as such on the label information. While a good number of the vitamins we use are natural, there are also some that are synthetic just like the ones humans take.

Question 42

Why is hemp used in some Pet Honesty supplements?

Accepted Answer

Hemp is used in pet products for several reasons:

Nutritional Benefits: Hemp is rich in essential nutrients like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, protein, fiber, and minerals, contributing to a pet's overall health.
Complete Protein Source: Hemp protein is a complete source of amino acids, supporting muscle growth and maintenance.
Potential Health Benefits: Some studies suggest that hemp may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, potentially benefiting pets with certain health conditions.
Digestibility: Hemp products are often easily digestible, making them suitable for pets with dietary sensitivities or allergies.
Non-Psychoactive: Hemp-derived products typically have low THC levels, so they offer potential health benefits without causing psychoactive effects in pets.

Always consult with a veterinarian before introducing new supplements to your pet's diet.

Question 44

The Benefits of Using Brewer's Yeast in Pet Supplements?

Accepted Answer

Brewer's yeast is a byproduct of brewing beer. It's commonly used in pet supplements due to its various health benefits:

Nutritional Value: Brewer's yeast is rich in many essential nutrients, including B vitamins (such as B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B9), protein, and minerals like selenium, chromium, and zinc. These nutrients are important for overall health and can contribute to a shiny coat, healthy skin, and strong immune system in pets.

Digestive Health: Brewer's yeast contains probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that support digestive health by maintaining a healthy balance of gut flora. Probiotics can aid in digestion, improve nutrient absorption, and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea and constipation.

Flea and Tick Repellent: Some studies suggest that the taste and odor of brewer's yeast can help repel fleas and ticks when consumed by pets. While not as effective as topical flea and tick treatments, incorporating brewer's yeast into a pet's diet may provide some additional protection against these pests.

Energy Boost: B vitamins found in brewer's yeast play a vital role in energy metabolism, helping pets convert food into energy more efficiently. This can lead to increased vitality and overall energy levels in pets, making it particularly beneficial for active or working animals.

Skin and Coat Health: The nutrients in brewer's yeast, especially B vitamins and minerals like zinc, are essential for maintaining healthy skin and a shiny coat in pets. Regular supplementation with brewer's yeast may help alleviate skin conditions such as dryness, itching, and dull coat.

Immune Support: The immune system relies on various nutrients, including those found in brewer's yeast, to function optimally. By providing essential vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, brewer's yeast can help support the immune system and enhance the body's ability to fight off infections and diseases.

When using brewer's yeast supplements for pets, you should choose products specifically formulated for animals. Additionally, pet owners should be aware that while brewer's yeast is generally safe for most pets, some animals may be allergic to yeast or may experience digestive upset if given too much. Always speak to your veterinarian before giving your pet any new supplement or food.

Question 53

What is a Postbiotic?

Accepted Answer

A postbiotic is a term used to describe the metabolites or byproducts produced by probiotic bacteria during their fermentation process. While probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts, postbiotics are the non-viable components or substances produced by probiotics that also offer health benefits.

Characteristics :

1. Non-Living Substances: Unlike probiotics, which are live microorganisms, postbiotics consist of non-living components such as metabolites, cell wall fragments, and other microbial products.

2. Bioactive Compounds: Postbiotics include various bioactive compounds such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), peptides, organic acids, enzymes, vitamins, polysaccharides, and other metabolites produced during the fermentation process.

3. Stable and Safe: Postbiotics are typically more stable and have a longer shelf life compared to probiotics. They are also generally considered safe for consumption, as they do not contain live microorganisms and are less susceptible to environmental factors.

Health Benefits of Postbiotics:

1. Gut Health: Postbiotics can support gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, modulating the immune response, improving intestinal barrier function, and reducing inflammation.

2. Immune Modulation: Some postbiotics have immunomodulatory effects, helping to regulate the immune system and enhance its response to pathogens while reducing excessive inflammation.

3. Metabolic Health: Certain postbiotics, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), can influence metabolism, energy balance, and insulin sensitivity, contributing to metabolic health and potentially reducing the risk of obesity and metabolic disorders.

4. Anti-inflammatory Effects: Postbiotics may possess anti-inflammatory properties, helping to alleviate inflammation in the gut and other parts of the body, which is beneficial for conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and allergic reactions.

Sources of Postbiotics:

1. Fermented Foods: Many fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, and kombucha contain postbiotics due to the fermentation process by lactic acid bacteria and other probiotic strains.

2. Dietary Supplements: Postbiotics are also available in the form of dietary supplements, including postbiotic formulations and specific postbiotic ingredients extracted from fermented sources.

Postbiotics represent a promising area of research in the field of microbiome and gut health. As non-living microbial products, postbiotics offer several health benefits similar to probiotics, including gut health support, immune modulation, metabolic regulation, and anti-inflammatory effects. Incorporating postbiotics into the diet through fermented foods or supplements may contribute to overall health and well-being, particularly in relation to gut health and immune function.

What is Hemp?

Hemp is a versatile plant belonging to the Cannabis sativa species. Unlike marijuana, it contains low levels of THC, the psychoactive compound. Hemp is prized for its fibrous stalks, seeds, and leaves, making it a valuable resource for various industries.

Hemp protein, derived from the seeds, stands out as a complete source of amino acids. This makes it an excellent choice for supporting muscle growth and maintenance in our pets.

Potential Health Benefits

Research suggests that hemp may offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, potentially benefiting pets dealing with certain health conditions. It's essential to note that hemp-derived products are non-psychoactive, ensuring the well-being of our pets without inducing a "high."

Digestibility and Allergen-Friendly

Hemp products are known for their digestibility, making them suitable for pets with dietary sensitivities or allergies. If your furry friend has specific dietary requirements, hemp might be a gentle and nutritious option.

Responsible Usage

While hemp brings numerous benefits, responsible usage is paramount. Always consult with a veterinarian before introducing new supplements to your pet's diet. Opt for pet-specific hemp products to ensure the right formulation for their needs.

Conclusion

In conclusion, hemp emerges as a remarkable ingredient with the potential to enhance the well-being of our beloved pets. From its nutritional richness to its non-psychoactive nature, hemp opens doors to a new realm of pet care. As pet owners, let's embrace the possibilities and prioritize the health and happiness of our furry companions.
