For Veterinary Professionals

The nutritional gap your
patients carry every day

VitaDog Nutrition's Daily All-in-One was developed over two years with leading nutritionists across Germany, Belgium, and the USA — 25+ formulation rounds resulting in 40+ science-backed active ingredients targeting the functional deficits common to all canine diets.

Even the best diet leaves functional gaps

No base canine diet — regardless of quality — delivers the functional nutrients required for optimal longevity. The deficits are consistent and predictable across feeding modalities.

Feeding Type 01

Kibble & Canned

  • Low or absent EPA/DHA omega-3s (heat destroyed in processing)
  • Minimal vitamin E
  • No probiotic/prebiotic inclusion
  • No botanical actives
  • No joint or oral health actives
VitaDog covers: Omega-3s · Vitamin E · Probiotics · Fiber · Antioxidants · Glucosamine/MSM · Tartar control
Feeding Type 02

Fresh Complete Diets

  • Meets legal minimums but omits functional nutrients
  • Omega-3s below therapeutic range
  • No probiotic culture survival
  • Joint and oral actives absent
  • Antioxidant-dense foods rarely included
VitaDog covers: Anti-inflammatory fats · Gut & immune support · Mobility & oral health · Cellular antioxidants
Feeding Type 03

Raw / DIY / Home-Cooked

  • High risk of outright deficiencies: Ca, Vit D, Zn, Cu, Mn
  • Iodine consistently absent
  • Functional actives universally missing
  • No probiotic or prebiotic support
  • No joint or oral health ingredients
VitaDog covers: Key vitamin/mineral top-ups · Omega-3s · Probiotics · Antioxidants · Glucosamine/MSM

Three pillars. One daily routine.

VitaDog Daily All-in-One is structured around three clinical objectives that address the body systems most impacted by nutritional deficit over time.

01

Systemic Protection

Supports joints, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular function, immune resilience, and cognitive health — the systems that decline most predictably with age and suboptimal nutrition.

Glucosamine MSM Fish Oil Astragalus Quercetin
02

Cellular Nourishment

Delivers EPA/DHA, GLA, MCT fats, and a complete antioxidant profile to support metabolic efficiency, reduce oxidative stress, and maintain membrane integrity at the cellular level.

EPA/DHA Evening Primrose MCT Oil Vitamin E Rosemary Extract
03

Nutrition Gap Coverage

Complements any feeding modality with the essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, adaptogens, and nootropics that no complete base diet reliably provides at functional levels.

459.54mg
Inactive Ingredients Mixed Tocopherols (as natural preservative)

Formulation Rationale

The oil is maintained as a separate component by design. Co-formulating omega fatty acids into a powder degrades EPA/DHA through oxidation and significantly reduces bioavailability. Keeping the oil separate preserves full fatty acid integrity and enables accurate, consistent dosing. Mixed tocopherols serve as natural antioxidant stabilisers.

Bioavailability Enhancement

Black Pepper Extract (piperine) at 5mg per scoop is included specifically to enhance curcumin absorption. Research by Shoba et al. (1998) demonstrated piperine increases curcumin bioavailability by up to 2000% in humans and animals, making the turmeric inclusion clinically meaningful rather than cosmetic.

From veterinary professionals

VitaDog was evaluated by the veterinary leadership team at Santa Barbara Humane — one of the US's highest-performing humane organisations, performing over 100,000 veterinary procedures annually.

"My entire team has looked at your product. It's made in the US, it provides most of the nutrients that animals need just for their daily supplement — to step in for what we're feeding them. And what that does is it keeps the whole body healthy for a longer period of time."

Kerri Burns
CEO · Santa Barbara Humane (est. 1887) · 28 years animal welfare

"I think it is interesting how it is that additive. It's not to take away from anything. You don't have to change your dog's diet — you can just add this. And you're never going to do any harm by giving your dog more of what they need."

Dr. Katy, DVM MS
Chief Veterinary Officer · Santa Barbara Humane · 9 Veterinarians Supervised

"Through the cooking process of dog food, those omegas don't stay naturally in the food. And you can't just buy omegas at the health food store because dogs don't process those omegas the same way. It's not just what you're giving — it's how it's delivered and how their body absorbs it."
