You read the labels on your supplements. You care about what you put in your body. So why wouldn’t you hold your dog’s health to the same high standard?

Clean living isn’t just for humans anymore. As more people embrace transparency, quality, and ingredient integrity in their own wellness routines, there’s a growing demand for the same level of care for our four-legged family members. Yet, walk down the pet aisle at your local store, and you’ll find countless products packed with fillers, artificial additives, and unproven ingredients.

It’s time to change that. In this article, we’ll explore:

  • What "clean" really means in the world of supplements

  • Why ingredient quality matters for your dog’s long-term health

  • How to spot red flags on pet supplement labels

  • Why Other Half’s Everyday and Doggie Dental powders set a new gold standard

  • The science behind human-grade, vet-recommended dog nutrition

Let’s break down why your dog deserves the same purity and performance that you do.


What Does “Clean” Really Mean in Dog Supplements?

When we talk about clean supplements for dogs, we’re talking about products that meet five critical standards:

  1. Free from harmful fillers and additives

  2. Made with non-GMO ingredients

  3. Free of artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives

  4. Sourced from high-quality, traceable suppliers

  5. Tested for contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides

These are the same standards conscious humans look for in their own nutrition. And yet, many pet supplements still cut corners with by-products, palm oil, cheap bulking agents, and synthetics that don’t belong in a dog’s bowl.

Why? Because most big brands know the average consumer doesn’t read the fine print.

But you're not average.


Why Ingredient Quality Matters for Your Dog

Your dog’s body processes nutrients differently than yours, but their need for clean, effective ingredients is no different. Poor-quality supplements can lead to:

  • Digestive issues like bloating, gas, and diarrhea

  • Ineffective results, as low-grade ingredients aren’t bioavailable or clinically tested

  • Long-term health risks from contaminants like lead, mercury, or pesticides

  • Allergic reactions from artificial flavors or preservatives

In contrast, clean supplements help:

  • Support digestion, immunity, joints, skin, and more

  • Improve nutrient absorption

  • Maintain energy and vitality

  • Protect organs and systems from long-term damage

If you wouldn’t take a sketchy capsule yourself, why let your dog?


How to Read a Dog Supplement Label Like a Pro

When evaluating any pet supplement, here are a few things to watch for:

Red Flags:

  • Artificial flavors, dyes, or preservatives

  • Palm oil, animal by-products, or generic protein sources

  • Long chemical names with no clinical backing

Green Flags:

  • Human-grade or food-grade ingredients

  • Transparent sourcing and testing information

  • Clinical trials or vet recommendations

  • Short list of inactive ingredients

Transparency is a huge deal. If the brand can’t show you the full ingredient list or testing protocol, run the other way.


Why Other Half Is Setting a New Standard

At Other Half, we believe that what goes into your dog’s bowl should be just as clean, effective, and transparent as what goes into yours.

Everyday: The All-In-One Clean Multivitamin for Dogs

Everyday by Other Half isn’t just another dog supplement. It’s a clinical-grade, vet-formulated, human-quality powder with 45 active ingredients. It supports:

  • Hip & Joint Health with glucosamine, collagen, and turmeric

  • Gut Health with prebiotics and digestive enzymes

  • Allergy Support with quercetin and omega-3s

  • Immunity and Longevity with antioxidants like CoQ10, resveratrol, and lutein

  • Skin, Coat & Vital Organs with vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts

Key Facts:

  • 100% human-grade and non-GMO

  • No fillers, binders, or artificial junk

  • Tasty bacon + pumpkin flavor approved in palatability testing

  • Veterinarian recommended and clinically validated

It’s the supplement equivalent of going from a gas station hot dog to a chef-crafted organic meal.

Doggie Dental: Clean Oral Health Support That Works

Doggie Dental is another standout in the world of clean pet care. Most oral supplements rely on abrasive or chemical agents, but Doggie Dental takes a gut-meets-gum approach with its groundbreaking Canine Oral Health Postbiotic (COHP).

What does it do?

  • Disrupts 98% of oral biofilms (in vitro)

  • Reduces bad breath compounds in 7 days

  • Targets bacteria that cause plaque and tartar

Backed by three independent clinical trials, Doggie Dental is:

  • 100% human-grade

  • No artificial flavors

  • Bacon-flavored and easy to serve daily

  • Designed to work in harmony with Everyday for full-body wellness


Human-Grade vs. Feed-Grade: Why It Matters

Many pet products use what’s called “feed-grade” ingredients. These are ingredients that:

  • Don’t meet human food safety standards

  • Can include by-products, contaminated ingredients, or waste from food processing

  • Are held to lower manufacturing and testing requirements

Human-grade means:

  • Ingredients are safe for human consumption

  • The product is manufactured in a certified facility

  • Testing is rigorous and transparent

At Other Half, both Everyday and Doggie Dental meet human-grade standards from start to finish. Because if we wouldn’t eat it, your dog shouldn’t either.


The Transparency Test

Other Half isn’t just talking the talk. We back it up with:

  • QR-code traceability for testing and ingredient transparency

  • Palatability testing with real dogs

  • Veterinary approval before launch

  • Contaminant testing for heavy metals, plasticizers, and pesticides

  • Satisfaction guarantees for every order

You wouldn’t settle for untested, mystery supplements for yourself. You don’t have to settle for your dog either.


Why Clean Supplements Improve Real Results

Clean ingredients don’t just look good on paper, they perform better in your dog’s body. When ingredients are:

  • Purified

  • Clinically tested

  • Properly dosed

  • Easily absorbed

...the results speak for themselves:

  • Shinier coats

  • Better digestion

  • Fresher breath

  • Increased mobility

  • Fewer allergy flares

  • Happier moods and more energy

It’s not hype. It’s the biology of clean nutrition at work.


A Simple Routine That Works

The best part? Clean supplements don’t have to complicate your life. Other Half makes it easy with a daily, scoopable routine that dogs love:

  • Add Everyday for comprehensive, whole-body support

  • Sprinkle in Doggie Dental for mouth and microbiome health

One scoop each, once per day. That’s it.

Clean ingredients, clinical results, and tail-wagging flavor—all without brushing battles or pill pockets.


Final Wags: Raise the Bar for Your Dog’s Wellness

You care about clean ingredients in your diet because you know they impact how you feel, move, and live. Your dog’s body works the same way. So why give them anything less?

With Other Half’s human-grade, no-compromise formulas, you can:

  • Support your dog’s health with confidence

  • Skip the synthetic fillers and fluff

  • Avoid the hidden junk in mainstream chews and tablets
