Real Food Ingredients That Do More Than Flavor: Why Dogs Love Our Gravy Supplement

Sure, supplements need to be healthy — but they also have to taste good. That’s why we didn’t just focus on active nutrients like glucosamine or probiotics. We built our formula around real food ingredients that add flavor and deliver functional benefits.

From bone broth to apple pectin to oregano, every ingredient in our gravy has a purpose — even the ones that aren’t listed with milligrams.


What Are Inactive Ingredients—and Why Should You Care?

Inactive ingredients are everything in the formula that’s not listed with an active dose, but still plays a role in taste, digestion, texture, or absorption.

In other words, they’re not just fillers. In many cases, they’re the real reason your dog finishes the bowl.

Here are some of the inactive ingredients we use — and what they actually do:


🐓 Chicken Bone Broth + Organic Chicken

Bone broth isn’t just tasty — it’s rich in collagen, amino acids, and trace minerals. It helps support:

  • Joint health

  • Gut lining integrity

  • A meaty aroma that makes picky dogs perk up


🍏 Apples (Juice Concentrate, Puree, Pectin)

We use multiple forms of apple to enhance flavor, fiber, and gut support:

  • Apple pectin aids digestion and helps maintain healthy stool

  • Puree and juice add natural sweetness and antioxidants

  • Bonus: Dogs love the mild fruit flavor


🥥 Coconut Glycerin + Coconut Oil

Coconut-based ingredients keep the gravy texture smooth and palatable, but they also provide:

  • Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for brain and skin health

  • Natural fat source for energy and coat shine


🌿 Oregano

This herb isn’t just for Italian food. In small amounts, oregano may help with:

  • Antioxidant support

  • Natural immune function

  • Shelf stability (it’s mildly antimicrobial)


🍎 Apple Cider Vinegar

A gentle digestive aid that helps balance gut pH and may support healthy microbiota. It also enhances flavor without artificial additives.


🍞 Nutritional Yeast Extract

Adds a savory, cheesy flavor dogs love while providing B vitamins and amino acids that support energy and appetite.


Why It Matters

Inactive doesn’t mean unimportant. The real-food ingredients in our supplement help with:

  • Palatability for picky eaters

  • Digestive comfort

  • Natural nutrient support

  • Texture and stability without synthetic junk


Why We Include Them in Every Serving

We don’t believe in flavor-only formulas. Every ingredient in our gravy has a reason — and if it doesn’t benefit your dog in some way, it doesn’t make the cut.

✅ Real food base: bone broth, apple, coconut
✅ No artificial colors or flavors
✅ Built to taste great and support health


The Bottom Line: Function + Flavor = Results

Supplements only work if your dog eats them. That’s why we combined science-backed actives with a base of real, natural ingredients your dog craves.

💡 Pro tip: If your dog’s picky or turns their nose up at powders and pills, try our gravy — it’s designed to work and taste like food.
