Frequently asked questions

Everything about the formulas, the science, and how to make AlchemyPet part of your dog's daily ritual.

The basics
What is AlchemyPet?+

AlchemyPet is a liquid supplement you pump right onto your dog's food. Our formulas use Swiss-engineered cold-process microencapsulation to protect fragile actives from heat and oxidation, then deliver them deeper in the gut where absorption actually happens. The result is up to 7x greater bioavailability than traditional powders, chews, or capsules.

How do I use it?+

Shake, pump onto your dog's food, done. One daily serving is all it takes, and at only 7 to 9 kcal per serving it fits any diet. Most dogs take to it easily because it goes right on the food they already love.

How long until I see results?+

It varies by dog and by formula, but many owners notice changes within two to four weeks of consistent daily use. Supplements work through consistency, so the daily ritual matters. Results compound the longer you stay with it.

Which formula is right for my dog?+

Start with the concern that matters most: Calming for anxiety, Mobility for joints, Immunity for defense, Clear Sight for aging eyes, or ActivExtend as an everyday longevity foundation. Not sure? Our 60-second quiz matches your dog to the right formula and pairing.

The science
What is microencapsulation, in plain terms?+

Think of it as a protective shell around each active ingredient. We wrap actives in alginate microspheres derived from seaweed, using a cold process that never exposes them to the heat that degrades ingredients in conventional manufacturing. That shell shields the active from stomach acid and oxidation, then releases it deeper in the digestive tract, where your dog's body can actually absorb it.

Where does the "up to 7x greater absorption" claim come from?+

It is supported by peer-reviewed research on microencapsulation delivery systems. The figure reflects the absorption advantage of the delivery science itself. We are careful to separate what the delivery literature shows from finished-product studies, which are part of our ongoing research roadmap. We would rather be precise than overstate.

Are the ingredients backed by research?+

Yes. Wherever possible we chose branded, clinically studied actives over commodity botanicals, so the upstream research is real and traceable. You can see every active and the studies behind them on our science page.

Is it safe? Are there any fillers?+

Our formulations are plant-based, hypoallergenic, and free from heavy metals, fillers, and microplastics. Clean label, no artificials. That said, always consult your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, especially if your dog has a health condition or takes medication.

Using it day to day
Can I give more than one formula at once?+

Yes, and many dogs do best with a pairing. A common approach is one foundational formula (ActivExtend) plus one targeted formula for a specific concern. Our bundles are built around exactly this. If you are combining several, your vet is a good sounding board.

My dog is a picky eater. Will they take it?+

Most do. Because it is a liquid topper that goes right on their existing food, there is no pill to hide or chew to negotiate. We have had picky eaters take to it with no problem, but every dog is different.

How should I store it?+

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Orders & subscriptions
Do you offer subscriptions?+

Yes. Subscribe & Save gets you a discount on every order, delivered on your schedule so you never run out mid-ritual. You can pause, skip, swap, or cancel anytime.

What is your shipping policy?+
