Brand frame

What AlchemyPet is

Human grade liquid dog supplements designed to make daily pet wellness easier, more effective, and more compelling at shelf.

Liquid topper

Pump directly onto food.

Meal time ritual

Built into a routine pet parents already have.

Less friction

No pills, powders, capsules, or messy scoop mixing.

The core insight

It is often not just the ingredient.

It is the delivery of ingredients that matters.

Training objective: make the delivery problem easy for store teams to explain in one or two sentences.

Rep translation

"Many supplements are limited by how well the actives survive digestion and absorb. AlchemyPet was built around better delivery, not just more ingredients."

The problem

Most supplements fail before they ever work

O₂

Powders

Can oxidize.

°F

Chews

Can degrade in heat.

pH

Fragile actives

Can hit stomach acid too early.

It is not an ingredient problem. It is a delivery problem.

The solution

We solved it with seaweed based microencapsulation

1

Wrap

Each active is wrapped in an alginate microsphere derived from seaweed.

2

Protect

The shell helps protect and stabilize compounds through digestion.

3

Release

The shell dissolves in the lower GI, releasing the actives where absorption is optimal.

Intact alginate microsphere protecting the active inside
Intact: the alginate shell protects the actives through the stomach.
Alginate microsphere dissolving in the lower GI to release the active
Dissolving: it breaks down in the lower GI, releasing the actives where absorption is optimal.

Same ingredients. Dramatically better absorption.

The differentiator

Up to 7x greater bioavailability

1x up to 7x Conventional formats AlchemyPet delivery
How to say it

The 7x absorption claim is not a loose marketing phrase. It is grounded in microencapsulation science and supported by the technical rationale in the science backing materials.

Retail meaning

The delivery advantage is what makes the story click.

The format

Liquid, cold processed, and easy to love

Cold processed for purity

No heat driven degradation story to explain.

No unnecessary fillers

A cleaner, more modern supplement format.

No microplastics

A clean label point that matters to label readers.

Palatable by design

Encapsulation helps keep actives from dominating taste.

Retail story

Why it resonates at shelf

Easy Meal Time Topper Ritual. Clinically Driven Formulas. Up to 7x Better Absorption.

The customer who gravitates toward AlchemyPet reads labels. They have often tried two or three supplement formats, seen inconsistent results, and are now asking better questions.

When the delivery problem gets explained, it clicks immediately.

Category context

Liquid toppers are becoming a recognizable ritual

The category signal

Newer pet brands are moving into liquid topper and drizzle formats, validating the meal time liquid addition as an emerging customer behavior.

AlchemyPet's distinction

AlchemyPet combines that easy ritual with functional supplement formulas, proprietary delivery technology, and veterinary credibility.

Simple ritual plus science backed delivery.

Veterinary credibility

Vet validation gives retail customers a reason to trust what they see on shelf.

Understanding the Calming formula

Calming leads with two well known actives working together: melatonin and L-theanine. Here is what they do, why they belong in the formula, and a little context on the 2025 melatonin conversation in case a customer asks.

Melatonin

The body's own sleep and rest signal.

  • Supports the natural sleep and wake cycle, helping a dog settle and rest.
  • Commonly used in integrative practice for situational stress like storms, travel, and time alone.
  • Carries antioxidant properties as part of its role in the body.
  • A familiar, widely used calming aid that pet parents already recognize.

L-theanine

Calm focus without drowsiness.

  • An amino acid known for supporting a relaxed, settled state.
  • Works alongside melatonin to support the nervous system and stress response.
  • Pairs the restfulness of melatonin with steady, alert calm.
Dosage and delivery

Calming uses a measured 0.67mg serving of melatonin, far less than many competitive products, within a broader calming formula. Seaweed based microencapsulation is designed to support protected delivery and a more gradual release over a longer duration.

Calming is our top selling formula at the veterinary level.

On the 2025 conversation

As often happens with any active, a 2025 study raised some discussion about melatonin. Here is the context, so you can speak to it easily if a customer brings it up.

  • The discussion centers on long term melatonin use in humans.
  • The findings are preliminary and do not establish cause and effect.
  • The research is not canine specific.
  • Detailed health questions should be directed back to AlchemyPet or a veterinarian.
Talk track

A simple three step retail conversation

1

Start with use

"It is a liquid topper you pump onto food at meal times."

2

Explain the problem

"Many supplements struggle because ingredients (actives) do not survive digestion well."

3

Land the distinction

"AlchemyPet uses seaweed based microencapsulation to help protect and deliver those actives for up to 7x better absorption."

Make it feel easy first, then smart.

Objection handling

Quick answers for common questions

Why liquid?

It fits naturally at meal times and removes the friction and purity issues of chews, pills, powders, and capsules. No messy scoops or mixing.

Why premium price?

It is a functional supplement line built around targeted formulas and proprietary delivery technology, not just a flavor topper.

What does 7x mean?

It points to the absorption advantage supported by the microencapsulation science materials.

What about melatonin?

Our low dose of 0.67mg per serving is microencapsulated to help protect delivery and support a more gradual release over a longer duration. It works alongside L-theanine in the broader calming formula.

Who is the customer?

A label reader who has likely tried other formats and is looking for a smarter daily wellness solution.
