Five formulas. One job each.

Microbiome Care is the daily foundation. Gut Restore, Calming Care, Itch & Immune Care and Metabolic Care each focus on one area of wellbeing. Every one is a powder: no binders, no fillers, no artificial flavours or colours, just a trace of what keeps the powder free-flowing.

Why a powder

More active. Nothing extra.

Plentum is a powder, so there are no binders and no fillers to hold a chew together, no artificial flavours or colours, and just a trace of what keeps it free-flowing. More of every gram is the ingredients you came for.

Plentum powder sachetA typical chew
Binders and fillersNone. A powder does not need them to hold a shape.Usually needed to hold the shape and bulk of the chew.
Flavours, colours, flowNo artificial flavours or colours. Just a trace of what keeps the powder free-flowing, named on the label.Varies by brand. Check the other-ingredients list.
Actives per servingMore of each gram is active: up to 977 mg of actives in one 2 g sachet.Actives share the serving with the chew matrix and flavour base.
DosesEvery dose in mg on the label, ingredient by ingredient.Some labels list a blend total only.
Dosing by weightOne pre-measured 2 g sachet, 1 to 4 a day by weight.Fixed piece sizes and counts.
How it is givenMix into any food: dry, wet or a warm-water gravy.Offered as a treat, or hidden in food.

A fair comparison with typical chews in general, not with any brand. A chew can be a good choice. Compare the label.

A starting point, not a diagnosis. If your dog has a health concern, see your vet first.

Stacking

Using more than one.

Many dogs take Microbiome Care with a targeted formula. Here are the plain rules, and a check for repeated actives.

  1. Start with one.Begin with the formula that matches your dog's main need. You can add a second later, once the first is part of the routine.
  2. Count every sachet.Each formula is dosed by weight on its own, 1 to 4 sachets a day. Two formulas means two doses.
  3. Check what repeats.A few actives appear in more than one formula, so doses add up. The check below shows which, and by how much.
  4. No extra-effect claims.Each formula is made to stand alone. We do not claim that using two together does more than the sum of what is on each label.
  5. Know the cautions.Metabolic Care contains chitosan, which comes from shellfish. Calming Care contains L-tryptophan, so ask your vet if your dog takes medication that acts on serotonin. Colostrum is bovine, and four formulas list brewer's yeast.
  6. Your vet has the final word.Ask before combining if your dog takes medication, has a diagnosed condition, is pregnant or nursing, or reacts to new foods.

Good to know.

Ask your vet first

Talk to your veterinarian before adding a supplement, especially if your dog takes medication, is pregnant or nursing, has a diagnosed condition, or has reacted to new foods. A supplement does not replace veterinary care.
