About Perdure & the product
What is Perdure?
Perdure is a dog health brand built on one simple idea: dogs give us everything, and supporting their health is how we give something back. Our first product, The Essential Dog Supplement, is a daily powder you add to your dog’s food to support their joints, coat, gut, energy, teeth and breath, and healthy ageing.
Why a powder instead of a treat, chew or pill?
A powder lets us put more of what actually works into one daily serving, in the right amounts, without the fillers, binders or sugar that treats and chews often need. The Essential mixes straight into your dog’s meal, so there’s no pill to hide and no fuss at the bowl.
What does The Essential support?
The Essential supports six everyday parts of your dog’s health:
Joints: mobility and comfort for everyday movement.
Coat: healthy skin and a shinier coat from the inside.
Gut: balanced digestion and a happier tummy.
Energy: steady vitality for walks and play.
Teeth & breath: cleaner teeth and fresher breath.
Healthy ageing: antioxidant support to help them age well.
Who is The Essential made for?
For dog owners who want to care for their dog’s health beyond food alone. The Essential is designed for healthy adult dogs as a daily routine. If your dog has a specific health condition, your vet is the best place to start.
Where is Perdure made?
The Essential is formulated in Europe and made by a specialist pet-nutrition manufacturer. Before launch, the formula was reviewed by independent veterinary nutrition experts.
Ingredients & formula
What’s in The Essential?
The Essential combines researched ingredients chosen to support joints, coat, gut, energy, teeth and breath, and healthy ageing. You’ll find the full list on the product page and on the back of every pouch.
Are the ingredients natural?
Yes. We choose natural and naturally-derived ingredients, selected for their quality and the evidence behind them. There are no artificial colours and no artificial flavours.
Is The Essential grain-free?
Yes. The Essential is grain-free.
Does The Essential contain artificial colours, flavours or preservatives?
No artificial colours and no artificial flavours. We use only the minimum technical ingredients needed to keep the powder stable, safe and fresh.
Where do you source your ingredients?
We source from established European and international suppliers with full traceability and quality documentation. Every batch is checked before it ships.
What makes The Essential different from other dog supplements?
Three things: it’s one daily powder instead of a cabinet full of products, the serving is matched to your dog’s size, and the formula was reviewed by independent veterinary nutritionists before we launched.
How to use The Essential
How do I give The Essential to my dog?
Scoop one daily serving over your dog’s food, mix it lightly, and serve. It works with dry food, wet food, raw or home-cooked meals.
How much should I give my dog?
The serving depends on your dog’s weight. The dosing table is on the back of every pouch, and there’s a feeding guide on the product page.
When during the day should I give it?
Once a day, with a meal. Most owners add it at breakfast, so it becomes part of the morning routine.
Can I mix it with wet food, dry food or water?
Yes. Dry food, wet food, a little broth or a splash of water all work. Mixing it into food usually goes down best.
Do I need a special scoop?
No special tools. A measuring scoop comes with your first order, and the dosing table on the pouch tells you how much to give.
Should I give it every day?
Yes. The Essential is built to be a daily habit, and most of the benefits build up with consistent use over several weeks.
Suitability
Is The Essential safe for all dogs?
The Essential is formulated for healthy adult dogs weighing at least 2 kg. It is not suitable for puppies or dogs under 2 kg. If your dog is pregnant, nursing, on medication or living with a health condition, check with your vet before you start.
Can I give it to my puppy?
No. The Essential is designed for adult dogs weighing at least 2 kg. It is not suitable for puppies.
Is it suitable for senior dogs?
Yes. The ingredients that support joints, mobility and steady energy are especially relevant as dogs get older. Just follow the dosing table for your dog’s current weight.
Small dog or large dog: do I give the same amount?
No. The serving is matched to your dog’s weight. The pouch and the product page show the daily amount for each size.
Can pregnant or nursing dogs take it?
We don’t recommend starting The Essential during pregnancy or nursing without your vet’s guidance. Mums-to-be and nursing dogs have specific needs that are best overseen by a vet.
My dog is on medication: is it safe?
In most cases, yes, but always check with your vet first. Some ingredients can interact with certain medications, and your vet knows your dog’s full picture.
My dog has a health condition (kidney, liver, diabetes, etc.): can I give it?
Please talk to your vet before starting. We’re happy to share the full ingredient list and amounts so your vet can review them.
I have more than one dog: can they share the same pouch?
Yes. One pouch can be shared across several dogs. Just measure each dog’s serving from the dosing table.
Allergies & sensitivities
Does The Essential contain common allergens?
The Essential contains chicken-derived ingredients, green-lipped mussel and yeast ingredients. If your dog has a known allergy, check the full ingredient list with your vet before use.
My dog has a chicken allergy: can I still give it?
The Essential contains hydrolysed chicken liver protein and chicken collagen. If your dog has a chicken allergy, ask your vet to review the full ingredient list before use.
My dog has a fish or shellfish allergy: is it safe?
The Essential contains green-lipped mussel, a shellfish ingredient. If your dog has a fish or shellfish allergy, ask your vet to review the full ingredient list before use.
Is The Essential gluten-free?
Yes. The Essential is gluten-free.
Results & expectations
How long until I see results?
With consistent daily use, look for changes in your dog’s digestion, coat, breath and mobility over 3–4 weeks. Every dog is different, so keep an eye on the everyday signs that matter to yours.
What changes should I look for?
A shinier coat, easier digestion, steadier energy, fresher breath and smoother movement. Many owners also notice their older dog hesitating less on walks.
What if I don’t see a difference?
With daily use, look for changes over 3 to 4 weeks. If The Essential isn’t right for your dog, contact support@perdure.com. You’re covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I give it long-term, or do I cycle it?
The Essential is made for daily, long-term use, with no cycling needed.
Taste & feeding
Will my dog actually eat it?
Most dogs eat it without a second thought. The powder is made to blend into food and win over even fussy eaters.
What does it taste like?
A mild, natural savoury flavour, made to appeal to dogs without overpowering their meal.
My dog is a picky eater: what should I do?
Start small: mix half a serving into a little wet food or broth for the first few days, then build up to the full amount. If your dog still isn’t keen after two weeks, get in touch.
Quality, safety & testing
Is The Essential vet-formulated?
The Essential was developed with veterinary nutrition input, and the formula was reviewed by independent veterinary nutrition experts before launch.
Is it tested?
Yes. An independent laboratory analysed a sample of The Essential for nutritional composition and heavy metals. The formula also passed a separate palatability test with dogs.
Where is it manufactured?
The Essential is made in Europe, at a specialist pet-nutrition facility that follows strict quality standards.
Is it regulated?
The Essential is sold as a complementary feed for dogs and meets EU pet food regulations. It’s not a medicine and isn’t intended to diagnose, treat or cure any condition.
Does it replace food or veterinary care?
No. The Essential is a daily complement to a balanced diet, and it doesn’t replace your dog’s main food or any care from your vet.
