We understand that all dogs have unique taste preferences, which is why we stand behind a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee! If for any reason, your dog doesn't absolutely love a certain seasoning, you can exchange it for a different recipe or receive a 100% refund.
Best Practices for Shaking
Most customers begin with approximately 1 teaspoon of Shake it Pup per cup of dog food. From there, the serving amount can be adjusted to each dog's preferences. With less than 25 calories per teaspoon, Shake it Pup offers flexibility without the fear of overfeeding!
With our Supplemental Seasonings, the serving size is one teaspoon for dogs under 30 lbs and two teaspoons for dogs over 30 lbs.
Unlike many toppers, refrigeration is not required! However, for maximum flavor preservation, placing Shake it Pup in the refrigerator is a great choice. If you choose not to store Shake it Pup in the refrigerator, we recommend storing it out of direct sunlight.
Every Shake it Pup Recipe carries a shelf life minimum of 1-Year.
While the majority of customers prefer to apply Shake it Pup without water, many customers also choose to add water to make a flavorful broth. Whichever way your pup prefers, there's no wrong way to add Shake it Pup!
Nutritional Questions
Yes, all ingredients are U.S.-sourced! To offer the best, most-natural supplements, our Organic Cinnamon (found in the Bone & Joint Recipe) is sourced from its native country of Indonesia.
It's important to understand that there are two types of Cinnamon:
The Bad: The most commonly found is Cassia, which is lower quality and potentially harmful to the health of both humans and dogs.
The Good: Ceylon is a much higher quality cinnamon and can help regulate the blood sugar levels of dogs.
Any cinnamon used in Shake it Pup is 100% Ceylon (the good).
Despite all of the flavor and nutrients packed into Shake it Pup, each teaspoon contains less than 25 calories, regardless of recipe!
Absolutely not! Dogs love added salt, which is why you'll often find it in treats and dog food. However, salt can be very detrimental to a dog's health. That's why we never add additional salts to any recipe. Because of this, the sodium levels are consistent with the natural occurring levels found in each ingredient.
Whether your dog requires a Grain or No-Grain diet, we have options for them!
Original Recipes: Incorporate only the best, human-grade grains (Organic Oats and Organic Brown Rice)!
Supplemental Recipes: Completely Grain-Free!
Garlic is a commonly misunderstood ingredient when it comes to dogs. In small quantities, garlic has many benefits for dogs including assisting in cholesterol management and flea/tick prevention. For garlic to become toxic, it would need to be ingested in very large quantities. Because of its benefits for dogs, some of our recipes contain small, safe levels of garlic that are professionally processed. If you would like further information on garlic, please feel free to send us a message.
Yes, all of Shake it Pup's recipes use 100% Human-Grade Ingredients! That being said, our recipes are made to be consumed by dogs, not humans.
Yes, Shake it Pup's recipes are Gluten-Free!
Absolutely not! You won't find any Corn, Wheat, or Soy in Shake it Pup's recipes.
