Daily care for dogs and cats, made with nothing to hide.

Studied actives, a short ingredient list, and no shortcuts. Our first products are in home trials now.

What goes in the bottle, and what never will

Every ingredient has to earn its place. If it doesn't do a job, or if it isn't safe for a pet that licks everything, it stays out.

Fully disclosed

We list every active and what it's there to do. No vague "proprietary blend."

Never on our list

No xylitol. No tea tree, eucalyptus or citrus oils. No dyes or artificial mint.

Tested at home first

Nothing ships until real dogs and cats have used it in real homes, and their owners have told us honestly what they noticed.

Coming first

Two products, both in testing. You'll hear the results before you see a price.

In home trials

Daily Oral Water Additive

A clear, odourless, tasteless addition to the water bowl that freshens breath as part of a daily routine. Made for pets who won't sit still for a toothbrush.

  • Zinc gluconate to neutralise odour at the source
  • No flavouring, colour or fragrance
  • For dogs and cats
In development

Paw Barrier Balm

Applied before a walk, to protect paws from hot pavement and rough ground. Built to stay put in an Indian summer.

  • Plant butters and natural waxes
  • Safe if licked
  • For dogs
"I didn't want to sell a pet owner anything I wouldn't put in my own dog's bowl."

The Pet Apothecary started with a simple frustration: most pet care is either cheap and vague about what's inside, or imported, clinical and priced out of reach.

So we're building the middle ground, slowly and in public. Formulas rewritten when they weren't right. Ingredients cut when they didn't belong. Every step shared as it happens.
