Our Philosophy

At Animal Essentials we regard dogs, cats and other pets as integral family members that need and deserve the same level of quality as their people.

  • Human Grade
  • Certified Organic or ethically Wild Harvested Herbs
  • Tested for purity in a USA-based analytic lab
  • Selected and formulated specifically for animals by leading experts

Our Herbal Tincture Products are made in our Phoenix, Arizona facility.

  • We use supply sources we know and trust.
  • We require absolute transparency from every ingredient supplier we do business with.
  • Each ingredient we receive is immediately placed into quarantine before it reaches our production floor or warehouse.

All of our Ingredients must Conform to Strict Quality Controls.

  • First, we review the supplier's Certificate of Analysis (COA) to begin verification of acceptable quality.
    • How has the ingredient been identified (is it really what they say it is?)
    • Where is it from?
    • How was it produced?
    • Are microbials within acceptable human food limits?
    • Clean of contaminants?
  • The ingredient is then "organoleptically" checked for proper appearance, smell, taste and texture.
  • The ingredient is then tested again in our in-house lab for...
    • E coli, Staph and other potential pathogens.
    • Mold & Yeast
    • Total platelets
  • THEN--- the ingredient is subject to testing AGAIN by a 3rd party analytical lab in the USA
  • Lot samples are retained for three years after the date of manufacture
  • Each ingredient can be quickly traced back to when it was purchased, where it was from and to each product it went into.

Our Herbs...

Are from certified organic growers or have been ethically wild-harvested in a manner that honors sustainability and helps improve quality of life in communities of their origin.
