A great multivitamin is an essential purchase for dog parents looking to do the most for their dog’s health. A dog multivitamin should provide the vitamins and nutrients your dog is not getting from their food alone, aiding your dog’s overall health from digestion to eyesight. Here at Balanced Breed, we are confident that we have curated the best multivitamin on the market using the highest quality ingredients, and NEVER harmful fillers. 

We at Balanced Breed have stayed true to our values which have always been our customers and their furry friends; so we made our multivitamin packed with everything your dog needs to live their healthiest life while staying at a lower price than our competitors. 

Today, we are going to prove why Balanced Breed is the best choice for your pooch with another in-depth comparison between our product, and our competitor’s over at PetHonesty. 

Balanced Breed All-in-1 Canine Supplement and Multivitamin vs. the 10-For-1 Multivitamin from PetHonesty:

From this table, we can see a clear difference between the two companies before we even take a look at the active ingredient list. 

PetHonesty took a route in their packaging that is quite contradictory to their brand’s catch which is honesty. 

The company preaches its “PetHonesty Promise–When you buy from PetHonesty, you’re getting high quality soft chews with all of the good and none of the bad. This means no wheat, corn, dairy, artificial sweeteners, or chemicals”. This promise is certainly one not kept as one of the first ingredients on the long list is microcrystalline cellulose–a chemical compound derived from wood pulp to act as a filler for their product. Their quality is something also up for further explanation as the company fails to mention where or what they are sourcing their ingredients from. For instance, they go into no detail about their omega source which is one of the most important factors of a dog multivitamin. 

Another cautionary factor of PetHonesty’s Multivitamin is its extensive list of ingredients. Whether buying a supplement for yourself or your pet, you are going to want to buy supplements with a minimal ingredient list to ensure you are getting what you or your pet needs without fillers, chemicals, or other unnecessary ingredients. PetHonesty’s ingredient list consists of almost 60 ingredients, 39 of which are not recognized as essential nutrients by the Association of American Feed Control Officials, which is of course explained in the label’s fine print. 

Of PetHonesty’s large list of ingredients, we found 7 ingredients that under no circumstance should be in a dog multivitamin. This includes the ingredients bolded in the table above that are considered to be fillers, unsafe, or even toxic to dogs, along with one other nitrate. 

At Balanced Breed, we have stayed true to our promise which is to care for your pet as much as our own. This is why our multivitamin maintains a minimal ingredient list. With 22 ingredients total, only 6 of which are inactive and transparently labeled. You are given peace of mind knowing that we have provided the essential vitamins your dog needs–without the stuff they don’t need. We NEVER use fillers or ingredients that could be considered harmful or toxic to dogs. We ALWAYS use ingredients that are the highest of quality, sourced, and manufactured right here in the United States.

Conclusion

The comparison between the two companies has made it apparent that Balanced Breed and PetHonesty do not share the same values whatsoever. 

At Balanced Breed, we care for your pets as much as our own. That is why we make our labels completely transparent and pack our multivitamins with the best ingredients that your dog needs. 

It’s unclear what’s in Pethonesty and what you are really getting in your dog’s multivitamin. The essential ingredients for a dog multivitamin are either missing, insufficient, or unmeasured on the PetHonesty packaging. 

Furthermore, PetHonesty has added fillers, artificial flavors, sweeteners, chemicals, and toxins in the 10-for-1 Multivitamin although their packaging promises otherwise.

When buying a supplement for your dog look out for long lists of ingredients, fillers, and dangerous ingredients like Xylitol, Pea Fiber, Vitamin D, Iron, Brewer's yeast, sugars, meat by-products, bone meal, BHT, BHA, Ethoxyquin, and Calcium.

At Balanced Breed, we promise to NEVER use any harmful ingredients, fillers, drugs, or chemicals in our products. We care about your dog, so we ALWAYS use the best, natural ingredients for them, sourced right here in the USA. 

Luckily, if you have already bought from PetHonesty, they have a 100% Money Back Guarantee so you can use that cash to make the switch, pay less, and give your dog more with Balanced Breed.
