FAQs

General

As with any changes to your pet’s diet, adding a Zest & Pep supplement has the potential to cause mild digestive upset whilst the digestive system adapts to the new addition to the diet. It is unlikely that digestive upset occurs from Zest & Pep supplements, however if digestive upset occurs in your pet, we recommend that you pause supplementation until the digestion settles. Then you can resume supplementation by introducing the supplement
gradually, which gives your pet’s sensitive digestion chance to adapt to the addition to the diet.

Zest & Pep supplements use natural ingredients, and so can usually be used alongside prescription medicines. It is, however, important to check with your vet to ensure that there will be no interaction of the supplement ingredients with your dog’s particular medicines before beginning use.

Yes. The Zest & Pep supplements can be used alongside other Zest & Pep supplement ranges – for instance using Dental+ and joint+ simultaneously.

Using a Zest & Pep supplement alongside another supplement brand is fine in the case of the two supplements being for different functions – e.g., a joint supplement and digestive supplement.

We do not recommend giving your pet more than one variety
of a supplement for a particular function, e.g., giving two joint supplement varieties simultaneously.

For Dental+ the initial doubling of the standard feeding quantities is not necessary.

As Zest & Pep Joint+ supplements are designed to give lifelong joint support doubling the recommended feeding quantities for the
first 4 weeks is not necessary. This is recommended when introducing a joint supplement to dogs which are showing signs of joint stiffness and discomfort, to boost the quantities of these nutrients initially to allow benefits to be realised more quickly. If the supplements have been provided throughout the three lifestages this boost is not necessary as the beneficial nutrients are already present to provide the joint support to your dog.

If you are starting the joint supplement and your dog is
showing signs of joint stiffness or discomfort, then doubling the daily amount of the tablets for the first 4 to 6 weeks helps for the benefits to be present
more quickly.

The Zest & Pep supplement ranges have been carefully researched
and designed. If you would like to understand how the ingredients work in more detail, please contact the Zest & Pep team.

Dental+

Dental+ is a natural dental powder, designed to reduce plaque build-up and freshen your pet’s breath.

Dental+ works to reduce the build-up of plaque on your
pet’s teeth, freshen their breath and help to improve their dental health.

Bad dental hygiene is a keyway that bacteria can enter the
blood stream. Oral discomfort can also be a cause of pets going off their food. By helping to improve dental health we can help to avoid the knock-on poor health effects associated with this.

Dental+ contains just four natural ingredients: seaweed, activated charcoal, peppermint, and parsley.

Dental+ can be used from weaning.

Dental+ is palatable for most pets. A very small quantity is required each day, so it is easy to add to your pet’s food without impacting the taste of the food.

We recommend that Dental+ is prinkled onto your pet’s food, for the best results.

Benefits can usually be seen between 4 and 8 weeks of daily
use.

If you can’t see a difference after two months, please contact the Zest & Pep team for a full refund.

Dental+ is not recommended for pets being treated for hyperthyroidism
