Why Doesn't My Order Include a Scoop?

To keep our prices affordable and minimize unnecessary plastic waste, we've made the scoop optional. Most households already have measuring spoons in the kitchen, making a plastic scoop redundant for many customers.

This eco-conscious choice helps us pass savings directly to you while reducing our environmental footprint. A standard kitchen teaspoon works perfectly!

 Understanding Your Measurements

One serving = One teaspoon (5ml)

Simply use a standard kitchen measuring spoon. One level teaspoon equals one serving of Gentle Buddy.

📌 Important Notes

  • Consistency is key: Use daily for best results

  • Works best as prevention: Gentle Buddy maintains dental health and reduces plaque, but cannot remove heavy existing tartar

  • Safe for all ages: Suitable for puppies, adults, and senior dogs
