How to Use Gentle Buddy
Your complete guide to serving sizes, dosage, and getting the best results for your pup.
📦 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!
