THE EVIDENCE

the science behind every scoop

Every dog supplement on the shelf looks the same from the outside. Nice label, long ingredient list, big promise on the front. You've probably bought one. Maybe a few. That's exactly why we build backwards here: we start with the published research, then decide what goes in the bottle. Not the other way around. If an ingredient doesn't have real studies behind it, it doesn't earn a spot in a Taily formula, no matter how good it would look on the label.

Pedro G. — Head Chemist

50+ years of formulation experience

Every Taily formula is personally reviewed by Pedro before production begins.

Peer-reviewed research on each functional ingredient we use. These are studies on the ingredients themselves, not on our finished formulas, so you can see exactly what the science does and doesn't say. Filter by ingredient, product or study type to find what matters for your dog.
