Pet immune support private label: short stack, lawful claims

Quick answer

Keep the formula short: C, E, zinc, selenium, then a named beta-glucan or turkey tail if you need a premium hook. Do not print disease treatment. Allergy on a spec sheet is not a carton claim. Everyday immune chews at Beno can start at 500 units; turkey tail SKUs sit at 3000.

Pet immune support private label: short stack, lawful claims

Immune is a year-round staple that bundles with joint, coat and gut. That commercial read is fair. The trap is also fair: "immune support" is easy to type and hard to defend if the carton sounds like a drug.

This page is how we spec the category at Beno. Stock pieces include allergy and immune chews, turkey tail mushroom chews, and turkey tail powder if you want a mix-in. The word "allergy" on an internal spec sheet is not a licence to print disease treatment. Seasonal or skin-and-immune support is the pack lane. FDA CVM still sits on animal products that claim to treat disease: animal food.

What buyers actually ask to put in

A short, named stack beats a kitchen-sink label.

Vitamins C and E, zinc, selenium are the cheap cofactors everyone expects. Zinc has a maximum in EU feed. If Europe is a destination, say so before we print a number that cannot ship.

Beta-glucans from yeast or mushroom fractions. Ask for a spec (for example a β-1,3/1,6 description) if you will put the chemistry on the panel. "Mushroom blend" without a species is a vibe.

Turkey tail (Trametes / Coriolus) is a premium line we already run as a chew and a powder. It is a sourcing and assay conversation, not a miracle.

Colostrum shows up on premium briefs. Origin (bovine) and heat are the factory questions. Dairy paperwork appears if the EU is in play.

Probiotics belong if the story is gut-plus-immune. They do not belong as a live CFU claim on a meat chew unless the process can hold them. See the probiotic article.

Chicken or beef flavour on an "itchy dog" SKU is a contradiction owners notice. A hydrolysed or novel-protein base costs more and is worth it if that is the shopper.

Format and channel

Soft chew for marketplace and retail photos. Powder for mix-in households. Tablet if a clinic wants milligrams. The chew is the usual first SKU. We will not pretend a powder photographs like a treat.

Cat volumes on this concept are smaller. Most buyers lead with the dog carton.

Claims that survive a retailer email

"Supports normal immune function." "Seasonal wellness." "Skin and coat comfort."

Not: "treats atopy," "cures allergy," "replaces immunotherapy." Structure/function vs drug is the same fork as joint and calming.

Read the quotation for MOQ. Everyday immune chews can sit at 500 units. Turkey tail chews and powder on our list sit at 3000. Samples 7 to 15 days on catalogue formulas.

Send species, market and whether you want the everyday chew or the mushroom SKU. Inquiry. Pairing with gut is a bundle, not one overloaded piece: probiotic OEM.

Frequently asked questions

Can the pack say this chew treats allergies?
No. In the US, treating or curing disease is a drug claim under FDA CVM. Use seasonal wellness or skin-and-immune support. Keep the word allergy on the internal spec if you must, not on the carton.
Should immune and probiotic live in one chew?
Only if the process can hold a live CFU claim. Otherwise sell a bundle: immune chew plus a probiotic SKU. One overloaded piece is harder to defend and harder to eat.
What is the MOQ?
Everyday immune chews can sit at 500 units. Turkey tail chews and powder on our list sit at 3000. Read the quotation. Samples 7 to 15 days on catalogue formulas.
Which ingredients do buyers ask for in a pet immune supplement?
A short, named stack beats a kitchen-sink label: vitamins C and E, zinc and selenium as the expected cofactors, then beta-glucans from yeast or mushroom fractions, turkey tail, or colostrum if the brief is premium. Zinc has a maximum in EU feed, so name the destination before we print a number.
Should an itchy-dog immune chew use chicken flavour?
Chicken or beef flavour on an itchy-dog SKU is a contradiction owners notice. A hydrolysed or novel-protein base costs more and is worth it if that is the shopper you are selling to. Decide the flavour system with the positioning, not after artwork.
Chew, powder or tablet for an immune SKU?
Soft chew for marketplace and retail photos, powder for mix-in households, tablet if a clinic wants milligrams. The chew is the usual first SKU because a powder does not photograph like a treat. Cat volumes on this concept are smaller, so most buyers lead with the dog carton.
