PREMIUM BOTANICAL INGREDIENTS
Botanical ingredients for pets
Natural botanical ingredients for pets play an increasingly important role in modern pet nutrition.
They offer natural support for joint health, digestion, immunity, skin and coat condition, stress management and overall wellbeing.
At ID-Ingredients, we work with specialized botanical manufacturers to supply premium plant powders, ratio extracts and standardized extracts with consistent quality and reliable performance.
Three botanical ingredient categories
Different formats. One goal: natural support for pet health.
1. Plant powders
Plant powders are produced by gently drying and milling the whole plant while preserving its natural composition.
They are ideal for brands looking for clean-label, minimally processed ingredients with a whole-plant profile.
- Whole-plant composition
- Natural positioning
- Clean-label formulations
- Ideal for chews and treats
2. Ratio extracts
Ratio extracts concentrate the naturally occurring compounds found in plants.
The ratio indicates how much raw botanical material is used to produce the final extract.
A 10:1 extract means that 10 kg of plant material are used to obtain 1 kg of extract.
- Higher concentration
- Lower inclusion levels
- More formulation flexibility
- Less impact on taste and textures
3. Standardized extracts
Standardized extracts are produced to guarantee a defined level of active compounds in every batch.
This provides consistent quality and predictable performance.
- Guaranteed active content
- Batch-to-batch consistency
- Easier product positioning
- Improved scientific substantiation
Why work with specialized
botanical manufacturers?
The quality of a botanical ingredient depends on more than the plant itself.
It is influenced by:
- Plant origin
- Harvesting conditions
- Extraction technology
- Standardization process
- Quality control
