What If Your Pet's Food Is Missing Something?
How long have you been feeding your pet processed food and wondering why their coat looks dull, their energy is low, or their digestion is off? Most pet owners never question the kibble. The ones who do end up here.
The Problem Nobody Talks About
Every bag of kibble, every can of wet food, every "premium" pet brand goes through the same process: high-heat manufacturing that destroys live enzymes, denatures proteins, and strips away the bioavailable nutrients your pet's body actually recognizes. What if there was a way to put those nutrients back? Not with synthetic vitamins sprayed on after processing. With real, living food. That is what microgreens do. One sprinkle. 103 vitamins and nutrients. The same living nutrition that professional athletes and biohackers pay a premium for, working inside your pet's body.
40x More Nutrient-Dense Than Vegetables
Not a typo. USDA research confirms microgreens pack up to 40 times the vitamin and mineral concentration of mature vegetables. A pinch outperforms a bowl. Your pet gets more from less.
Live Enzymes That Kibble Cannot Provide
Cooking and processing destroy enzymes. Period. Our microgreens are raw, living, and harvested fresh in Schwenksville, PA. Organic seeds. Purified water. Petroleum-free living soil. No pesticides. No herbicides. Nothing your pet should not eat.
Bioavailable. Not Synthetic.
The vitamins sprayed onto processed pet food are synthetic. Your pet's body absorbs a fraction. Microgreens deliver nutrients the way nature intended: inside living plant cells, with the cofactors needed for absorption already built in.
Microgreens for Dogs
What would it mean for your dog if you could reduce joint inflammation, improve coat quality, freshen breath, and support digestion with a single addition to their bowl? Not a new prescription. Not a $60 supplement with fillers. A living food.
The same chlorophyll that professional athletes juice for recovery works the same way in your dog's body. Chlorophyll is molecularly almost identical to hemoglobin, the molecule that carries oxygen in blood. When your dog eats wheatgrass, their blood gets better at carrying oxygen to muscles, organs, and joints. That is not marketing. That is biochemistry.
Start small: a teaspoon for small breeds, a tablespoon for larger dogs, mixed into their regular food. Most dogs take to sunflower and broccoli microgreens immediately. The change in their energy and coat usually shows within the first week.
Our $10 Deluxe Pet Grass is the easiest way to start. Safe for puppies. 103 vitamins and nutrients. Grown in living soil. No guesswork.
Safe Varieties for Dogs
Sunflower Microgreens
Rich in Vitamin E, the nutrient most directly linked to skin and coat health. Also delivers healthy fats and complete plant protein. Dogs love the nutty flavor. Most owners see coat improvements within days.
Broccoli Microgreens
Contain up to 100x more sulforaphane than mature broccoli (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2012). Sulforaphane has documented anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. If your dog has joint stiffness, this is the variety to know about.
Wheatgrass
Chlorophyll acts as a natural blood oxygenator and detoxifier. Its molecular structure mirrors hemoglobin, which means it directly supports oxygen transport. Also freshens breath naturally, because bad breath in dogs is often a sign of toxin buildup.
Pea Shoots
One of the rare plant sources that provides complete protein with all essential amino acids. High in vitamins A, C, and K. Gentle on the stomach. Dogs eat them willingly because the flavor is naturally sweet.
Red Clover
Contains isoflavones that support joint health in aging dogs. If your dog is slowing down on walks, stiff getting up in the morning, or favoring a leg, red clover is worth adding to the rotation.
Safe Varieties for Cats
Wheatgrass / Cat Grass
The gold standard for a reason. Insoluble fiber physically moves hairballs through the digestive tract instead of letting them build up and cause vomiting. Chlorophyll oxygenates blood and acts as a natural internal deodorizer. Safe for daily grazing, and most cats self-regulate their intake.
Broccoli Microgreens
Sulforaphane supports cellular health and immune function. Finely chopped and mixed into wet food, most cats accept it without resistance. The anti-inflammatory properties are especially relevant for indoor cats with limited movement.
Sunflower Microgreens
Vitamin E directly supports coat health. If your cat's fur has lost its sheen or they are shedding excessively, Vitamin E deficiency is often a contributing factor. Sunflower microgreens are one of the richest plant-based sources.
Red Clover
Gentle on the stomach, rich in antioxidants, and a safe alternative for cats who want variety beyond wheatgrass. Isoflavones support joint mobility in older cats.
Microgreens for Cats
Have you ever watched your cat eat grass outside and wondered why? It is not random. Cats are obligate carnivores, but they instinctively seek out grass because their bodies need something meat alone cannot provide: insoluble fiber to move hairballs through naturally, and chlorophyll to detoxify their blood.
The problem is that outdoor grass is typically treated with pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Your cat's instinct is right. The grass just is not safe. That is exactly why we created our Organic Deluxe Pet Grass: 103 vitamins and nutrients, 100% organic, grown in petroleum-free living soil in Schwenksville, PA. Safe for cats and kittens. $10.
We did not set out to make pet food. We grew microgreens for humans. Then cat owners started asking. Their cats kept going for the trays. So we developed a blend specifically for them. Most pet owners have never even heard of this. The ones who have? Their cats look different.
Microgreens for Birds
What does your bird eat in the wild? Sprouted seeds. Young shoots. Living greens pulled from the earth. Now look at what is in their cage: pellets, dried seed mix, maybe a millet spray. How much of that is actually alive?
Parakeets, cockatiels, and parrots are wired to eat fresh, living plant matter. Microgreens replicate that wild nutrition in a form you can clip to the side of a cage or place in a dish. They serve double duty as food and enrichment. Birds pick, pull, and play with microgreens the way they interact with vegetation in nature.
Rotate varieties to keep it interesting. And because our microgreens are grown with zero pesticides and zero chemicals, you never have to worry about what your bird is actually putting in its body.
Safe Varieties for Birds
Sunflower Microgreens
Birds already love sunflower seeds. The microgreen gives them the same flavor profile with dramatically more nutrition: Vitamin E, complete protein, and healthy fats. Parrots and cockatiels eat these immediately.
Broccoli Microgreens
Small, delicate leaves perfectly sized for parakeets and smaller birds. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K plus sulforaphane for cellular protection.
Wheatgrass
Many birds enjoy picking at the blades. Chlorophyll supports blood health and the fiber aids digestion. A natural choice for species that graze in the wild.
Pea Shoots
Sweet, tender, and mild. Parakeets love the delicate leaves and curly tendrils. Complete amino acid profile means real protein, not filler.
Pak Choi Microgreens
Crunchy, hydrating, and high in calcium. Especially valuable for egg-laying birds and growing chicks who need calcium for shell and bone formation.
Buckwheat Microgreens
High in rutin, which supports circulatory health. Larger parrots enjoy the substantial leaves. A nutritious rotation option that adds variety.
Safe Varieties for Reptiles
Sunflower Microgreens
A staple for bearded dragons and iguanas. High in protein, healthy fats, and Vitamin E. Most reptiles eat these eagerly, even picky eaters.
Pea Shoots
Mild, sweet, hydrating, and packed with complete amino acids. Excellent for tortoises and bearded dragons. The high water content supports hydration in species that do not drink often.
Pak Choi Microgreens
High in calcium with a favorable calcium-to-phosphorus ratio. Calcium is the single most critical nutrient for preventing metabolic bone disease in reptiles. This microgreen delivers it in a bioavailable form.
Red Clover
Safe for tortoises and iguanas. Soft leaves are easy to consume and packed with antioxidants and isoflavones for joint and cellular support.
Cilantro Microgreens
Hydrating and vitamin-rich. Bearded dragons find it palatable even when they refuse other greens. Offer as part of a varied salad mix for nutritional diversity.
Microgreens for Reptiles
If you own a bearded dragon, tortoise, or iguana, you already know the struggle: they need fresh greens daily, but most grocery store greens are sprayed with pesticides you cannot wash off, and nutritionally, they are barely adequate. What if the greens in their salad were 40 times more nutrient-dense, completely organic, and grown specifically for animal safety?
Microgreens can make up 10-20% of your reptile's salad mix. Chop and combine with staple greens like collard greens and squash. The variety of textures and flavors actually encourages picky reptiles to eat. Reptile keepers who use microgreens consistently report better coloring, more energy, and fewer vet visits.
Calcium-rich varieties like pak choi are critical. Metabolic bone disease is the leading nutritional problem in captive reptiles, and it is almost entirely preventable with proper calcium intake. Microgreens deliver calcium in a bioavailable, whole-food form. Always dust with calcium supplement as recommended by your vet.
Microgreens for Rodents & Small Animals
Here is a question most guinea pig owners never think to ask: if guinea pigs cannot produce their own Vitamin C, and Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, joint pain, and lethargy, how confident are you that their pellets are delivering enough? Broccoli microgreens contain concentrated Vitamin C in a live, bioavailable form that processed pellets cannot replicate.
Rabbits can enjoy microgreens as part of their daily fresh greens rotation. The live enzymes in raw microgreens support gut flora health, which is critical for a species whose entire digestive system depends on fermentation. Hamsters and gerbils should receive only a few leaves at a time as a treat. The nutrient density means a little goes far.
Introduce gradually. Start with a leaf or two and increase over a few days. Small animals respond quickly to dietary improvements, and you will likely notice changes in coat quality and energy within days.
Safe Varieties for Small Animals
Sunflower Microgreens
A favorite among rabbits and guinea pigs. Vitamin E supports coat health. Healthy fats provide sustained energy. The nutty flavor means you rarely have to convince them to eat it.
Broccoli Microgreens
Critical for guinea pigs: concentrated Vitamin C in a bioavailable form. Also delivers sulforaphane for anti-inflammatory and immune support. Safe for rabbits and hamsters.
Pea Shoots
Complete plant protein with all essential amino acids. High in Vitamin C for guinea pigs. Rabbits enjoy the tendrils. Sweet, mild, and easy on sensitive digestive systems.
Wheatgrass
Safe for all small animals. Chlorophyll detoxifies and oxygenates blood. Fiber supports healthy digestion. Rabbits and guinea pigs graze on it naturally.
Red Clover
Rabbits are drawn to clover instinctively. Rich in minerals and isoflavones. Gentle on the stomach. A natural treat that delivers real nutritional value.
Cilantro Microgreens
Aromatic and flavor-packed. Rabbits and guinea pigs enjoy the variety. Rich in vitamins A and K. Adds diversity to the rotation, which keeps animals interested in eating.
For Herbivorous Fish
Wheatgrass (Juiced)
A few drops of fresh wheatgrass juice in the tank delivers vitamins and minerals directly into the water column. Experienced aquarists use this as a natural supplement for herbivorous species.
Pea Shoot Leaves
Blanched and finely chopped, pea shoots are readily accepted by goldfish, mollies, and plecos. The soft texture is easy to consume and the nutrient density means even small amounts are meaningful.
Broccoli Microgreens
Blanched and offered in small portions to herbivorous species. The concentrated vitamins support health and coloration. Many aquarists notice improved color vibrancy after regular supplementation.
Microgreens for Fish
This is for the aquarist who has already optimized their water parameters, their lighting, and their filtration, and is now asking: what about nutrition? Most flake and pellet foods are the aquatic equivalent of kibble. Processed, heat-treated, and stripped of the live nutrients that wild fish consume daily through algae and aquatic plants.
Goldfish, mollies, plecos, and certain cichlids are herbivorous or omnivorous by nature. They are wired to eat living plant matter. Microgreens can be blanched briefly, finely chopped, and offered as a supplement. Remove uneaten portions after a few hours to keep water clean.
This is an advanced application. Start with tiny amounts and observe. The nutrient density means even a small offering provides meaningful supplementation. Fish keepers who have tried it report improved coloration and more active behavior.
Know What to Avoid. Non-Negotiable.
Not every microgreen is safe for every animal. Some are outright toxic. This is not an area for experimentation. Know these, memorize them, and stick to the varieties we recommend above.
Onion & Leek Microgreens
Toxic to dogs, cats, birds, and most pets. Contains thiosulfate compounds that damage red blood cells and cause hemolytic anemia. There is no safe amount. Avoid completely.
Garlic / Chive Microgreens
Part of the allium family. Toxic to dogs and cats even in small amounts. Causes gastrointestinal distress and oxidative damage to red blood cells. Zero tolerance.
Nightshade Family
Tomato, pepper, and eggplant microgreens contain solanine, which is toxic to most animals. Never feed nightshade greens to any pet, regardless of species.
Mustard & Radish (Use Caution)
Spicy microgreens can irritate the mouth, esophagus, and stomach of smaller pets. Dogs may tolerate small amounts. Avoid entirely for cats, birds, and rodents.
Fenugreek (Use Caution)
May cause digestive upset in some animals, especially in larger amounts. Not recommended for cats or small animals without specific veterinary guidance.
When in Doubt, Do Not Guess
Stick with the proven safe options: wheatgrass, sunflower, broccoli, pea shoots, and red clover. Or start with our Deluxe Pet Grass, which is formulated to be universally safe. Consult your veterinarian before introducing anything new.
