Augustine Approved® is the real deal, with each and every ingredient and process having a specific, demonstrated purpose and benefit for your dog’s health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you and your dog are about to experience is the outcome of countless hours of research that I undertook, beginning in 2010, all with one ambitious goal at heart: to give my puppy, Augustine the Boxer, every opportunity to live a long and healthy life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I worked towards my dream people started to ask me which ready-made food available in the market would I recommend for their dogs. The simple answer was - and still is - none. While some products show more promise than others, I am yet to find a single brand of dog food that I would be content to feed Augustine. My first recommendation is to prepare fresh nutritious meals at home (using our free recipes to ensure a solid base diet), but I do appreciate that this is not always possible - hence the need for Augustine Approved® products to supplement commercial foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis life-changing journey has taught me to have a greater love and respect for all animals. I now strive to show people how, by reducing the consumption of animal products, they can dramatically improve their own health as well as the health of their dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur range includes the world’s most versatile canine supplement - Augustine Approved\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/augustineapproved.com.au\/augustines-superboost\"\u003e,\u003c\/a\u003e Super Skin Care (human and animal label), Super Ingredients (human label). \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/augustineapproved.com.au\/augustines-super-pack\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a bit of a purist and also an advocate of the organic movement, my mission is to create high-quality products only when there is a need for them to exist - nothing more, nothing less. Augustine Approved® products sit well above super-premium dog food brands not only because they far exceed the nutritional needs of canines, nor because they have been produced with a strong focus on the prevention of illness, but because they are so healthy you can eat them too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are sincere in wanting to create products that focus on the health and happiness of dogs rather than profit and although a permit is not needed to make food for dogs, Augustine and I insisted that our products be governed by human food standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/5580\/2933\/files\/Augustine_Approved_Social_Statics_AWARENESS_1x1_FA.jpg?v=1742793790\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2025-03-24T15:24:56+10:00","alt":null,"width":513,"height":471,"src":"\/\/www.naturalpetfarmacy.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Screenshot_2026-05-15_at_12.14.07_pm.png?v=1778811283"}}]

A note about the Feeding Guide
Making an accurate feeding guide for a nutritionally dense extract product was extremely difficult. This is because the smallest spoon size in most spoon sets is ¼ teaspoon. According to the research, to be accurate we would need to have a starting spoon size of 1/16th of a teaspoon.
One teaspoon of Little Universe® is approx. 1.7g / 0.059oz. Even if you feed your half of the recommended amount, it will still be more than adequate to obtain its benefits.
We decided to recommend more rather than less to ensure dogs are obtaining its benefits. As a guide, the concentration of nutrients in Little Universe® that we recommend for adult humans at 1 teaspoon per day.
