Plasma: The Natural Ingredient Helping Pets Thrive at Every Life Stage

You may not have heard of it before, but plasma is one of the most powerful natural ingredients in pet nutrition today. Backed by over 30 years of veterinary science, plasma is changing how we support our pets’ health — from playful pups to wise old companions.

At DotDotPet, we use plasma in our Multifits treats because it works. Here’s how.

What Is Plasma?

Plasma is the clear, protein-rich part of blood — and no, it’s not blood itself. It's packed with bioactive proteins such as immunoglobulins, albumin, growth factors and peptides, which help your pet's body respond to stress, regulate inflammation, and recover more efficiently.

Think of plasma as a smart support system: it helps the immune system work better without overreacting.

Why Is Inflammation a Problem for Pets?

Just like humans, pets go through physical and emotional stress at every life stage — teething, vaccinations, separation anxiety, or simply ageing. These can all trigger inflammation — the body’s natural defence response.

But when inflammation becomes chronic, it can quietly wear down your pet’s health over time. This can affect:

• Gut health and digestion

• Brain function and behaviour

• Muscle mass

• Immune strength

• Joint mobility

Plasma helps by modulating inflammation, rather than switching it off completely. It calms the immune system when needed and supports the body’s ability to return to balance.

How Plasma Supports Pets at Every Stage

Puppies and Kittens

Young pets are constantly growing, learning and exploring. Their immune systems are still developing, and they’re exposed to new stresses every day. Plasma helps support healthy immune development and nutrient absorption.

Adult Pets

Whether they’re dealing with a new environment, separation anxiety or an active lifestyle, adult pets benefit from plasma’s immune support and gut-balancing properties. It helps maintain energy and resilience during everyday stress.

Senior Pets

As pets age, their immune systems become less efficient. Chronic inflammation can lead to joint pain, digestive issues and cognitive decline. Plasma helps by supporting gut-brain axis health, reducing inflammation and improving mobility and mental sharpness.

A Natural and Sustainable Ingredient

Plasma is not synthetic. It’s a natural by-product of meat processing that’s often discarded. By using it responsibly, we reduce waste and extract a powerful, clean source of nutrition — with no added fillers or artificial ingredients.

That means it’s not only good for your pet — it’s also better for the planet.
