FAQs

Are all your products human-grade?

They sure are! Human-grade means that all of the ingredients are safe and suitable for human consumption. You could theoretically enjoy our products too, however, they are designed for animals.

Are all your products organic?

In almost 100% of situations, the products contain only organic ingredients. Sometimes it's not possible to source organic, than we will source wildcrafted ingredients or the highest quality possible. This would be the case for a handful of ingredients only (we estimate less than 1%). For example, there are certain herbs that aren't available organic or wildcrafted. The majority are, and we will always source organic if it's available. Another example is sunflower lecithin, which is not available organic in Australia (not that we've seen anyway). The sunflower lecithin we use though is non GM, soy free and premium pharmaceutical grade.

Are all your products natural?

They are are! We don't use any artificial or synthetic ingredients in any of our products. We pride ourselves on delivering you products for your animals that are as close to nature and their whole form as possible.

Do your products contain preservatives, artificial colours or flavours?

Definitely not! All of our products are free from preservatives (unless that is a natural action of an ingredient, for example, certain herbs have antimicrobial actions and glycerine, which we use in our herbal and flower essence products, has a natural preservative action, in that it helps to reduce bacteria growth when used at the correct concentration, and when stored correctly), artificial colours and flavours.

What's the best way to store Three Rays products?

We recommend storing all of our products in a cool, dry spot like a dark cupboard. Ideally the products should be stored below 30°C. Always make sure that you put the lid back on securely too!

Can my animal take your products if they are on medication?

Some ingredients interact with medications so it's important to check. If you're unsure, please check with your animal's vet. For our bespoke herbal elixirs, we will get the necessary information from you and prepare a formula that won't interfere with your animal's medications.

Is it necessary to transition my animal onto your products?

If your animal has shown a sensitivity to new foods in the past, then we recommend a slow transition of approximately 1/4 of the dose stated on the label. Then slowly increase to the recommended dose over approximately two weeks.
