About Dr. Shiba
Dr. Shiba is a Philippine-based pet wellness brand that formulates nutritional supplements, functional treats, grooming solutions, and daily health products for dogs and cats. The company positions its offerings as science-backed functional care designed to support preventive health rather than treat disease. Its product portfolio addresses digestive health, immunity, skin and coat condition, joint mobility, dental hygiene, anxiety management, and complete daily nutrition.1
Dr. Shiba primarily retails through its official e-commerce store, major online marketplaces, and social media channels within the Philippines.
History
Dr. Shiba entered the Philippine pet care market in the early 2020s, coinciding with rising demand for premium pet nutrition and wellness products. Instead of operating as a traditional pet food manufacturer, the company focused on functional supplements and wellness treats intended to complement regular diets.1
Product development has centred on common health concerns among companion animals, including digestive health, immune support, skin and coat condition, joint mobility, dental care, and stress management. The brand subsequently expanded into feline care with the Prof. Bengal line, which is specifically formulated for cats.1
Philosophy
Dr. Shiba states that its mission is to improve pets’ everyday lives through products grounded in nutritional science and functional ingredients. The company’s philosophy emphasises preventive wellness, evidence-informed formulations, convenient daily supplementation, high palatability to ease administration, and long-term health maintenance over reactive illness treatment.1
Product Categories
Dog Supplements
The brand is best known for soft chew supplements formulated for specific health outcomes:

These supplements typically combine probiotics, prebiotics, vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, botanical extracts, and other functional ingredients.1

Dental Care
The brand offers Chompies Daily Dental Chews, which are formulated to support oral hygiene while reducing plaque and tartar buildup.1
Grooming
The grooming range includes Magic Mist, a hypochlorous acid spray marketed as a multifunctional pet care solution for skin care, minor wound cleansing, paw cleaning, coat hygiene, and general sanitation for both dogs and cats.1
Nutrition
Dr. Shiba has expanded into complete pet nutrition with products such as Kind Kibble, Starter Packs, and Salmon Oil supplements. These items are designed to provide either complete daily nutrition or nutritional enhancement alongside existing supplement regimens.1
Cat Products
The Prof. Bengal line comprises supplements developed specifically for felines. Products in this range include Happy Tummy, Silky Fur, Easy Peesy, Bye Bye Floof, Pro Immune, and Kind Kibble for Cats.1
Business Model
Dr. Shiba operates primarily as a direct-to-consumer brand via its official online store, Shopee, Lazada, social media marketing, and loyalty rewards programmes. Customers earn redeemable points through purchases, which can be applied toward discounts and gifts.1
Target Market
The brand caters to pet owners seeking daily nutritional support, preventive health care, convenient supplement administration, premium products, and functional nutrition. While products are intended for healthy pets as well as those requiring nutritional support, Dr. Shiba advises consulting a veterinarian for persistent or serious medical conditions.1
Community Presence
Dr. Shiba maintains an active presence on Philippine social media through educational content, customer testimonials, and influencer collaborations.
Feedback within online pet communities is mixed. Some owners report positive outcomes for issues such as digestion or skin condition, while others question product efficacy or recommend veterinary consultation and ingredient review prior to use. As with many nutritional supplements, individual responses vary, and anecdotal reports should not be considered clinical evidence.2
