In a world where slick marketing often outweighs substance, Dylan Blau is flipping the script to make dog supplements great again. As the founder of Dog Trainer Approved, Blau has taken his years of hands-on experience with working dogs and funneled that insight into something game-changing: a truly premium supplement that stands head and tail above the rest. Dylan stated, “we are seeing a revolution in the health industry right now in the USA and I want pet food and supplements to be part of the conversation.”
Blau’s mission started with a simple but overlooked truth. “Every time a dog moves a muscle or has a heartbeat, magnesium is needed,” he explains. “Yet hardly any dog supplements include it, let alone in a form and amount that makes a difference.” That kind of detail isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s a reflection of Dylan Blau’s core philosophy, delivering real results, backed by research, with absolutely no inactive ingredients or fillers of any kind.
The result of that mission is the Maximum Life Formula, a one scoop meal topper developed for active dogs who hike, train, swim, hunt, or just live full-on lives with their humans. Built by dog trainers who understand what it takes to push the limits of canine performance, the formula is designed to do more than support your dog’s joints or make their coat shine. It’s made to optimize full-body recovery, enhance endurance, boost muscle growth, and increase longevity.
Dog supplements aren’t new. But what makes Blau’s formula different is its unapologetic stand against everything wrong with the pet health industry. “Most dog supplements are packed with 5 to 20 fillers, fake flavors, and not enough of the premium ingredients they advertise,” says Blau. “They’ll hype up glucosamine, but give you so little it won’t make a difference. They’ll slap a ‘veterinarian recommended’ stamp on the bottle, but that’s meaningless now, it’s pay-to-play, and the vets behind those endorsements often don’t even know what’s in the product.”
It’s a bold claim. But Dog Trainer Approved backs it up with a formula boasting over 5,000 mg of premium ingredients per serving and zero fillers, inactive ingredients, or artificial flavors. That includes 2,000 mg of beef bone broth, 500 mg each of green lipped mussel, collagen peptide, glucosamine, and MSM, along with krill meal, organic kelp, beef liver, magnesium, taurine, and vitamin C. The goal? Make one product that does it all, no need to buy three to five “specialized” supplements that barely work.
The idea isn’t just about better ingredients. It’s about honesty. “People spend $25 to $40 per dog supplement thinking they’re saving money,” Blau says. “But it adds up. You’re spending over $100, sometimes $200, on subpar products that don’t deliver. It’s like spending $100 on McDonald’s and expecting gourmet results. It doesn’t work that way.”
Priced under $100, Maximum Life Formula isn’t pretending to be the cheapest option. But it doesn’t have to. It’s aiming to be the best. For dog owners with working dogs like the Belgian Malinois who do extreme training like protection bite work, it’s a clear-cut investment in a dog’s health that pays off. According to Blau and the community of dog trainers behind the brand, dogs show noticeable results in just 30 days, more energy, faster recovery, and a clear zest for movement that’s hard to miss.
Blau’s frustration with the pet supplement space is rooted in his love for dogs, and for his own personal desire to help his own dog live longer. The formula was born not in a marketing meeting, but from being a dog owner searching for the best supplements for his dog and not being able to find anything he could trust. Dylan says, “sometimes when you see a problem long enough, you have to do something about it.”.
Now, through @DogTrainerApproved and DogTrainerApproved.com, Dylan Blau is inviting dog owners everywhere to raise the bar. “We broke the rules,” he says. “We didn’t cut corners. We developed something that actually works. Truly a simple formula of 11 ingredients with absolutely zero fillers and made in the USA, a brand that any dog trainer can confidently get behind.
Dog Trainer Approved isn’t here to compete in the existing supplement space. It’s here to change the game entirely. And in a market filled with misleading labels over products that get real results, that’s exactly the disruption dog owners, and their dogs, have been waiting for.
