For a pet-product lead choosing between nutrition, oral and topical routes
A category name alone does not tell the team what to build or review.
01 / 06
Without a clear distinction between PP+ dosed separately and PP+ incorporated into a dry, wet, canned or meat-containing recipe, the project can enter the wrong formulation, testing and regulatory path. PP+ helps structure that decision before a claim or final format is selected.
For the team choosing between a digestive-format brief and an oral-care brief
Dose PP+ separately—or design it into the recipe.
Digestive formats appear first, with oral care beside them. The explorer distinguishes two nutrition routes: PP+ dosed separately under a potential feed-material assessment route, or PP+ incorporated as a recipe component. Meat-containing formats are recipe examples, not a third route.
Nutrition route · 01
Digestive formats
PP+ is dried and milled or micronised peat. First choose between a separately dosed feed-material route and use as a recipe component—including a meat-containing matrix.
Two defined nutrition routes
01
Potential feed-material / separately dosed route
PP+ is dosed separately. The current specification, market and operator review must confirm whether the EU Catalogue 13.10.1 description is applicable; this is not a complete feed or sole daily ration.
02
Recipe component
PP+ is incorporated as one component in dry, baked, wet, canned, biscuit, snack or supplement recipes. A meat-containing matrix is one recipe example—not a third use route—and still requires technical and regulatory review.

Boundary
This does not establish the current PP+ specification, classification, suitability, performance or a permitted claim.
Possible EU Catalogue 13.10.1 assessment route · not confirmed online
A format precedent does not establish PP+ suitability, dosage, performance or a permitted claim. Species, product category, market and technical review still govern the project.
Decision gate
Assess the current PP+ specification against the EU Catalogue 13.10.1 Peat description and the intended market before assigning a feed-material route. Then confirm species, inclusion or daily amount, matrix, process, homogeneity, palatability, microbiology, stability and intended communication.
A current dog tooth-gel format gives the team a concrete starting point before species, exposure route and product category are assessed for PP+.

For the cross-functional team whose animal context is still implicit
Without species and delivery route, the same material question can create four different decisions.
01
Species
Name the animal and life-stage context relevant to the project.
02
Delivery route
Separate feed, oral-care and external-care formats.
03
Market
Permitted use and document expectations vary by jurisdiction.
04
Communication
Define the intended benefit language before substantiation review.
For the nutrition owner defining species, feed category and market
Digestive formats Nutritional context Mobility & life stage
PP+ can be scoped as the separately dosed peat feed material or as one component of dry, baked, wet, canned, snack or meat-containing recipes. “Feed material” does not mean complete feed or sole daily ration. Equine use follows a separate food-producing-species review.
For the oral- or topical-care owner defining exposure
Oral care Skin & coat Paw & topical
A current dog tooth-gel format makes oral care tangible. Intended use, exposure route, PP+ identity and product-specific evidence must still be defined before technical guidance is applied.
For the person who owns the next PP+ decision
An unqualified territory will not answer the project decision. Turn it into a real PP+ brief.
Name the intended animal, product format, market, problem and timing so the responsible person can route the relevant PP+-specific material set.
