Dietary Supplements For Dogs

 

Quality Dog Dietary Supplements

Vitamins and supplements are essential to dogs, just as they are to humans. Vitamins play an important role in the structure and function of a dog's body, ensuring that everything from its digestive system to its muscle growth works properly. If your pup does not get enough of a certain vitamin, it can cause health problems and have long-term effects on their health. Dr Carl offers dog supplements and vitamins from brands like Paw, Vetalogica, and Virbac.

A dog supplement can improve your pup's joint health, control their allergies, improve their urinary system and kidney function, reduce their anxiety, and assist them in maintaining good dental health. There are a variety of dog supplements available, including hard chews and tablets.

Dogs' mental states can be impacted by a variety of factors. Taking your dog on vacation or moving them into a new home can be challenging if they're experiencing nervousness, hyperactivity and anxiety. The variety of behavioural health dog supplements we offer here at Dr Carl can help reduce these symptoms in dogs.

Before you buy supplements for your dog, there are a few things you should know:

 

• Do not assume that dog supplements are the same as human supplements. 
• Consult your veterinarian before giving your dog supplements. Medical attention may be necessary for your dog if there is an underlying condition. A dog taking medication could be adversely affected by supplements, even if they are organic.
• The brand you choose should come from a reputable company, one that specialises in supplements and has conducted clinical trials as well as an independent certification.
• Be cautious about claims that seem too good to be true. Cancer, parvo, or other serious diseases cannot be cured by supplements.

FAQs

 

Which supplements are recommended by veterinarians?

Probiotics are recommended by vets for dogs with digestive issues, omega fatty acids are recommended for dogs with skin care issues, and glucosamine and chondroitin are recommended for those with joint problems. You vet will likely recommend a specific canine supplement based on your dog's health history, breed, age, diet, and activity level.

 

Are dog supplements and vitamins necessary?

Vitamins and supplements are necessary for some dogs, but you should always consult your vet before supplementing their diet. All the vitamins and nutrients dogs need to maintain good health are found in most commercial dog foods. It may be beneficial for some dogs to take additional nutrients, such as glucosamine, for joint health, especially if they suffer from certain health challenges, including arthritis and chronic disease. Your veterinarian can provide you with advice on which supplements your pet might benefit from.

Make sure your furry friend gets the vitamins he or she needs to stay healthy and happy.
