What Supplements Should I Give My Dog?

Benefits of Supplements for Dogs 

When it comes to caring for your four-legged companion, we understand that you want them to have the healthiest diet and lifestyle possible so that they remain healthy and happy with a great quality of life. 

Many of us take supplements to boost our vitamin intake and support our bodies, so why shouldn’t your furry friend take them as well?

There is a wide variety of supplements designed specifically to keep our hounds healthy, offering a quick and easy way to provide your pooch with vital nutrients that can help prevent illness while nurturing overall wellbeing. 

When first beginning a course of supplements with your dog, it can prove helpful to offer them a treat alongside the supplement so that they get used to the process and begin to develop a routine of taking it regularly.

Some pets are reluctant to take medication, supplements, or other pills, but be patient and be sure to give your dog plenty of reassurance so that they can become familiar with this new addition to feeding time.

Types of Dog Supplements and Their Benefits 

With so many dog health products available, it can be difficult to know where to start when choosing the correct supplement for your companion.

These are four popular types of supplements: 

Calming Support

Perfect for nervous pooches or dogs that have certain anxiety triggers, calming supplements for dogs help to soothe the anxiety that can be caused by:

• Fireworks
• Loud noises
• Traveling
• Separation

Nurture Vet Dog Calming Treats are brimming with natural anti-anxiety ingredients such as chamomile, passionflower, and melatonin so that your dog can feel more relaxed and comfortable in stressful situations.

Joint Support 

If you have a young dog, you may think that there is no need for joint support supplements.

While your dog’s joints may be perfectly healthy, joint supplements for dogs help to maintain joint health over a long period of time, allowing your canine friend to move freely without stiffness or pain. These supplements are great for dogs of all ages and may be particularly helpful if you have noticed your dog is less active than usual.

Our Dog Joint Supplement contains a variety of powerful ingredients such as Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM and Omega 3 fatty acids to help support and boost your dog's joint health.  

Probiotics

If your dog struggles with digestive issues such as diarrhea, indigestion, or constipation, probiotic supplements might just be the solution you’ve been searching for.

With different supplements available for small or large dogs, our probiotics help to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in your dog's intestinal tract.

It can be difficult to gauge the gut health of your dog, so be sure to read our guide: What Are The Signs That Your Dog Needs Probiotics? for more information. 

Multivitamins

So many people take multivitamins, so vitamin supplements for dogs are the perfect choice for those first introducing supplements into their pet’s feeding routine.

Multivitamins cater to a variety of vital organs and help to support the immune system, so they’re excellent if you’re after a do-it-all supplement that helps to maintain your dog’s overall wellbeing.

Our Multi-Vitamins for Dogs are enriched with vital vitamins and minerals such as Zinc, Iron, Vitamin-B12, and Magnesium to help your beloved companion feel more energized so that they can live life to the fullest.
