Dog supplements are dietary products that are formulated to provide additional nutrients or support to dogs beyond their regular diet. They can come in various forms, such as tablets, powders, liquids, or chews.

No, human supplements have completely different dosage and ingredients to dog supplements. Giving a dog a human supplement means you are running the risk of over dosage or poisoning.

A general vitamin and mineral supplement, Natural Animal Solutions Organic Seaweed is an excellent choice, as is Paw's by Blackmores DigestiCare or Vetafarm Predamax. All of these contain essential vitamins and minerals, plus other health benefits. Pet prebiotics and probiotics can be a real booster. Products such as Vetafarm Synbiotic 180-S are an excellent choice, as well as Meals for Mutts Intestinal Health Plus. Both of these products support gut health, boosting the immune system and the bodies' ability to digest proper nutrients. Healing the gut can also assist with skin conditions and allergies.

Dog's will generally benefit from supplements when they have emerging joint issues, skin issues, ear infections, general ageing and when coming off antibiotics. Always take into consideration your dog's current diet, as this can often be the root cause of any issues your pet may have.

There are various reasons why a dog might need a supplement. For example, if your dog has a nutrient deficiency, suffers from joint pain, has skin or coat problems, or has digestive issues, supplements may help provide the additional support needed to address these concerns.

Dog supplements are safe when used as directed. It is important to choose a product from a trusted brand, and to always follow the recommended dosage.

It may take a few weeks to see noticeable improvement in your dog's health after starting a supplement. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and give the supplement time to work before expecting results.
