Does My Dog Really Need Supplements?

Not every dog needs supplements—but so many can benefit. 

Walk into any pet store and you'll find shelves full of supplements.

So...does your dog actually need them?

The answer depends on your dog's age, lifestyle and individual needs. Just like us humans, we can eat what we think is a very balanced diet, but sometimes health issues crop up out of the blue, and we need some extra support. 

Active dogs, senior pets, large breeds or dogs with specific skin, digestive or mobility concerns may benefit from extra nutritional support.

The key is choosing supplements with quality ingredients that target your dog's individual needs, rather than giving lots of products "just because."

For example:

• Omega-3s can support healthy skin, coat and joints.
• Probiotics support digestive health.
• Joint supplements may help maintain mobility.
• Calming supplements can support dogs during stressful situations.

Supplements aren't designed to replace a balanced diet—they're there to complement it.
