Supplements FAQ – What Every Dog Owner Should Know
No. Dogs on balanced, complete diets often get all required nutrients. Supplements are useful for specific needs (joints, digestion, skin, stress) or under veterinary guidance.
Not always. Even natural products can interact with medications or cause side effects. Always check quality and dosage, and consult a vet if unsure.
Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and green-lipped mussel are commonly used to support cartilage and mobility, especially in aging or large breeds.
No. Supplements should only complement a balanced diet, not replace it. They are targeted tools, not substitutes for essential nutrition.
Too many supplements can create nutrient imbalances, digestive issues, or even toxicity. Less is often more – supplementation should be purposeful and measured.
