One of the biggest arguments against raw feeding is probably the lack of nutrients compared to formulated dog food. Here is my sharing of Happy’s variety of popular supplements. Do remember to speak with your pet’s veterinarian before starting any supplement or vitamin for your dog.
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is found naturally in the cartilage that cushions joints. Happy is genetically susceptible to joint issues; I feed Happy with a multivitamin that includes glucosamine.
Fish Oil
Omega-3 fatty acids included in fish oil for dogs are intended to enhance the coat’s quality and reduce skin allergies. It is an important supplement to upkeep Happy’s glossy coat.
Probiotics
Probiotics reside in the body naturally as yeasts and live bacteria that help digest and support intestinal health. They can also stop dangerous bacteria, such as E. coli, from growing. Happy take probiotics every day, and it helps her, as shown in the quality of stools with sensitive digestive systems
It is important that you should look out for
- Reputable brands from a respected company, preferably one specialising in supplements or have commissioned clinical studies of their products.
- Regulation stamps and batch numbers that signal some level of quality control
- Know the ingredients you’re looking for and check the labels to make sure the product contains them.
When taken correctly and carefully, dog supplements are an excellent method to guarantee your beloved companion gets the minerals and vitamins that they need to live a long, healthy life.
