As dog owners, we all want the best for our furry friends. We meticulously choose their food, ensure they get enough exercise, and shower them with love and attention. But one aspect of canine care that often gets overlooked is the importance of supplements. Just like humans, dogs can benefit from vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to support their overall health and well-being and of course similarly to humans it varies from dog to dog which specific support they need.
Nowadays what with the dog industry being worth many millions per year in the UK alone there are many brands with a focus on dog wellness. However if you are struggling to choose a brand to trust, one that I have been really impressed by and can recommend is Supplements Wise.
Supplements Wise really care about dogs and have obviously put thought into every detail of their dog supplement product range. It is not only high quality, effective and natural, it is easy to feed too and the product packaging is designed to be able to fit through your letter box.
So let’s go through a couple of the reasons that you may want to supplement your dog’s diet and take a look at some of the products Supplement Wise offer that may help your dog to be the happiest and healthiest version of themselves.
Supporting Joint Health
In my opinion supporting your dogs joint health is a big one, because we all want to see our pets having fun and enjoying their walks into their golden years.
That’s why If I could only afford to give my dogs one supplement it would be a glucosamine based joint supplement. I know that it definitely makes a difference in terms of comfort and mobility later in life as I take a human version myself!
I guess it is especially important as you dog ages because joint problems such as arthritis become more common. Larger breeds are particularly prone to these issues, but they can affect any dog. Supplements containing glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM are known to support joint health by reducing inflammation and maintaining cartilage. Giving a dog joint support supplement can help keep your dog active and comfortable, and like they say prevention is better than cure so my spaniels have taken a joint support supplement since they were one years old.
Supplement Wise offer Dog Joint Support both in tablet and powder form, the tablets are chicken flavour so if your dog’s are food motivated like mine they will see supplement time as treat time. The powder is great for hiding in food. Both though are made of the same eight high quality and natural ingredients including glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, Green Lipped Mussel and Curcumin.
Supplement Wise also have a Tumeric For Dogs supplement in their range. Tumeric has long been celebrated for it’s medicinal properties and it is especially well known for it’s potent anti-inflammatory effect, primarily due to a compound called Curcumin (yes that is an ingredient of Supplement Wise’s Dog Joint Support too) as well as black pepper which helps with absorption. Now I have never up until now given my dogs Tumeric on a regular basis but I did feed it to my old competition mare later in her life and it made an incredible difference to her ease of movement and comfort. I have started feeding it to my senior dog, Maya who is 10, and will continue to do so. This supplement comes in capsule form which can either be swallowed whole by your dog or mixed in food.
Supporting Your Dogs Digestive System
Digestive issues are common in dogs, whether it’s due to a sensitive stomach, dietary changes, or age-related decline. Probiotics and digestive enzymes can greatly improve your dog’s digestive health. Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria that support gut health, while digestive enzymes help break down food more effectively, ensuring your dog absorbs the maximum amount of nutrients from their diet.
Supplements Wise do a Probiotics For Dogs supplement in their range which again comes in chicken flavour tablet or powder form which also include Post Biotics. This product is made to human grade standards although obviously as the dogs immune system is different from ours it is not advisable to share. It’s worth noting though that Supplements Wise also have a massive range for humans on their site and the company have impressed me so much I am going to be ordering mine from them from now on
Often taking Probiotics can help with itchy skin and bad breath etc so if your pup suffers with any of these conditions it is well worth giving them a try (as with all doggy ailments it is advisable to get your vets opinion first!) Another advantage is that they help to boost your pup’s immune system.
Anyway my spaniels think these are chicken flavour dog treats and love them and it’s a lot less hassle than making kefir!
Anxiety in Dogs
One of the most distressing things if you are a dog parent is seeing your dog nervous or anxious about something. Obviously there is no magic bullet here because it depends on the root of their behaviour, but it’s always worth trying a calming supplement to see if it helps your dog. Although I have not personally tried it on my dogs, I really like the sound of Supplement Wise’s Dog Calm Support Dog Calming Tablets, read more about them on their site.
One of the biggest advantages of buying your dogs supplements from Supplement Wise is the ability to tailor supplements to your dog’s individual needs allows you to provide targeted support that goes beyond basic nutrition. As their supplements are available to buy on Amazon and as I mentioned before, fit through your letterbox it is also an incredibly fast, efficient and economical way to purchase your pooches supplements, and, if you take any order yours at the same time!
Before starting your dog on any supplements, it’s advisable to consult with your veterinarian. They can help you determine which supplements are appropriate for your dog’s specific needs.
Supplements can play a vital role in enhancing your dog’s overall health and quality of life. By filling nutritional gaps, supporting joint, coat, skin, immune, digestive, and cognitive health, and addressing specific concerns, supplements offer a simple yet powerful way to invest in your dog’s well-being. After all, a healthy dog is a happy dog, and who doesn’t want that?
So, take a step towards a healthier future for your furry friend and explore the world of canine supplements on Supplement Wise, your dog will thank you with wagging tails and endless love!
