In addition to feeding your beloved furry companion a high-quality food every single day, your dog could benefit from the right supplementation. Which supplements should you consider for your dog’s overall wellness and to help him age gracefully? Keep reading to learn about five of the many options out there and remember that you could always consult with your vet for personalized advice as well.
An Over-the-Counter Cannabis Supplement
Yes, there are safe, over-the-counter, non-prescription cannabis supplements that are specifically formulated for the health of pets, including your dog. Containing high amounts of CBD, these products have therapeutic benefits, but they will not get your dog high. In fact, they are made using hemp, so they are legal and can be purchased easily. Check out Canna-Pet to learn more about these cannabis supplements and how they can help your dog with a wide range of problems from arthritis and seizures to emotional problems and more.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Canines
Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of essential fatty acid that your dog’s body needs to maintain the health of the heart, brain, joints, and more. If your dog suffers from skin ailments such as allergies or itchy and dry skin, he could also benefit from a high-quality omega-3 supplement that can be added easily to his meals. If you don’t want to give your dog some fish oil, there are plant-based options as well that you can try.
Probiotics for Dogs
To ensure your dog’s digestion remains healthy and balanced, you can also supplement his diet with probiotics. These not only help support digestion but they can also help support the immune system. So, if your dog has trouble going to the bathroom or he is suffering from diarrhea, consider talking to your vet about adding high-quality canine-appropriate probiotics to his diet.
Bach Flower Remedies for Pets
So this supplement is a little bit different because it is a homeopathic option for canines. Bach Flower Remedies can be administered according to label directions and they are safe and should not cause any side effects at all. Plus, there are a variety of remedies to choose from. For example, Rescue Remedy is ideal for dogs that are too anxious, as it could help them to relax naturally.
A Multi-Vitamin/Mineral Supplement for Dogs
Older dogs, in particular, could benefit from the addition of a high-quality canine-appropriate multi-vitamin/mineral supplement. You can add this to your dog’s meals according to the product’s instructions. The goal is to fill nutritional gaps in dogs that are seniors and may not have the ability to properly break down and absorb all of the nutrients from their food.
When it comes to giving your pet any type of supplement, it is a great idea to talk to your veterinarian first. After all, your vet knows your dog best, and he or she will be able to determine if a supplement is really a good idea or not. This is especially important if your dog is taking medications for a chronic health problem.
