It has become commonplace for humans to incorporate a daily multivitamin as part of their daily diet. There are different formulations designed for young kids, kids, middle-aged adults, senior citizens, and so on. It stands to reason that just as human beings can benefit from adding their meals with minerals and vitamins that are not easily available in their close environment, so might our pets also benefit from supplements designed particularly for their needs. In fact, a lot of pet owners have already discovered the many health benefits of pet supplements, whether via a vet’s recommendation or their research.
1. Your pet has vitamin deficiencies–there may be more than one reason why your pet may be vitamin deficient. Vitamin deficiencies, especially vitamin D is pretty common since it is difficult to obtain from the diet. However, a good way around this problem is to feed your pet plant-based multivitamins that offer a good supply of key vitamins, including vitamin A, B, C, D, and K.
2. Your pet has oral health problems – pets, especially dogs, can easily become prone to a poor oral health, which in turn can adversely affect the rest of their health. From heart disease to infections, poor dental health can take a toll on your pet’s overall health. There are numerous pet oral health supplements, such as Pettura, that help fight tartar and support dental health.
3. Your pet experiences joint Discomfort – it is common for pets, especially older ones, to become more vulnerable to joint pain and arthritis. If your pet is one of them, then it is time you consulted your vet about supplements that will help your pet overcome the pain. For this issue, chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine are the dream team when it comes to supplements since they help strengthen and support joints in all dog breeds. Your vet will be able to recommend you the correct dose, so make sure to check with them before feeding your pet a new supplement.
4. Your pet eats homemade food – if your pet lives on homemade food, there is a good chance that they may not be getting the optimum intake of vitamins and minerals as they need. This is because cooking destroys most of the nutrients, plus you may be able to prepare a well-balanced diet for your pet regarding nutrition, which may end up leaving up deficient in certain nutritional aspects. While there is nothing wrong with feeding homemade food to your pet, it is still one of those cases where you might need supplements to compensate for the loss or lack of nutrition.
5. Your pet has a weaker immune system – if your pet gets sick often or very easily, that might indicate a weak immune system. In such a case, your vet may be able to recommend a pet supplement that will help support a healthier body.
