A dog on a complete food usually gets all the vitamins and minerals they need, so supplements are best used for a specific reason. Here is a guide to the most popular types.
Do dogs need supplements?
Complete dog food is made to provide everything your dog needs each day, so most healthy dogs do not need extra vitamins. Supplements are most useful for a particular need, such as stiff joints, a dull coat, a sensitive tummy or stress. If your dog is on a home-made or raw diet, a multivitamin can help fill any gaps.
Joints and mobility
Hip and joint supplements are the most popular type, especially for older dogs, large breeds and active dogs. Many contain glucosamine, chondroitin, green-lipped mussel or omega-3. Brands like YuMOVE, Seraquin and Synoquin are made for daily use. Give them consistently for several weeks to judge whether they are helping.
Skin, coat and allergies
Omega-3 and omega-6 oils help support healthy skin and a glossy coat. Skin and coat supplements suit dogs with dry, flaky skin or a dull coat, while immune and allergy supplements are designed to support dogs prone to seasonal itching. If your dog scratches a lot, check for fleas first and speak to your vet.
Digestion and probiotics
Probiotics support healthy gut bacteria and are often used during a change of food, after a tummy upset or during stressful times. Protexin is a popular choice. If your dog has sickness or diarrhoea that lasts more than a day or two, contact your vet rather than relying on a supplement.
Calming and stress
Calming supplements use ingredients such as L-tryptophan, L-theanine and herbal extracts to help anxious dogs feel more relaxed. They are popular for fireworks, travel, vet visits and time alone, and usually work best when started a week or two before a stressful event.
Giving supplements safely
Choose a supplement made for dogs and follow the dose for your dog's weight. Chews and powders mixed into food are the easiest to give. Check with your vet first if your dog takes medication, is pregnant or has a health condition, and avoid giving human vitamins, as some ingredients can be harmful to dogs.
