Giving our pets a balanced diet is essential to helping them live a long and happy life. But how do you know if your pet's diet (food) is sufficient or if they need supplements? Then comes the question: What kind of supplements should I add to your pet's diet? If you don't know the answer, keep reading this article; it will help you.
Assuming you feed your pet a diet formulated by a reputable company, such as Royal Canin or Hills Science Diet, in these cases your pet's food is specially designed to achieve a healthy balance to ensure excellent health for your pet.
On the contrary, most foods on the market today lack necessary ingredients and supplements, thus increasing the need for your pet to require additional supplements.
Your veterinarian may recommend giving your dog a small boost in his or her diet with extra vitamins and supplements such as:
• Vitamins A and D which help maintain good bone structure and healthy eyes
• Vitamin B to support skin and muscle health
• Vitamin E to prevent immune system deficiencies
• Omega's 3-6-9 for skin health
• Iron and hemoglobin for healthy red blood cells and oxygenation
• Probiotics for gastrointestinal health
Supplementing your dog's diet can be risky if not done correctly. It's important to always follow a professional's recommendations before supplementing or altering your dog's diet.
