What To Look For In Dog Food Supplements

Dog food supplements are full of helpful ingredients that can keep your dog healthy and make up for dietary needs not currently being met by dog food alone.


There are many supplements currently on the market, and they come in a variety of flavors and forms such as pills, powders, treats, and liquids. These supplements can help maintain the general health of your dog, provide preventative care, and even relieve your dog of many minor health issues. Several of the most common types of dog food health supplements are listed below:

  • Daily vitamins

  • Protein additives

  • Digestive enzymes

  • Glucosamine and chondroitin - Arthritis/joint pain

  • Omega-3 fatty acids - Shiny coat/skin health

  • Vitamin C - Healthy gums and teeth

  • Vitamin A - Healthy vision

Final Comments

Speaking with your veterinarian is the best way to determine which supplements are best for your dog. Since they are familiar with your dog's medical history, they would be the best judge of what your dog may currently be lacking in its diet. They can also tell you which supplements might throw off the nutritional balance of your dog's food, and which supplements might be potentially harmful to your dog. PETCO, Only Natural Pet, and DinoVite provide some of the most popular pet supplements on the market.
