The Magical Benefits of Pet Supplements

Hi, I’m Leo! I am a sweet Seattle mutt known for my rambunctious attitude, snores, and very sensitive stomach. My mom got tired of dealing with my digestive issues (even though I volunteered to help clean up every time) and introduced supplements into my diet. Now I love mealtime, and my mom loves the zero post-meal cleanups. 

Nobody likes an upset tummy. Or itchy skin. Or joint pain. Pets are no exception! Luckily, effective pet supplements can help.

Just like regular vet visits, grooming, and an ample amount of snuggles, pet supplements are an essential part of your pet’s health. Here are some important things to know about pet supplements. 

What are pet supplements?

You or someone you know takes daily vitamins, right? Supplements are like daily vitamins for pets.

They can come in many forms, from crumbles to powders to milk. Just like with human vitamins, each pet supplement has powerful ingredients to target your cat or dog’s needs, like strengthening joints or helping with digestion. 

How do you know if your pet needs supplements?

All cats and dogs can benefit from pet supplements. But your pet can give you little (or large) clues that pet supplements would be a productive addition to their diet. 

A sensitive stomach can cause your pet pain, nausea, irregular bowel movements, and loss of interest in some of their favorite activities. If your pup is ignoring their favorite treat or leaving their most prized toy to fend for itself, it’s a sign that they may be struggling with digestion or stomach pain. 

Other signs may be fur loss, a dull coat, allergies, itching… the list is long. 

But the best way to know if your pet needs an extra boost of nutrients is by talking with your veterinarian. Not all supplements offer the same benefits, so talking to your vet will narrow down the best options for your furry family member. 

Why should your pet try supplements?

Good for digestion

Supplements like raw goat’s milk and kefir are useful for pets experiencing digestion problems. The probiotics and essential vitamins will ease digestion and help your pet absorb crucial nutrients.

Introduces important nutrients into your pet’s diet

On top of improving absorption of your pet’s daily food, meal topper supplements will add vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients to your pet’s daily diet. 

Helps your pet age gracefully

You can help your pet’s aging process through the right supplements. Aging dogs are more susceptible to joint issues, so supplements specific to joint support will help them stay lively and happy well into old age. 

Improves your pet’s skin and coat

Healthy skin and coat are so much more than a soft and glossy shine - if your dog is itching 24/7 or shedding excessively, they may benefit from more fats in their diet. Not only will pet supplements cut down on allergies or skin irritations, but fatty acids can also boost systems that fight fungal infections, hotspots, and bugs. 

You can tailor your supplements to your pet’s needs

There are several different types of pet supplements out there - so you can tailor your choices to your pet’s specific needs. 

Whether you notice an issue or your vet suggests a change, Toiffer offers several options and can help you find the perfect supplement for your pet!
