nutritional supplements for dogs

A healthy dog ​​that is normally exercised and is fed a high-quality complete feed does not usually need any nutritional supplements. After all, all the important nutrients should already be present in the dog food.

But sometimes it just has to be a little more: some dogs suffer from nutritional deficiencies due to various illnesses, others are under increased stress or have greater physical strain. Other four-legged friends have increased needs after an operation or are lovingly cooked for by their owners, which makes the addition of nutritional supplements necessary. In all of these cases, supplementary feed for dogs can be useful.

What exactly are dietary supplements?

Dogs receive nutritional supplements in addition to their daily food. They can be of plant, animal or synthetic origin and are intended to ensure the supply of certain nutrients such as vitamins, minerals or fats. Supplements for dogs are available in the form of tablets, powders, globules, pastes and oils. Basically, the nutritional supplements are intended to support your furry friend in different life situations and compensate for deficiencies that are not covered by the food.
