With all of the supplements on the market it can get very confusing which ones work and which ones are good for you pet.  It is just like supplements for humans.  You go to the store or online and there are a million different brands and a million different reviews about them-good and bad.

So how can you as the dog owner decipher which supplements are good and which are bad?

There really is not a very good answer for this.  The bottom line is that you need to do your research and you will have to make your own educated decision on which supplements are working.

Somethings to consider are:

You dog’s age

The time of year

Your dog’s activity level

The condition of your dog

Just remember that supplements will never take the place of a good diet and a health exercise program.  They can only enhance an already good diet and work out routine.

Here are a few suggestions on which vitamins your dog may need:

Glucosamine helps with joint fluid and can help with a dogs arthritic problems.

Calcium & phosphorus just as in humans can help keep a dogs bones strong.

Vitamin C can help your pups immune system and tissue repair.

Vitamin B2 can help the immunity level of your dog and boost it’s life span.

Vitamin E works as an anti-immflamitory and can help with your dogs footpads.
