In this article, we are going to take a look at 7 supplements to turn your dog into a super dog. Let’s get into it, cha!

1. OMEGA 3

Omega 3 are fatty acid molecules that have been proven to be beneficial to the skin and hair in both humans and dogs. It is primarily found in fish oil. They will turn the furs on your furry friend to look and feel good which can lead to less itching and scratching. It also helps with inflammation, improves cardiac health, improves vision, and brainpower.

2. GLUCOSAMINE

Glucosamine is an amino derivative of glucose. It is found naturally in the fluid surrounding your pet’s joint. Glucosamine has been shown to be effective in relieving joint problems. It helps with joint recovery after an injury or surgery.

It can also ease arthritis pain which can be found in older dogs.

N.B: Glucosamine is a sugar-based supplement, and as such, it can be harmful to diabetic dogs. Please use it with caution.

3. ANTIOXIDANTS

Free oxygen radicals (oxygen molecules that are missing an electron) are responsible for the aging of the body which is given off when food is metabolized. Antioxidants work against these free radicals in the body to increase well-being, vitality and promote long life.

The more your pet is sick, the more free radicals that their body produces. Antioxidants have been proven to boost the immune system of your pets as well as humans, and also support the mental/cognitive functions of the body, thereby, turning your dog into a super dog.

Vitamin A and C are rich in antioxidants.

4. MULTIVITAMINS

A multivitamin supplement contains a mixture of vitamins as the name implies, it is a compound of vitamins. As you know, humans already take multivitamins to boost their health and well-being. Pets also benefit from supplemental multivitamins as they have several health benefits to your furry friend. Dogs need vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, E, and K, along with other minerals in proportionate quantities.

Some of the benefits yielded from supplementing your pet’s diet with multivitamins include:

-Improvement of sight, immune system, and growth.

-Improves metabolism, hormone regulation, and nervous system response (including alertness).

-Helps in wound clotting and enzymatic activities of the cell.

5. PROBIOTICS

A probiotic is a dietary supplement that aids with digestion and the regularity of the digestive system. They help breakdown food so that all available nutrients will be absorbed.

This, in turn, helps with the regular elimination of food and reduces the chances of digestive tract diseases.
