Adding a vitamin or supplement to your pet's diet can meet nutritional needs, prevent future health issues, and may even slow the progression of certain chronic conditions.
Probiotic supplements for pets contain strains of beneficial bacteria that are found in a healthy cat or dog's digestive tract. Feeding probiotics helps keep the intestinal microflora in balance, which can in turn aid digestion, immunity, and even mental and emotional well-being. Probiotics can be given to dogs and cats at any life stage, and may be offered in times of digestive upset. For best results, give daily or as recommended by your veterinarian.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that your pet must get from their diet. These healthy fats support neurological function in senior pets and healthy brain development in puppies and kittens. They also support heart health, skin and coat health, and immunity. While they're best known for their benefits for senior pets with arthritis, omega-3 fatty acids are essential and highly beneficial for pets of all ages.
Multivitamins contain a combination of nutrients that work together to support your cat or dog's overall health. They may contain essential vitamins and minerals like B-complex vitamins for energy, vitamin C for immunity, growth, and healing, as well as probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients.
Vitamins and supplements for pets can help tailor their diet for their specific needs. While most commercially prepared pet foods are formulated to meet their basic nutritional requirements, your cat or dog may need extra support depending on their age, breed, health condition, and activity level.
Vitamins and supplements for pets can help:
While vitamins and supplements are not formulated to treat or prevent specific health conditions, they may provide preventative health benefits, nutritional support, and symptom relief.
Talk to your veterinarian before making changes to your pet's diet, especially for kittens, puppies, those with chronic conditions, and those with unexplained symptoms.
PetMeds® offers a wide variety of premium vitamins and supplements for pets of all breeds, sizes, and life stages.
