Food supplements for dogs
– the question is, what does my dog really need and what is the right dosage? Feeding errors are not only caused by deficiencies, but can also result from overdosing. It is therefore important to find out about the composition of the food first. The list of contents also shows the additives. The dog’s state of development and health is decisive when choosing a dog food supplement. There is often little active ingredient with a lot of unnecessary and synthetic ingredients at inflated prices. You should also check whether the healthy oil is also available for humans, for example, as the quality and price are usually better. Freshness is also important, as omega-3 fatty acids only have a limited shelf life. Here are some more tips:
What should I bear in mind when buying dog supplements ?
- The right food is crucial!
A healthy diet requires 3 important ingredients:
- High-quality protein – with as many amino acids as possible
- healthy carbohydrates – preferably without gluten
- unsaturated fatty acids – as rich as possible in omega-3 fatty acids
Plus vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The fact that all these elements are natural is not a matter of course. Many foods – including organic foods – are balanced with synthetic vitamins – the so-called E-numbers. These have a decisive disadvantage:
they are triggers of allergies.
Therefore, read carefully what is written on the packaging and opt for naturally contained vitamins and minerals. The pet food industry complains that many owners buy grain-free dog food and reluctantly complies with the following statement: “It’s nonsense, but what can you do!” The fact is that it is not the starch that is bad for dogs, but the extremely high gluten content of the newly bred cereals at over 50%. This is also a problem for us humans. And you know – only the credit card holder can make a difference.

The active ingredient for the clinical picture!
Choose the food supplement with the active ingredients you need – e.g. green-lipped mussel extract – and avoid complete mixtures. This allows you to dose this active ingredient in a targeted manner. If you buy complete mixtures, check the ingredients. Beautiful names are usually only for the good conscience.
