Supplements

PetSmart -

Supplements are available to address a number of health needs including:

Skin and Coat
If you've ruled out fleas as a cause of your dog's excessive itching, the most likely culprit is dry skin. A supplement rich in essential fatty acids will help with dry skin, plus make his coat extra shiny.

Joint Pain and Stiffness
Your dog's age, size and breed may all be factors contributing to painful, stiff joints. Look for supplements that contain ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin or cosequin to help ease pain and stiffness.

Anxiety
Being left home alone, thunderstorms or unfamiliar guests can all leave your dog feeling a little anxious. Look for natural supplements with ingredients like chamomile or valerian to help ease anxiety.

Please talk with your vet before starting your dog on a vitamin or supplement program. The desired effects may not be apparent for a period of weeks or months depending on the type of supplement being used. Ongoing supplementation may be necessary to maintain desired effects once achieved.
