Which dog supplements might be useful?
Gut health and digestion
A healthy digestive system plays an important role in your dog’s overall wellbeing. Probiotic supplements contain beneficial live cultures intended to support the balance of bacteria in the gut, healthy digestion and normal stool consistency.
Changes in food, routine or environment can sometimes affect digestion. A suitable probiotic may offer everyday support, but ongoing diarrhoea, vomiting, appetite changes or discomfort should always be discussed with a vet.
Joint health and mobility
Joint supplements are commonly used to support everyday movement, flexibility and comfort, particularly in older dogs, active dogs and breeds that may experience more strain on their joints.
Ingredients vary between products and may include glucosamine, green-lipped mussel and other nutrients associated with joint support. A supplement cannot diagnose or treat the cause of stiffness, so noticeable pain, limping or reduced mobility requires veterinary advice.
Dental care
Daily dental care helps support healthy teeth, gums and fresher breath. Dog dental supplements are available as powders, liquids, chews and sticks, offering alternatives for pets that find toothbrushing difficult.
These products can support an at-home dental routine, but they do not replace veterinary dental examinations or treatment. Persistent bad breath, bleeding gums, difficulty eating or visible dental problems should be checked by a vet.
Skin and coat support
Skin and coat supplements may contain omega fatty acids, oils, vitamins and other ingredients designed to support normal skin moisture and a healthy-looking coat.
Occasional dryness or seasonal sensitivity may benefit from nutritional support. However, itching, hair loss, sores or recurring skin problems can have many causes and should be assessed by a vet rather than managed with supplements alone.

Introduce one new supplement at a time where practical. This makes it easier to monitor how your dog responds and identify anything that does not agree with them.
Supplements are not a substitute for veterinary care. Speak to your vet before use when your dog is pregnant, nursing, unwell, receiving treatment or showing symptoms that concern you.
