Every
pet owner wishes the best for his pet and this includes the diet and
supplements.
There are many pet owners who take the supplements and even give it
to their pets. They feel that the supplements will do a wonder for
them too. Yes, in some cases your pet may need additional
supplements if they are not getting proper diet. The good news is
that if you are providing your dog with high quality food, they
should get all supplements needed to live a healthy life.
Here are some of the tips to
feed your pooch a variety of healthy food to increase his energy and
make his coat shinier:
Steamed and Raw Veggies For Your
Senior Dog:
Feed
your doggie with raw and steamed veggies especially in his golden
years. Chop finely or grate the veggies and mix it with dog's dry
food. Give the food to canine with high antioxidants and high fiber.
Sweet potatoes are full with high antioxidants that helps in curing,
preventing and even fighting from the affects of aging. If your pooch
has got diarrhoea then pumpkin is good for him.

Probiotics
are living micro-organisms. It is good for the pet who has got
gastrointestinal problems like diarrhoea or constipation. Probiotics
are often sold as supplements. They work by restoring the proper
balance of intestinal bugs by introducing healthy bacteria into the
dog's system. Don't use them until and unless directed by the vet.
Omega
3 For Itchy And Allergy Pup:
If
your dog has red itchy and allergic skin most probably the vet will
prescribe an omega 3 with fatty acid supplements for your pooch with
some other medication. It is good for optimal dermatological health.
It is used for treating your pet's skin conditions, allergy
dermatitis, arthritis, kidney disease etc. Omega 3 also helps to
control your pet's inflammation, eases arthritis pain, and benefits
the kidneys and heart. It assists in fighting infections, promoting
healthy skin and shining coat of your pooch. Don't include excess
amount of fatty acids in the food as it may cause diarrhoea. Always
consult your vet before giving any supplement to the pet.
Omega 6 For Fido's Healthy And
Shiny Coat:
Omega
6 fatty acids are required for reproduction, immune function, growth
and skin health of your pooch. It contains fat and even contributes
to calories in your dog's diet. Mix one teaspoon of vegetable oils
such as sunflower or safflower seed in your dog's food if he is a
puppy. For larger breeds you need to add tablespoon of oil for best
results. Before giving this speak to your vet.
Keep
in mind there are many types of branded supplements which you can buy
over the counter. These supplements are not monitored, studied or
controlled by officials. Don't just go for any of the supplement for
your dog without consulting your vet. Be sure that before adding the
human food to your dog's diet talk to your vet which ingredients
would be good for him. Don't give supplements which are not necessary
to your pooch as it may lead him to problems.
