Supplements are a cornerstone of comprehensive veterinary care, offering targeted support to improve your pet’s quality of life. At Alisos Animal Hospital, we’re committed to personalized care, recommending supplements that address the unique needs of your pet. Whether it’s joint health, skin support, behavior, or overall wellness, we provide high-quality products designed to keep your pet thriving.

Overview of Common Supplement Categories

At Alisos Animal Hospital, we focus on supplements that address the most common health needs in pets. Here’s a closer look at the categories of supplements we recommend:

1. Joint Health Support

Aging pets and breeds prone to arthritis or joint problems benefit greatly from joint supplements. Key ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM help maintain mobility and reduce discomfort.

2. Omega Fatty Acids

Supplements rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like EPA and DHA, promote a shiny coat, healthy skin, and support cardiovascular health. These are ideal for pets with skin sensitivities or inflammatory conditions.

3. Behavior and Brain Support

Anxiety, stress, and age-related cognitive decline are common issues in pets. Supplements that include calming agents or antioxidants can help support normal behavior and improve brain function.

4. Liver Support

Liver health is critical for detoxification and overall well-being. Supplements like Denamarin®, containing S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) and silybin, support liver function and cell repair.

5. Vitamins and Multivitamins

Even with a balanced diet, some pets benefit from additional vitamins to support their overall physical health. Multivitamins ensure your pet gets essential nutrients that may be missing from their food.

6. Hydration Support

Hydration plays a vital role in your pet’s overall health, particularly for cats, who are often prone to urinary issues. Nutrient-enriched water products can help increase total liquid intake.

How to Choose the Right Supplements for Your Pet

Every pet is unique, and selecting the right supplements depends on their specific needs. At Alisos Animal Hospital, our veterinarians consider factors like your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and health conditions before making tailored recommendations.

Tips for Safely Introducing Supplements

  • Start Gradually: Introduce one supplement at a time to monitor for any adverse reactions.
  • Follow Dosage Instructions: Administer supplements exactly as directed to avoid overdosing.
  • Consult Your Vet: Always check with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement to ensure it’s safe and effective for your pet. Supplements can interact with medications, and some supplements are not recommended for pets with certain medical conditions.
  • Purchase Wisely: Cheap supplements are often unregulated and untested. Purchase your supplements directly through a veterinarian or veterinary pharmacy to ensure quality products.

Regular Veterinary Exams Ensure Effectiveness

Supplements are most effective when paired with regular check-ups to monitor your pet’s overall health and adjust their regimen as needed. Learn more about the importance of pet wellness exams.
