It is easy to become overwhelmed by the glut of supplements for our dogs that are more readily available each day!  And, it is important to remember that supplements are an enhacement, not a substitute for a wholesome, nutritious diet.

Here is a list of some of the common ingredients in canine supplements and a brief description of their function.

Antioxidants:  Vitamins A, C, and E are the most common and they function to slow down the oxidative damage of aging in the dog’s cells.

Chondroitin/Glucosamine:  Promotes joint health by anti-inflammatory effects and also promotes cartilage repair.
