When it comes to food for our pets, we choose only the best brand available in the market. But even then, our pets need to be brought to animal hospital Virginia Beach for digestive disorders or food allergy. While good pet food brands offer nutrient-rich options, they often lack essential ingredients needed for pets’ complete wellness.

Lack of nutrients in a pet’s diet can lead to various ailments like developmental disorders, UTIs, skin disorders, etc. Luckily, there are plenty of supplements that you can add to their diet and significantly reduce the symptoms of nutrient-deficiency disorders.

If you are on the lookout for the best dietary supplements for your pets, check out this list.

  1. Table of Contents

    • Glucosamine
    • Fish Oils
    • Lysine
    • Milk Thistle
    • Probiotics

    Glucosamine

 If you have an adult pet at home, glucosamine is something you should add to your pet’s diet. Glucosamine helps older pets find relief from joint pain. Early use of glucosamine supplement has proved to be an effective measure to prevent joint pain or arthritis in animals. However, glucosamine only works in preventing joint-related ailments and not treating it.

If you consider adding glucosamine to your pet’s diet, make sure you don’t give them human-grade glucosamine. Pets are unable to digest glucosamine made for human consumption, and thus, it is not suitable for pets. You should also consult vets at pet hospital Virginia Beach before buying glucosamine for pets.

  1. Fish Oils

 Fishes are loaded with omega-3 and other fish oil supplements that are great for treating skin allergies in pets. Fish oils contain fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that are essential to keep the pet’s coat and fur healthy and shiny. So, next time you buy fish oil supplements for your pet, always look for EPA and DHA on the label first.

  1. Lysine

L-lysine is another essential amino acid that must be a part of your pet’s diet. L-lysine helps in the production of antibodies and enzymes needed to boost the immune system in pets. This amino acid also assists in the absorption of calcium. If your pet is susceptible to chronic viral infusions or feline herpes virus, you must add an L-lysine supplement to their diet.

  1. Milk Thistle

 For ages, we have been using various forms of milk thistle in our diet. They are known as liver herb and extremely beneficial for pets as well. Silymarin is an active compound in milk thistle that effectively treats various diseases like kidney stones, toxicities, lead poisoning, liver diseases, and much more. Moreover, milk thistle supplements are safe for pets and have no known side-effects on pets, so that you can add it to your pet’s diet without any worry.

  1. Probiotics

 The intestinal tract of humans and animals is home to billions of healthy bacteria known as microflora. These bacteria are responsible for keeping the gut healthy and in optimal condition. However, due to disease, stress, or sudden dietary change, the microflora can start to deplete, leading to conditions like diarrhea or vomiting. During such time, giving probiotics to pets can help in the repopulation of friendly bacteria in the gut. Probiotics are microorganisms that are beneficial to the body and play an essential role in keeping our gut healthy. You can either look online for probiotics supplements for pets or consult your vet at animal hospital Virginia Beach.
