Supplements for dogs are flooding the market and if you don’t which ones are best for your dog, you can be easily overwhelmed by the gazillions of options out there. Whatever may be the case, always keep in mind that joint supplements differ in quality and there are manufacturers who are eager to cut corners in production with the ultimate aim of bigger monetary gains without any thought about compromising the health of pets that will be given their supplements. Here are tips to help you choose a quality safe joint supplement for your pet:
- Check product labels especially the active ingredients. The most popular ingredients of joint supplements are glucosamine, chondroitin, omega-3 fatty acids, MSM, green-lipped mussel, turmeric, and hyaluronic acid.
- Check if the active ingredients/s are expressed in milligrams. If it’s not, there is a possibility that the amount incorporated in the formula is less than the standard and won’t be beneficial to your dog.
- Joint supplements are more appealing to dogs when they are made as flavored chews.
- Ask if there is a hypoallergenic option because some dogs can be very sensitive to certain active ingredients in supplements.
- An ideal joint supplement for dogs should have 2 or more active ingredients.
- Go for joint supplements made by reputable manufacturers.
- Call your veterinarian Aurora, CO for recommendations.
