Some people feel it’s just another money-making scheme based on human behavior and expectations, or part of the “humanization” of pets and pet food. One could argue that a proper diet negates the need for supplements… an argument that may hold true for people as well.
Just how important are pet health supplements? As a pet health expert, I get to meet a lot of people every day who ask me this question again and again. While some dog owners have a good idea of these supplements, some have no idea whatsoever.
Why do dogs need pet health supplements? A lot of my friends ask me this question when I tell them that dietary supplements can’t hurt a dog and they have the potential to help, particularly those that respond to the particular herbs used. In fact, I had the same question in my mind some time back and was looking for the answer.
Bacterially speaking, it’s a mean cruel world. More cats and dogs are on medication then ever before. Why? The short answer is domestication. Breeding wild dogs and cats to accept living with humans is not the problem, domesticating their diet is! To find out what is wrong with the domestic diet let us look to their wild relatives.
Dietary supplements have become a popular way for people to improve their health and to help avoid disease. Many pet owners are finding that supplements can have the same positive effects for their pets. Supplements can be pricey at times and pet owners want to know where to find the best deals while still doing everything possible to improve their pets’ health.
