Supplements

Below is a list of supplements that I will use.  I never give all of these ALL of the time and I will rotate through them.  In my humble opinion, I don' t think it's good to "always" do something or "never" do something.  Everything in moderation and use commonsense.

 

VEMMA liquid vitamins and minerals The Vemma Nutrition Program™ consists of Essential Minerals® and Mangosteen Plus™. We believe so strongly in this combination that we offer a 100% money-back, risk-free, empty-bottle guarantee. While there are many juice products on the market to choose from today, most offer very little in terms of critical vitamins and minerals. So why take a juice product and a vitamin/mineral supplement? With Vemma, you get it all!  For the dogs, I give one ounce a day with either breakfast or dinner

Missing Link - Maximum synergy of Essential Fatty Acids -Missing Link - Designing Health - The Missing Link, Canine - PLUS Joint Support Formula - 70519d Glucosamine for the ULTIMATE IN JOINT SUPPORT.

  • Organic, Virgin, unfiltered Coconut Oil -

    Reduces or eliminates odor and bad breath in dogs

    • Clears up skin conditions such as eczema, flea allergies, contact dermatitis, itchy skin, etc

    • Makes coats become sleek and glossy

    • Helps reduce weight, increases energy, improves digestion

    • May help with arthritis or ligament problems

    • Can also be applied topically to cuts, wounds, infected ears, bites and stings

    Recommended Dosage: Solid or liquid it can be added to regular food or given between meals. A good daily amount for dogs is about 1 teaspoon (5ml) per 5kg of body weight (but start at a quarter of this and build up slowly). Use similarly for cats and other animals. These are general guidelines only.

    Some pets may experience temporary side effects such as diarrhoea. If this occurs, reduce the dosage temporarily or cease use if unsure.

    The link will take you to an online source for purchase, but you can also get at Whole Foods.  The key is that the Coconut oil be Organic and Virgin.

 

  • Dog Zymes - when I feed kibble or canned I will use these Enzymes and Probiotics to aid digestion and absorption. They aren't necessary when I feed raw.  Remember I rotate my foods through raw, canned and kibble.

 

  • Grizzly Salmon Oil for Dogs-

    All-natural salmon oil
    Grizzly Salmon Oil is derived only from wild Alaskan Salmon. The salmon oil naturally retains its balanced blend of valuable fatty acids and is further protected by adding all-natural Rosemary Extract. It contains inherent antioxidants and traces of vitamins that naturally occur in the salmon. This all-natural product will not interfere with your dog's intake of vitamins from other sources.

    * Some Cavaliers are predisposed to have lipid deposits on their eyes.  A diet with too much fatty acid could cause this, so don't over-do the Omega Fatty Acids. Remember to rotate and never do one thing for too long.

     

  • Dr Kruger's - Healthy Skin and Coat Formula  -I use this on my show dogs to help get a full healthy, shiny coat.

 

  • Udo's Choice Pet Essentials -

    This all-vegetarian, powdered supplement provides crucial nutrients to augment your dog's normal daily diet. Contains a special blend of synergistic ingredients rich in essential fatty acids, digestive enzymes and phytonutrients with absolutely no fillers, binders or other non-nutrient ingredients.

    Rich in organic seeds, whole foods, herbs, greens and trace minerals in their unaltered, natural state. This is a fantastic choice for a natural nutritional supplement to support overall health!

    • Fiber and enzymes help maintain regularity and support the digestive system.

    • Greens are rich in chlorophyll, minerals and trace elements.

    • Organic flax seeds support the cardiovascular system, help maintain good muscle tone and promote a healthy skin and glossy coat.

 

 

Cosequin is a nutritional supplement to help small dogs and cats maintain healthy joints. As pets age, it is common for their joints to become less flexible which impacts their mobility and quality of life. Cosequin is an exclusive formula to support and maintain the health of your pet's joints. This supplement has kept my two older boys from needing surgery.  They have both suffered joint injuries while playing and Cosequin supplements brought them back to good joint health without surgery. And the great part is, no side effects like NSAIs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories)  or steroids.

A natural, safer alternative for sore joints... with a new approach!
Duralactin is not a drug or steroid, but is a natural product derived from milk. It contains MicroLactin, a patented, special milk derivative that works differently than NSAIDs or steroids. Milk has long been known to have more than just nutritional factors - the anti-inflammatory effects have been known for decades.
Duralactin can help relieve the clinical signs associated with inflammation and help your pet live a more comfortable and active life.

A safer alternative for chronic inflammation:
•Safer, effective management of chronic inflammation, including osteoarthritis.
•No toxic side effects, making it ideal for long-term use.
•Can be used alone or in conjunction with NSAIDs or steroids.
•Highly palatable, vanilla-flavored tablets are scored for easy dosage.

A new immuno-nutritional aid for the management of chronic inflammatory conditions including osteoarthritis and soft tissue injury in dogs. Ideal for long-term use. May be used as a primary supportive nutritional aid to help manage inflammation or in conjunction with NSAIDS or corticosteroids.

High in milk proteins. Low lactose content. Easy dosing schedule. Each tablet contains 1000 mg of MicroLactin (Milk Protein Concentrate). All ingredients are food grade.
