Vitamins and Supplements

At Veterinaire Pet Care, we believe that high-quality pet vitamins and supplements can play an important role in your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. Our veterinary team provides expert guidance on selecting the right nutritional support for your dog or cat’s specific needs.

Benefits of Pet Vitamins and Supplements

Pet vitamins and supplements serve dual purposes in veterinary care. First, they can act as preventive measures to support good overall health and fill nutritional gaps. Second, they can function as adjunctive treatments – complementing primary therapies – for various veterinary conditions.

Common pet vitamins and supplements we may recommend include:

  • Multivitamins for general nutritional support
  • Joint supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin for arthritis relief
  • Omega fatty acids to reduce shedding and improve coat quality
  • Anti-inflammatory supplements for various conditions
  • Probiotics for digestive health and immune support
  • Antioxidants for cellular protection and anti-aging benefits

Professional Recommendation Is Essential

All pet vitamins and supplements, regardless of how common or natural they may appear, should only be given under veterinary guidance. Our team can help determine the appropriate supplements, dosages, and treatment duration based on your pet’s specific health needs, age, weight, and existing conditions.

CBD and Hemp Products for Pets

Another category of pet supplements gaining attention is CBD and hemp products. These have shown promise in veterinary applications for managing various conditions in dogs and cats, including:

  • Pain management
  • Inflammation reduction
  • Anxiety relief
  • Cancer support
  • Appetite stimulation

CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural chemical compound derived from the hemp plant – specifically the stalk, stem, and sterilized seeds of cannabis. Unlike marijuana, properly formulated pet CBD products contain minimal to no THC, the psychoactive compound. Instead, CBD works by helping to regulate bodily functions such as sleep, pain perception, and immune response.

Personalized Supplementation Plans

Before starting any pet vitamins and supplements, including CBD products, consult with our veterinary team. We can provide:

  • Evaluation of your pet’s specific health needs
  • Recommendations for high-quality, appropriate products
  • Proper dosage guidelines based on your pet’s size and condition
  • Information about potential interactions with other medications
  • Monitoring plans to evaluate effectiveness
