Supplements & Pets
Why they are essential for their well-being
Our pets are family members and their health is our top priority. Just like us, puppies and kittens need a balanced diet to maintain their health and vitality.
But why do they need nutritional supplements?
- Covering nutritional gaps: Even the best food cannot meet all of a pet’s needs. Supplements can provide the extra vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed for a complete diet.
- Special needs: Pets with specific needs, such as the elderly, sick or allergic pets, can particularly benefit from supplements.
- Improving the quality of life: Supplements can help improve the quality of life of pets by boosting their immune system, improving skin and coat health, and promoting good joint function.

Answer: The time it takes to see results varies depending on the type of supplement, your pet’s condition and other factors. Some supplements may show results in a few weeks, while others may take longer. It is important to be patient and follow your veterinarian’s instructions.
