The Best Supplements and Food Toppers for Your Pet

Making sure your pet receives proper nutrition is key to their overall health and wellbeing. While most commercial pet food provides essential nutrients for your pet, upping their diet with food toppers and supplements can be a great way to give them an extra boost and target any problems such as arthritis. 

Understanding pet supplements and food toppers 

Pet supplements and food toppers are designed to complement your pet’s diet by providing additional nutrients that can support their digestive health, joint mobility and much more. They can be beneficial for pets who are recovering from an injury, senior pets, or those with specific dietary needs. Whether you’re looking to boost your pet’s overall health or address specific concerns, there’s a wide range of supplements and toppers available to suit your pet’s preferences and individual requirements.  

Benefits of pet supplements and food toppers 

  1. Enhanced nutrition for your pet

Supplementing your pet’s diet with food toppers can provide additional nutrients that may be lacking in their regular food. Some food toppers include the Ziwi Peak range and the Earthz Pets range that contains green lipped muscle which can help with joint issues and arthritis. Different food toppers can help support their overall health, including their immune system, joint health, and skin and coat.  

  1. Can help fussy eaters

Adding flavourful food toppers can entice picky eaters and encourage them to finish their meals. Toppers come in various textures and flavours, allowing you to cater to your pet’s preferences and make mealtime more enjoyable. 

  1. Dietary variety in your pet’s diet

Offering a variety of food toppers can also help prevent mealtime boredom and ensure your pet receives a well-rounded diet. You can rotate different toppers to keep things interesting and provide a range of nutrients from various sources.  

  1. Targeted health support for your pet

Certain supplements are formulated to address specific health concerns or conditions, such as joint support for senior pets or digestive health for pets with sensitive stomachs. Joint supplements such as 4Cyte and Antinol Plus can help with arthritis and joint mobility. And for pets with sensitive stomachs products such as Pro Plan Fortiflora can be helpful for promoting intestinal health and balance as well as a healthy immune system with probiotics. Adding targeted supplements to your pet’s diet can help manage these issues and improve their quality of life.

Popular pet supplements and food toppers to try 

  1. Freeze dried raw toppers

Freeze dried raw toppers are often made from real meat and sometimes can be mixed with fruits and vegetables, offering nutrient rich addition to your pet’s meals. They retain the natural flavours and nutrients of the ingredients and can be sprinkled over dry or wet food for an extra boost of nutrition. You can try brands such as Ziwi Peak and Laila & Me for flavourful toppers. 

  1. Bone broth for pets

Bone broth is rich in collagen, amino acids, and minerals, making it a nourishing addition to your pet’s diet. It can support joint health, improve digestion, and add moisture to their meals which can be important for pets who struggle with hydration. Serve bone broth as a warm treat or mix it into their food for added flavour and extra nutrition.  

  1. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil or flaxseed oil supplements, offer numerous health benefits for pets. They support skin and coat health, reduce inflammation, and promote cardiovascular health. Add a few drops of fish oil to your pet's food daily for the benefits of omega-3s. 

  1. Probiotic supplements for pets

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support digestive health and immune function. They can help alleviate digestive issues, such as diarrhea or constipation, and promote a healthy gut microbiome. Look for probiotic supplements specifically formulated for pets and follow the recommended dosage instructions. 

  1. Joint health supplements

Joint health supplements containing chondroitin, and MSM can help support mobility and reduce inflammation in pets with arthritis or joint stiffness. These supplements come in various forms, including chewable tablets, soft chews, and powder formulations. 

Adding supplements and food toppers to your pet's diet can provide numerous benefits, including enhanced nutrition, increased palatability, and targeted support for specific health concerns. Whether you're looking to boost your pet's overall health or address specific issues, there's a wide range of supplements and toppers available to suit your pet's needs. Consult with your veterinarian or Ask Our Experts to determine the best options for your furry friend and incorporate them into their diet to promote a happy, healthy life.
