I agree with anonymously. I don’t trust supplement companies that state their supplements are miracle wonder pills that can prevent a plethora of ailments.
These are the questions I ask myself when I rarely use supplements, hence I would ask the same questions to companies who make supplements for my dog.
1) Has the product triggered any health warnings or sanctions
Searching for a product or its maker on the FDA’s website will unearth any safety advisories or sanctions issued against them. The agency also maintains a list of all recent recalls and market withdrawals. I know this is tough but if this company makes human supplements it might be good to know if they ever had any human supplements recalled.
2) Has the product been tested by independent labs?
A reputable supplement company must have DNA testing to prove that all of there ingredients actually are what they state it has.
3)Is the product too good to be true?
For example they write “Nuvet contains those ingredients and can help strengthen the immune system to help prevent the development of allergies.” There is no supplement that can help this.
or this “Nuvet plus contains those ingredients and can help strengthen the immune system to help keep the body in balance, and less likely to develop the medical conditions that can lead to seizures.” more none sense.
4) Do I really need supplements? If so, am I taking the right amount?
a supplement may have considerably higher quantities of a vitamin or mineral than it says on the bottle. Because certain vitamins degrade over time, manufacturers often provide more than the labeled quantities, to ensure there is still the labeled amount at the expiration date
You should really be careful with giving your dog supplements. There are too many snake oil salesmen in this unregulated industry
