Why supplements you ask?
Even premium pet foods lose essential nutrients during processing. Supplements help fill these gaps, ensuring your pet receives vital vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients necessary for optimal health.
As our canine companions live longer, they face age-related challenges such as joint issues, digestive problems, and stress. Supplements offer a proactive approach to support their health and well-being.
Just like us, our pets can benefit from targeted daily support, especially in today’s world, where modern lifestyles, genetics, and stressors can impact their health in ways we can’t always see.
Supplements fill the gaps
Supplements are designed to support areas of your pet’s health that food alone may not, like joint flexibility, gut balance, stress resilience, skin vitality, or immune strength.
Help picky eaters
If your pet eats small meals, skips meals or avoids certain foods, daily supplements can offer peace of mind by delivering the vitamins, minerals, and targeted support they might be missing.
More health. Less vet.
Supplements help support your pet's health before problems arise, which can mean less flare-ups, fewer unexpected vet visits, and more predictability in your care routine (and budget).
Growing global trust
Globally and in Australia, the number of responsible pet parents turning to pet supplements is steadily increasing. This is testament to the effectiveness of supplements in supporting pet health and growing trust in this category.

experts say
Even with the most meticulously prepared, species-appropriate diets, there are times when targeted supplementation becomes invaluable. It's about providing what's truly needed to optimize health and address specific imbalances, not just blindly adding pills.
In the quest for a longer, healthier life for our dogs, we must look beyond basic kibble. Smart supplementation, alongside fresh food and an active lifestyle, is a cornerstone of true preventative health.
