Pet
Vitamin Products: Pick the One That’s Right for Your
Pet
 With
the plethora of pet vitamin products on the market today,
it can be difficult to figure out which one is best for
your pet’s specific needs. As with humans, different
pets have different needs, and one pet vitamin may not be
fit for every member of the species. Further, pets with
special needs may need special pet vitamin products. For
example, older pets may need higher levels of certain nutrients
that enhance joint health, and pets with recent injuries
or illness need higher levels of nutrients that promote
healing.
The
pet vitamin that you choose not only may be tailored to
the species of your pet, but it can also be tailored to
specific needs. For example, Dr. Prange’s Maximum
Joint Enhancer for Dogs is not only made specifically for
dogs, but it is made to help with their joints. Further,
many products are made with doses for specific sizes. For
example, a pet vitamin may be given in a half-tablet dose
for smaller dogs, while large dogs have a dose of two tablets.
When looking for the right pet vitamin for your animal(s),
make sure that the product gives the dosage size for your
pet’s weight. Obviously if you have a toy poodle,
the pet vitamin dose will be different than for a Great
Dane.
Lastly,
be sure that the pet vitamin you choose does not irritate
any allergies your pet may have. For example, many dogs
cannot handle lactose, but some pet vitamin products have
this as one of their ingredients. Obviously, if your dog
has lactose intolerance or another allergy, you should check
the labels of all products before buying to make sure they
will not aggravate this allergy.
Regardless
of the pet vitamin you choose, both you and your pet can
benefit from the health boost and even improved skin and
fur.
