Every pet parent wants the same thing: for their companions to live long, healthy, and happy lives. Alongside regular veterinary checkups and a balanced diet, natural supplements can be a valuable way to support your dog or cat’s wellbeing.
Herbal and nutritional supplements are easy to add to food or give directly, and when chosen carefully, they provide safe, gentle support for the body’s natural systems. At Animal Essentials, we use only clean, well-researched ingredients to help pets thrive without fillers, dyes, or synthetic additives.
But with so many options, how do you know which supplements are right for your pet? Here are some tips based on common needs.
For Active Pets
Lively dogs and cats need strong joints to keep moving comfortably. Over time, all that running and jumping can put stress on their bodies. Supplements that support a healthy inflammatory response—such as yucca root or our Joint Support Formula—can help maintain mobility and ease discomfort, so they stay active for longer.
For Stressed or Anxious Pets
Pets can feel stress too, whether from separation, loud noises, or changes in routine. Calming herbs like valerian, skullcap, or passionflower may help soothe tension and promote relaxation. Our Comfort Plus and Tranquil Timesformulas are designed to support pets in stressful situations, helping them find balance naturally.
For General Wellness
Even if your pet isn’t facing specific challenges, daily supplements can help maintain overall vitality. Fish oil supports the heart, brain, skin, and coat, while blends like Super Immune Herbal Formula strengthen natural defenses. A steady foundation of support can help your pet stay resilient throughout life.
Choosing What’s Right
Every pet is unique. Think about your companion’s age, lifestyle, and specific needs, and always consult with your veterinarian before adding something new. Supplements are most effective when tailored to your pet and used alongside good nutrition, exercise, and loving care.
