What's your dog struggling with?
Pick one. I'll show you the first thing I'd reach for, and exactly why.
Cat parent? The Gut and Itch picks are made for cats too, and there are cat joint and fish oil picks below.
Soft stools, gas, a sensitive stomach?
- Soft stools
- Occasional loose stool
- Gas
- Sensitive stomach
- Fiber for dogs
- Prebiotic for cats
- Gut health
Proviable 5-in-1 Fiber Powder
For dogs & cats · 200 g
Fiber is the most underused tool for gut health in veterinary medicine, and this is the fiber I reach for: five sources plus prebiotics that feed the good bacteria already living in the gut. Give it a week; the good stuff takes time.
- One jar covers the 4-lb cat and the 100-lb shepherd
- Disappears into wet food
- For the pet with chronically soft stools who is otherwise healthy, or anyone supporting gut health before anything goes wrong
$42.99
Call your vet instead if there's vomiting, lethargy, or blood in the stool. A puppy with diarrhea needs a fecal first.
Licking paws, scratching, itchy ears?
- Paw licking
- Scratchy ears
- Itchy skin
- Dry, flaky skin
- Dull coat
- Face rubbing
- Seasonal itch
- Skin & coat support
Dermaquin Skin & Coat Soft Chews
For dogs & cats · 60 ct
Why does my dog lick his paws? Usually because his skin barrier is letting allergens in. Dermaquin is the foundation for every foot-licker and belly-scratcher I see, and the skin support I start before I ever think about prescription allergy medication.
- Hardy kiwi, omega-3 and omega-6, plus PEA to help calm the itch
- A chew that feels like a treat
- For the paw-licker, the no-fleas scratcher, the face-rubber, and the pet with recurring ear trouble
From $29.99
Hot spots, hair loss, open sores, or a smelly ear need an exam first. Once that's treated, this is the daily support I add.
Stiff after a nap, slow on the stairs?
- Stiff after resting
- Slow on stairs
- Senior dog mobility
- Hip & joint support
- Large-breed joints
- Active & sporting dogs
- Fish oil for dogs
- Senior cat stiffness
Hip & Joint Starter Bundle
For dogs · Cosequin Max Strength + Welactin Omega-3
Every arthritic dog in my practice goes home with two things: a joint supplement and a fish oil. This is that pairing in its simplest form, for the dog just starting to slow down or stiff after resting.
- Joint support plus omega-3 in one order
- Both feel like treats, so it's easy to keep up
- For the dog slowing down, and the active or large-breed dog you want to support early
$47.46
A dog that's limping, won't bear weight, or cries out needs an exam today. A fish allergy or history of pancreatitis? Check with your vet first.
Cosequin Joint Health Sprinkle Capsules for Cats
For cats · 80 ct
Cats hide stiffness well. By the time she's not making the counter anymore, it's been building a while. This is where I start: the capsule opens over wet food, so no pill and no fight. For the senior cat, or the cat who's stopped jumping up.
$21.99
A cat who's suddenly limping, hiding, or crying when touched needs an exam, not a supplement.
Welactin Omega-3 Tidbits for Cats
For cats · 5.29 oz
Cats are hard to supplement, and this is the exception. A scoop of tidbits on the bowl, and even my pickiest patients come back for more. One fish oil supports skin and coat, joints, heart, kidneys, and brain.
$24.99
Skip it for a cat with a fish allergy. A cat who has stopped eating is a call to your veterinarian, not a topper.
I only sell what I'd give my own pets.
