Supplements for dogs and cats
This is the general supplements aisle, and it covers a fair bit of ground — skin and coat support, digestive and probiotic products, calming aids and general wellbeing formulas, alongside the joint-specific supplements that also have their own dedicated aisle nearby. If you're after joint support specifically, that aisle goes into more depth; this one is for everything else.
What's covered here
Skin and coat supplements are one of the bigger sections, often built around omega oils aimed at a dull coat or dry, flaky skin. Digestive and probiotic products aim to support a settled gut, which can be useful around a diet change, after a course of medication, or for a dog or cat with an ongoing sensitive stomach.
Calming supplements, generally aimed at situational stress like fireworks, travel or vet visits, and general wellbeing formulas covering broader nutrition, round out the rest of the aisle.
Using supplements sensibly
A supplement is meant to support a pet that's already on a suitable diet, not compensate for one that isn't, and it's not a substitute for veterinary treatment where an underlying condition needs addressing directly. Introduce a new supplement gradually and watch how your pet responds, the same as you would with any dietary change.
If your pet is already on medication, mention any supplement you're adding to your vet, since some interactions are worth checking even when a product is sold without a prescription.
When to speak to a vet first
Ongoing skin issues, ongoing digestive upset, or anxiety severe enough to affect your pet's daily life are all worth a vet visit before you reach for a supplement alone, since those signs can point to something a supplement won't resolve on its own. A vet can also point you towards the most relevant type of supplement for what's actually going on.
For a generally healthy pet, a supplement chosen to support a specific, mild concern — a slightly dry coat, occasional loose stools around a diet change — is a reasonable thing to try without a vet visit first, provided you keep an eye on how they respond.

Common questions
- What's the difference between this aisle and the joint care aisle?
- This aisle covers skin and coat, digestive, calming and general wellbeing supplements. Joint-specific products, like glucosamine and green lipped mussel formulas, have their own dedicated aisle, since it's a large enough category on its own.
- Can I give my pet a supplement alongside their normal food?
- Yes, that's how supplements are meant to be used — alongside a suitable diet, not as a replacement for it. Introduce anything new gradually and keep an eye on how your pet responds, the same as with any dietary change.
- Do calming supplements actually work for fireworks or travel anxiety?
- Many owners find them helpful for mild, situational stress, though individual pets respond differently. If your pet's anxiety is severe or affects their daily life, it's worth discussing with your vet, who can advise on a broader approach beyond a supplement alone.
- Should I check with a vet before giving my pet a supplement?
- For a generally healthy pet trying a supplement for a mild concern, it's not always necessary, but mention it at your next check-up, especially if your pet is on other medication. If they're showing ongoing symptoms, see your vet first rather than treating it with a supplement alone.
