How to shop Pet Supplements

Human and animal products are not automatically interchangeable. Use only products whose label identifies the intended species and directions. Veterinary assessment is important for persistent symptoms, diagnosed conditions, medication use or any urgent change in an animal’s health.

Evidence-based decision guide

Understand the options before you choose

Pets need species- and weight-specific products

Dogs, cats and other animals metabolize ingredients differently from humans. A human natural health product can contain an unsafe dose, sweetener, essential oil or other ingredient for a pet; use only a veterinarian-reviewed product and dose.[5][6]

Canadian veterinary health products use a notification number

Veterinary health products intended to maintain or promote animal health are notified to Health Canada and follow specific ingredient, claim and labelling rules. A notification number is different from a human NPN and does not replace veterinary diagnosis.[5]

Joint, skin and digestive products have different goals

Omega-3, joint ingredients, probiotics and fibre may be used in selected animals, but evidence, dose and safety depend on species, condition, diet and medicines. Product results cannot be generalized from humans or from one animal species to another.[5]

Symptoms should be assessed before supplementation

Vomiting, diarrhea, itching, limping, weight change and urinary symptoms can indicate disease that requires examination or testing. A supplement trial should have a veterinarian-defined goal and review date.[5]

Health-supporting habits

Practical tips beyond supplements

  • Record the pet’s current weight and all medicines.
  • Use the measuring device supplied with the product.
  • Introduce one product at a time.
  • Store flavoured chews like medication to prevent overdose.
Safety first

When assessment matters

  • Breathing trouble, collapse, seizure or suspected poisoning is an emergency.
  • Repeated vomiting, blood, severe lethargy or inability to urinate needs urgent veterinary care.
  • Never give xylitol-containing human products to a dog.
  • Do not apply essential oils to a pet without veterinary direction.
A practical buying checklist

Frequently asked questions

Can I give my pet a human supplement?

Not without veterinary approval. Human strengths and non-medicinal ingredients may be unsafe for the species or weight.[5]

What identifies a Canadian veterinary health product?

A notified veterinary health product carries the applicable Health Canada notification information and veterinary directions; it is not identified by a human NPN.[5]

How is a pet dose selected?

Dose depends on species, current weight, age, health condition, diet and medicines. Use the veterinarian-approved label and measuring device.[5]

Are natural pet products automatically safe?

No. Natural ingredients can be toxic, interact with medicines or be unsuitable for a particular species.[5][6]

Can pets use essential oils?

Only with veterinary direction. Ingestion, skin exposure and diffusion can all be hazardous depending on the oil, concentration and species.[6]

Can a joint supplement replace pain treatment?

No. Limping or mobility change needs diagnosis, weight and activity planning, and pain treatment when indicated.[5]

How long should a pet supplement trial last?

Set the outcome and review date with the veterinarian. Stop sooner for adverse effects or worsening symptoms.[5]

Can I combine several pet supplements?

Only after checking duplicate nutrients, calories, herbs and medicine interactions with the veterinarian.[5]

What information should I bring to the veterinarian?

Bring product labels, daily amounts, start dates, the pet’s weight, diet, medicines and a symptom record.[5]

When is a pet symptom urgent?

Collapse, seizure, breathing difficulty, inability to urinate, repeated vomiting, blood, severe pain or suspected poisoning requires urgent veterinary care.[5]
