Pet Supplements: What, When, & Why?

PET SUPPLEMENTS

What isn’t perfect about your pet?

We mean with their health! Of course your pet is the most perfect animal on the planet (we knew this!), but they are living beings. And living beings sometimes have hiccups in their bodies and their health.

 

For us as pet parents, it’s our job to recognize health issues that arise, and find a solution that supports comfort, vitality, and longevity. That’s why at Barkfield Road, we are firm believers in adding pet supplements to their diet to help meet specific needs or gaps in nutrition. 

 

Many of us are introduced to pet supplements when the problem has already grown to the point of needing medical intervention. While medications, injections, or surgery may be necessary for your pet at that point, it’s important to think ahead to avoid this outcome.

Your pet’s body is always trying to communicate its health with you; through their excretions, their movements, & their irritations. When you monitor them closely, it’s easy to identify changes when they first arise. Even better, knowing what their breed is susceptible to can help you formulate a supplement plan ahead of time!

 

While the food you feed your pet is technically complete & balanced, this doesn’t mean they are absorbing all that they need. Plus, most diets are missing key nutrients that help your pet thrive.

Before figuring out what pet supplements may benefit your pet, it’s important to find a brand that ensures quality & efficacy. We are happy to carry supplement lines with natural ingredients and no filler ingredients.

 

One of Our Top Pet Supplements: InClover!

InClover was founded in 1996 by a biochemist, Rebecca Rose, who believes nutrition is the key to overall health. She has ensured each supplement is made to the highest standards for animal studies using evidence-based research & complete clinical trials. With this attention to detail, pet owners have seen results with one container’s use.

Now it’s time to see what InClover supplements – one or multiple – are right for your pet!

DAILY MULTI

pet supplements

 

Made with whole food ingredients, this multivitamin goes above and beyond nutritional requirements. With a focus on thriving, not just living, it includes blueberries, turkey tail mushroom, hydrolyzed yeast (postbiotic), & seaweed. These are rich in nutrients in their bioavailable form, making it easy for your pet’s body to reap the benefits. 

BEST FOR…

Any dog or cat who needs an immunity boost, notably pets with allergies or chronic conditions.

CANINE CONNECTIN

pet supplements

 

The only joint supplement for dogs clinically & independently proven to provide comfort and mobility in 15 days. Delivering the 3 building blocks of joints (Glucosamine, Chondroitin, & Hyaluronic Acid) along with 9 powerful herbs, Connectin will keep your dog moving like a pup! 

BEST FOR…

Dogs with arthritis or any hip & joint condition.

Active dogs (even young ones!) to protect their mobility.

DENTAL

pet supplements

 

The easiest way to keep your pet’s teeth clean and their dental health in check is through a powder added to daily food. Many on the market use artificial ingredients that can cause inflammation, whereas InClover uses natural ingredients that work twice as well! Stand-outs in this formula include Goat Milk Whey (remineralizes teeth!) and Kelp (reduces plaque adhesion!).

BEST FOR…

Every dog and cat!!

Dental health is very underrated and keeping up with it can help you avoid thousands (yup!) of dollars worth of vet bills.

 

ALLERGY

pet supplements

While many allergy supplements focus on reducing inflammation, InClover’s actually supports a normal histamine response. The ingredients in this formula work together to provide the most immune support and symptom relief. Mangosteen is included for a healthy response to allergens, while Bromelain aids mucous membranes & Quercetin keeps skin comfortable.

BEST FOR…

Dogs and cats who suffer from seasonal or environmental allergies.

Pets who seem to be allergic to everything (looking at you, pittie babies!).

 

HEART+

pet supplements

 

This cardiac supplement has bonus functions for brain, immune, & muscle health. Taurine and L-Carnitine have been shown to be crucial to almost every cell in your pet’s body. Also referred to as “the fitness molecule”, L-Carnitine maintains lean muscle, healthy weight, and energy levels.

BEST FOR…

Pets who need to lose weight.

Breeds prone to heart conditions, such as King Charles Cavaliers. 

Cats require more taurine.

 

KIDNEY

pet supplements

 

Supporting kidney and bladder function, this supplement can be used as a preventative or treatment for a pre-existing condition. It cleanses, detoxifies, & protects the renal tissue and system. The crucial ingredient of D-Mannose stops bacteria from adhering to the kidneys and urinary tract, reducing stone production.
