Hi! I want to add supplements to my dog's diet, just do not know which ones to add. Lobo is a 1 1/2 yr. old male bullmastiff, 90lbs. Can somebody help me please?:pray:

What do you want the supplements to accomplish? What kind of food are you currently feeding? Are there any specific health concerns you have?

hi leelee! he gets commercial dog food and nothing else. My biggest concerns are his joints and coat. At the moment he is a basically healthy dog, but still growing. If adding supplements can prevent problems he might have in the future then am all for it.

What supplements do you give your dog?

Thanks!

I feed raw, so I really don't add any supplements other then Salmon oil for additional Omega 3's and kelp for trace minerals. I have used ester c (vitamin c) and also vitamin e which helps our large breeds. What kind of dog food do you feed?

I have two bullmastiffs and feed Acana/Orjien. Don't give any supplements but do give them Zukes "Hip Actions" treats daily, packed with healthy stuff for joints/hips.

Which commercial food are you feeding? :)

With a high quality food, you should only have to supplement with glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM and Ester C.
I have a torn meniscus and I take Ester-C with my joint support.... it really does help absorption of the good stuff!

Listen brothers, I'm just wondering that why the people are interested to add supplements to their
pets food. This is not right completely. Artificially manufactured supplements can be injurious for health and
I hope that you have got it. regards

I use vitamin C, fish oil, and a joint supplement. If I were feeding dry food only, I would also supplement with fresh proteins like meat, fish, or eggs.
