Nutritional Supplements for Dogs
A healthy dog with a normal activity level that receives high-quality complete feed generally does not need nutritional supplements. After all, all essential nutrients should already be present in their dog food.
However, sometimes a little extra is necessary: some dogs have deficiencies due to various illnesses, others are under increased stress or are subject to greater physical strain. Still others have an increased need after surgery or are lovingly cooked for by their owners, which makes the addition of nutritional supplements necessary. In all these cases, dietary supplements for dogs can be useful.
What exactly are nutritional supplements?
Nutritional supplements are given to dogs in addition to their daily food. They can be of plant, animal, or synthetic origin and are intended to ensure the supply of specific nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, or fats. These supplements for dogs are available in the form of tablets, powders, globules, pastes, and oils. Essentially, nutritional supplements are intended to support your furry friend in various life situations and compensate for deficiencies not covered by their feed.

Furthermore, the essential fatty acids support vision, kidney function, and the immune system.

This allows you to turn dishes you cook yourself for your four-legged friend into healthy and nutritionally complete meals. Naturally, ALL-IN-VELUXE is completely free from attractants, colorings, and preservatives.
Please note that this nutritional supplement is not suitable for supplementing VEGDOG wet and dry food, as this is already 100% nutritionally complete.
