Do my pets need supplements like glucosamine, fish oil, or probiotics?

Question

Thank you Melanie for the article. So is it saying the following 10 supplements (in the article) are not at all helpful? Should I be giving any supplements at all? what do you think about glucosamine, fish oil, probiotics and enzymes? I use Glyco flex, Nordic naturals and Conklin products.

You are welcome for the article! Basically what the article is saying that there isn't a lot of research done in supplements in animals, and really need more research done to determine they are beneficial or not. I certainly always recommend glucosamine to my clients in terms of joint problems, and I do feel it's beneficial. Fish oil can be beneficial well, but it's important not to give too much because that can lead to an interference in wound healing. I think the supplements you are giving now are fine :-)
