Best supplements for my senior dog's aging and seasonal itching?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 10 years and 3 months old | 40 lbs

Hi there. I have a ten year old female dog... I was just curious of things i could give her at her age to aid in her ageing. She still gets around well and plays with our younger dogs and what not. Just want to make sure shes getting everything she needs. Also she breaks out itchy all over every fall and late winter-spring, anything i could do for that? Ive always just done a bath in the oatmeal doggie shampoo.

Hello. The best thing to do is start Bella on a good glucosamine supplement. Products made by Nutramax like Cosequin are excellent. A good quality fish oil supplement may be started, too, as this can help some aging changes & may also help with her itching. Do consider one of the Nordic Natural fish oil supplements as they are highly regarded by veterinarians. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
