How do I know if my dog needs supplements?

Determining if your dog needs supplements depends on several key factors: diet, age, health conditions, and lifestyle. Supplements may be beneficial when dogs eat commercial kibble that lacks essential nutrients, when they're seniors needing joint and cognitive support, when they have specific health conditions, when they show symptoms like poor coat quality or low energy, or when a veterinarian recommends them.

While a balanced, high-quality diet should provide most essential nutrients, supplements can address specific needs or help prevent future health issues.

Lyka's supplements enhance our meals' benefits by providing conditionally essential nutrients. They're perfect for dogs with specific health concerns, those at higher risk for developing issues, or for pet parents focused on preventive care.

For dogs with a specific disease or organ dysfunction, we recommend daily use of one targeted supplement. Our supplements contain multi-potent ingredients that create beneficial cross-over effects when combined, making them ideal for dogs with multiple health concerns or those that are generally healthy.
