    Prevention is Better than Cure: Selecting the Right Health Supplements for Your Pet

    Prevention is key when it comes to the health of our furry companions. By integrating the right dietary supplements into their diet, we can prevent many of the common health problems that afflict our pets, thus promoting a proactive approach to their health management.

     

    Choosing the Right Supplement

    Just as humans have varying nutritional needs, so do our pets. It’s crucial to provide supplements that cater to your pet’s specific health requirements, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

     

    Improved Oral Health with ProDen PlaqueOff®

    Oral health is a significant concern for pets, especially since brushing the teeth can be a struggle sometimes, even though it’s an important step in your routine. ProDen PlaqueOff® is a supplement that can complement regular tooth brushing. Bare in mind, it doesn’t replace toothbrushing, but combined with it, it may help reduce plaque and tartar build-up, contributing to overall dental well-being.

    How to Choose the Right Supplement for Your Pet 

    The need for dietary supplements can vary based on factors such as age, activity level, and overall health. Supplements may be required only during certain life stages or conditions.
    When selecting a dietary supplement, it’s crucial to be informed. Reading the packaging, understanding the ingredients, and knowing the proper dosages are imperative steps in choosing a product that will truly benefit your pet’s health. 

     

    Choosing High-Quality, Certified Supplements for Your Pet

    When selecting health supplements for your pet, it's essential to choose products backed by science and recognized for their quality and effectiveness. Certifications and seals of approval from trusted organizations help ensure that the supplements you provide are safe, effective, and manufactured according to rigorous standards.

    One of the most important certifications in pet dental care is the VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) Seal of Acceptance. Some of our dental care products carry this seal, which means they meet strict standards for reducing plaque and tartar buildup. The VOHC seal is awarded only to products that have undergone rigorous testing and demonstrated proven oral health benefits. By choosing VOHC-accepted products, you ensure that your pet receives high-quality, scientifically validated support for their dental health.

    In addition to VOHC, several other certifications are important for pet health supplements:

    NASC (National Animal Supplement Council) Quality Seal – This seal ensures that products meet high standards for quality, ingredient safety, and accurate labeling. The NASC oversees manufacturing practices and product integrity, giving pet owners extra confidence in the supplements they choose.

    AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) Compliance – While AAFCO does not directly certify products, it sets nutritional guidelines and safety standards for pet food and supplements. Compliance with AAFCO standards ensures that a product meets fundamental nutritional and safety requirements.

    cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) Certification – This certification indicates that a product is manufactured in compliance with FDA guidelines for safety and quality. It ensures that supplements are produced in a controlled environment with strict quality control measures.

    USP (United States Pharmacopeia) Verified Mark – Although primarily used for human supplements, some pet supplements meet USP standards for ingredient purity and accurate dosage. This verification provides additional assurance of product quality.

    At Swedencare, we prioritize high-quality, science-backed supplements to support your pet’s health and well-being. By choosing certified products, you can feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care.

    Filling the Nutrition Gap
    Often, the daily diet may not provide all the necessary nutrients our pets require. Dietary supplements are there to bridge this gap, ensuring that our pets receive a balanced diet that meets all their nutritional needs.

    Veterinarians commonly recommend dietary supplements to support pet health, particularly in addressing issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, itchiness, or poor digestion, according to our interviewed veterinary professional.
