how to start supplements for your dog: a gentle guide

May 10, 2025

starting a new supplement for your dog doesn’t have to feel complicated. whether you’re supporting aging joints, digestion, or skin health, the key is to begin with calm, consistent care.

here’s how we recommend easing into any new supplement ritual:

1. start small  
even if the label suggests a full dose, begin with half for the first 3–5 days. this gives your dog’s system time to adjust, especially if they have a sensitive stomach.

2. keep it consistent  
supplements work best when used daily. choose a time that fits easily into your routine—like breakfast, dinner, or post-walk. consistency builds results over time.

3. observe gently  
look for subtle shifts: a more comfortable stride, a healthier stool, less itching, or more energy. most changes are gradual and happen from the inside out.

4. pair with a moment  
use the ritual as a check-in—gently stir it into their food, give them a little pat, and know you’ve supported their wellbeing in one quiet act of care.

5. be patient  
natural support takes time. most dogs begin to show improvement within 2–4 weeks, but long-term use is where the real benefits shine.

6. ask us anything  
if you're unsure where to start, how to dose, or what to pair together—we're here. every dog is different, and we’re always happy to help guide you.

remember: supplements aren't a quick fix—they're a gentle layer of support. the kind that builds slowly, like trust, and lasts longer than most trends.
