Debunking Common Myths About Dog Supplements

There’s a lot of chatter out there about what dogs really need to stay healthy and supplements are often at the center of the debate. Some people swear by them, others say they’re totally unnecessary. So what’s the truth? In this post, we’re digging into some of the most common myths about dog supplements and clearing up the confusion, once and for all.

Myth #1: If dog eats high-quality food, supplements aren’t necessary

This is a popular belief, but it’s not entirely true. While premium dog food can provide a strong nutritional base, it doesn’t always cover everything. Factors like age, breed, activity level or specific health conditions can increase the demand for certain nutrients. 

That’s where supplements come in. Think of them as targeted support, filling in the gaps where your dog might need extra help. HoliPaw supplements are designed to enhance your dog’s diet, not replace it - focusing on key areas: joints, digestion, skin & coat, anxiety, dental health and ear care.

Myth #2: Supplements don’t work, it’s a marketing scam

It’s easy to be skeptical, after all, there’s no shortage of flashy labels and lofty promises in the pet aisle. But not all supplements are created equal. The truth is, when made with high-quality, vet-approved ingredients and backed by Science, supplements can genuinely make a difference.

HoliPaw supplements are natural, effective and offer targeted support. No unnecessary fillers, artificial colours or mystery ingredients inside. Just what your dog needs, nothing more.

Myth #3: Dog supplements work instantly

We wish this was true! Dog supplements take time to do their job. You might not see a dramatic change overnight, but with consistent use, your dog should feel the difference within a few weeks.

The key is patience and consistency. That’s why HoliPaw supplements are made to be easy to incorporate into daily routines - with tasty chewables, powders and liquids that even picky eaters will enjoy.

Myth #4: All dog supplements are the same

This one couldn’t be further from the truth. Many dog supplements on the market are made with low-quality ingredients, questionable sourcing and vague labeling. That’s why we believe transparency is everything.

Every HoliPaw supplement is:

• Made in the UK, with strict quality control at every step
• Formulated in collaboration with vets, scientists and pet nutritionists
• Crafted with evidence-based, natural ingredients
• Clearly labelled, so you know exactly what’s inside.
  

No fluff, no fillers. Just honest, targeted support you and your dog can rely on.
