Each DOGTOR supplement addresses a different problem: stress, joints, digestion or skin and coat. The key is giving it regularly, and the first effects usually appear after a few weeks. A supplement supports the body and therapy, but it does not replace diagnosis or treatment by a vet.
‘My dog keeps scratching’, ‘my dog gets diarrhoea after eating’, ‘how can I calm my dog naturally before a storm?’ - many owners ask themselves questions like these. We created the DOGTOR line of functional supplements with them in mind.
Remember that supplementation is support, not treatment. With serious or chronic problems, the first step should always be a visit to the vet. Below we suggest how to match a supplement to the most common complaints.
Stress and anxiety - what to give a stressed dog
The situation: a storm is coming, you are planning a journey or a visit to the vet. Your dog becomes nervous, pants, hides or is over-excited.
DOGTOR for calming and relaxation is a supplement for dogs that need natural support. It contains L-tryptophan and herbs such as valerian and lemon balm, known for their relaxing properties. It is worth considering for:
- stress linked to travel, storms and fireworks,
- nervousness when guests visit or at the vet,
- behavioural therapy, as an addition to it.
How to give it: start a few days before the expected stressful event. The supplement can also be used as needed. We also recommend our calming treats with rabbit and herbs.
Supplements do not treat anxiety disorders. They can support therapy, but they cannot replace it.
Stiff joints - how to support the musculoskeletal system naturally
The situation: your dog, especially a senior or a large breed, has trouble getting up, avoids stairs and limps after an intensive walk.
DOGTOR for joints is a herbal blend: devil’s claw, fenugreek, milk thistle, green-lipped mussel powder, nettle, meadowsweet, calendula and yarrow. It works well:
- as support for the treatment of degenerative joint disease in senior dogs,
- preventively in large and giant breeds,
- during recovery after orthopaedic injuries and operations.
How to give it: regularity is key. Give the supplement daily with a meal. The first improvement in ease of movement is usually visible after a few weeks. The supplement can ease symptoms and improve your dog’s quality of life, but it does not replace treatment recommended by the vet.
Sensitive gut - support for the digestive system
The situation: loose stools, wind, recurring digestive problems. A dog like this needs targeted support for its digestive system.
DOGTOR for digestion combines apple pomace and psyllium husk (fibre) with carrot, turmeric, chamomile, papaya, elm bark, fennel and yarrow. It supports gut function and the gut microflora, which also matters for immunity. It is worth considering for:
- indigestion, bloating and mild diarrhoea,
- antibiotic treatment - during and after it,
- food allergies and intolerances, as support.
How to give it: mixed into the food for at least 4-6 weeks, so the gut flora has time to settle. The supplement supports the stabilisation of the microflora, but it is not a medicine for digestive diseases and will not replace diagnosis.
Scratching, dandruff and a dull coat - supporting the skin from within
The situation: your dog scratches intensively, the coat is dull, dandruff appears on the skin. It may be licking its paws persistently.
DOGTOR for skin and coat contains ingredients that support the skin from within: wild pansy, brewer’s yeast, linseed, rosehip, chamomile and nettle. It works well for:
- excessive shedding,
- a dull, brittle coat,
- dandruff and dry skin,
- treatment of skin allergies and dermatoses, as an addition to it.
How to give it: regularly for at least 6-8 weeks. The supplement supports the rebuilding of the skin barrier, but the foundation is treating the cause of the problem.
When to see the vet first
A supplement is a good addition, but in these situations a consultation with a specialist is essential:
- severe separation anxiety, fear-based aggression or other chronic behavioural problems - a vet or a certified behaviourist,
- suspected degenerative joint disease - needs diagnosis and treatment by a vet,
- acute or chronic diarrhoea, diarrhoea with blood, or with lethargy or vomiting - contact your vet without delay,
- persistent scratching, skin inflammation, allergies or fungal infections - a diagnosis from a veterinary dermatologist is needed.
