When to give your dog vitamins? The natural boost their body needs
Although many people only think about supplements when their dog is sick, the truth is that they can be a great ally in prevention and strengthening the immune system .
Our nutritionist recommends using them cyclically or punctually , at times such as:
- Changes in season : general reinforcement of the immune system.
- Medical processes: recoveries or after prolonged use of medications.
- Major routine changes : moving, separations, new members in the home.
- Periods of stress, depression or extra physical exertion.
It's not about giving it all the time, but rather about supporting your natural diet with booster cycles when it makes sense. If you have any questions about which one to choose, you can contact us directly via WhatsApp, and we'll help you choose the best one for your situation.
How are vitamins given?
Easy. Most of our supplements come in powder form and can be mixed directly into food. If your dog is fed kibble, you can mix it with a little fresh food or even water. Others, such as those based on organic coconut oil , can be offered directly by the teaspoon, as a natural snack.
Ideally, they should be given in the morning , as some can have an activating effect. The exact dosage is indicated on each package and is adjusted to the dog's type and weight. They are compatible with all types of diets, from dry food to homemade or BARF.
How do I know if my dog needs them?
Some signs that your dog may be deficient in vitamins are if he has:
- Dry skin or dull hair
- Tiredness or weakness for no apparent reason
- Frequent digestive problems (recurrent diarrhea, loose stools, excessive gas, etc.)
- Loss of appetite or mood
- Low immunity or recurrent infections
But remember: at CRU, we don't sell pointless supplements . Each of our products comes with clear information about what it's used for, when it's recommended, and how to administer it. And if you have any questions, we'll talk to you and advise you.
Types of supplements you can find in this category:
- Multi-function vitamins : general support, antioxidants, coat improvement, energy.
- Specific vitamins :
- Joint support (MSM)
- Liver booster and purifier (garlic, kelp)
- Immunity and energy (coconut, rosehip, taurine)
In short: if your dog has a good diet, vitamins can be that little extra boost to help him feel better at key moments. They're not miraculous, but used properly, they're powerful . Consult, choose, combine, ask. We're here to help you take care of your dog with the same philosophy: natural, real, and meaningful.
