Good to know

• During a food trial, feed nothing but the trial diet: no treats, chews, scraps or flavoured medicines.
• Check what your dog’s complete food already contains before adding a vitamin or mineral supplement.
• Do not add extra calcium to a growing puppy’s diet unless your vet advises it.

Common questions

Can I buy a veterinary diet without seeing a vet?

Many shops sell veterinary diets without a prescription because they are foods, not medicines. However, they are formulated for specific medical conditions, and the labels recommend a vet’s opinion before use. Feeding the wrong one can cause problems, so use them under veterinary guidance.

Does my dog need supplements if it eats a complete food?

Usually not for vitamins and minerals, since a complete food is formulated to supply them. Some owners add targeted supplements such as fish oil or joint products for older dogs. Ask your vet whether one makes sense for your dog.
