The UK dog supplement market is now worth over £280 million a year—and growing fast. But here’s the catch: it’s barely regulated. 😬

That means products like multivitamins, joint chews, and C*D oils don’t need to prove they work, aren’t required to undergo safety testing, and may not even contain what’s on the label.

Yet more than half of UK dog owners give supplements to their pets—spending an average of £60 per dog per year.

💡 “Natural” doesn’t always mean safe. And “veterinary formula” doesn’t always mean tested.

âž»

What you can do:
✔ Always talk to your vet first
✔ Look for third-party tested products
✔ Be cautious of miracle claims—especially with C*D and ‘cure-all’ multivitamins that can’t tell you the vitamin breakdown and are effectively just crushed up seeds.

đŸ¶ Thinking of Cooking for Your Dog? Read This First đŸČ⚖

Home-cooked meals can feel like the ultimate act of love—especially when your pup is recovering from illness. But without careful planning, those well-intentioned meals can lack the nutrients your dog desperately needs to heal and thrive. I am speaking to more and more people who are cooking for their dogs, but with unbalanced recipes missing vital nutrients. Nutritional deficiencies always have long term consequences - it’s just a matter of time.

đŸš« Unbalanced food = incomplete nutrition.
That’s a big risk, especially during recovery from illness or an operation when every vitamin and mineral matters.

✅ If you’re preparing fresh meals, it’s crucial to use a recipe formulated to meet FEDIAF guidelines—the European standard for complete and balanced pet nutrition.

💡 No recipe? No problem: A high-quality, commercial complete food is a far better choice than unbalanced homemade meals. It takes the guesswork out and ensures your dog is getting everything they need—every single day.

👉 When in doubt, choose balance. Whether that’s through a vetted recipe or a trusted commercial food, your dog’s health depends on it.

If you’d like to talk about cooking for your dog using balanced recipes (I use software to ensure balance) or about other options if your dog is reluctant to eat their normal food due to illness WhatsApp me on 07427158375 for a consultation

If you are working with a canine nutritionist who is recommending an elimination diet, make sure that the food they are telling you to feed to do the elimination diet is complete.
If they are telling you to cook one protein and some vegetables that is not complete.
Vitamin deficiency can present as intolerances. The length of time that it takes to do an elimination diet (which can vary) is a length of time that feeding a non complete diet will have an impact.
Elimination diets must be done with a complete diet.
Complete nutrition is vitally important.
You can’t wing nutrition for dogs.
For my nutrition clients who want to cook I use software that helps me ensure the recipes are FEDIAF complete.
For my clients who want to do elimination diets I use a truly single protein complete food. I don’t make it complicated. It’s a simple process. But they will at all times be receiving a complete nutrition profile.
Make sure your nutritionist is using FEDIAF balanced recipes, or is recommending a complete food.

In the UK the market for pet supplements is worth around ÂŁ100 million and growing at 7% per year.

It’s big bucks and it trades on knowing that you’ll do anything to make your dog live as long as possible.

Are pet supplements regulated and safe? There are no precise rules or regulations for pet supplements in the UK.

In MOST cases those supplements and multivitamins are COMPLETELY unnecessary.

If you’re feeding a high quality balanced dog food (of whatever type) it’s balanced and you shouldn’t be adding additional omegas, vitamins or other things to boost that food. It’s already balanced. There’s one dog multivitamin on the market that I see everywhere that particularly drives me nuts as they can’t tell you the breakdown of the vitamins
. Unbelievable.
If you’re cooking for your dog or home prepping raw you may well have to add a supplement in the form of vitamin E, Zinc, omega-3 among others. But this should be done with a nutritionist to ensure balance.

If there is a specific medical requirement, a deficiency consult a canine nutritionist and add appropriately

I do use supplements! Soil based probiotics and very high quality joint supplements for my two are regular additions.

But always know why you’re doing it, and don’t add randomly. At best you’re wasting your money and at worst you’re unbalancing their food

One year ago today I picked up a tiny staffie puppy who was the size of a mouse.

Tiny, exhausted from her traumatic beginning and riddled with Giardia she was a very sorry sight.

Today that tiny what I thought was a staffie is this ginormous mastiff who does not lack confidence in any way shape nor form and couldn’t give a stuff about her traumatic beginning because she’s living life with all her enthusiasm and is little Miss Popular Pants everywhere she goes.

2.9kg to 45kg in 12 months. Well done Betty đŸ€Ł
Big beautiful Betty.

My wilful, joyous, clown of a k**b dog. You’ve destroyed most of my things and eaten all of my money, but I do love you.

Alans grass allergies have been horrible this year.
For those who’ve followed me while, you’ll know that Alan hasn’t always had allergies. They were stress induced after we lost Bailey and Tabitha so tragically and so close together a year ago.
They came back this year though.
He’s intolerant to chicken but summer grass/ pollen in the killer.
These are photos of the last two weeks - from his super bad flare up, covered in bumps, sore skin and chewing his skin to today where his skin is smooth and his fur is already coming back and he doesn’t scratch. He’s got a bit to go till his fur is back in perfect condition but I’m thrilled with the progress.
How have we dealt with it?
Wiping him down with iodine and green tea after every walk.
bovine colostrum once a day in food
PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) added to food daily
Reducing histamines in his diet as much as humanely possible

Intolerances - it’s not the same as an allergy.
An intolerance is a gut response, an allergy is an immune response.
Dog’s with protein intolerances typically have upset stomachs and are gassy. The poor gut heath caused by intolerances can lead to itchiness.
There are saliva tests that you can do to identify what intolerances your dog has - this will help massively to identify your dog’s dietary requirements to manage appropriately.
Alternatively you can do an elimination diet.
When considering an elimination diet be very careful. Just some things to consider

đŸ¶ elimination diets must still be nutritionally complete. Some deficiencies can cause symptoms that look like intolerances. Plus having a nutritionally complete diet is vital for health and longevity.
đŸ¶ is the food you’re feeding genuinely single protein. Check ingredients and check again.
đŸ¶ is one of the other non protein ingredients in the food causing a reaction.
đŸ¶ what is the fat content of the food. Richness can be the cause of a dog getting an upset stomach which would look like a reoccurrence of the intolerance but is in fact the fat content.
đŸ¶ deciding what proteins to trial. If you know a safe protein then great. If not good choices are foods not typically used in commercial pet food - we call them ‘novel’ proteins. Goat. Venison. Horse. They’re all worth considering.
