What to Look for in a Nutritional Supplement for Pets
Nutritional pet supplements are one of the most valuable tools the veterinary healthcare team can use to help their patients thrive, but with so many available today, how do you know which are safe and effective? To help pet owners make the right decisions about nutritional supplements for their pets, you must be armed with evidence-based information and facts about these products. The veterinary team must understand whether a particular supplement will have a benefit and recommend one with good quality control. In this VetFolio Voice podcast, Dr. Cassi talks to Dr. Laura B. Gaylord, a Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist, about the essential information the veterinary healthcare team needs to know to assess these products, including determining the ingredients that are contained in the supplement, how to evaluate it for quality, safety and efficacy, and whether an oversight organization has evaluated it for standards in labeling, quality and adverse event reporting.
