The Best Senior Dog Supplements for Your Pet

Our beloved Mango is turning 13 this year – she’s officially a teenager! Of course, in dog years she’s a senior pet and has been for a while. My goal is to keep her happy, healthy and living her best life at home. Mango is a Pomeranian with a luxating patella. She has struggled with it her entire life. I have done my best to keep her active and pain-free. I’ve talked about joint health before and the importance of keeping her at a consistent weight, supplements and light exercise. It’s all beneficial to her health and longevity.

These days, Mango is still playing with her toys, enjoying her stroller walks and leisurely outings with the family. I wanted to share Mango’s current supplements that she’s using and loves. And trust me, we’ve tried a lot of things. All of the products are linked to shop and we earn commissions off your purchases. Mango will spend that money on organic, single ingredient dog treats.

The Supplements

Wuffes. Advanced Hip & Joint Support

This glucosamine based supplement is packed with powerful ingredients that promote joint health. I give Mango one piece a day every morning (feeding amount based on your dog’s weight). It says to give Wuffes for 90 days before you notice the results. I felt like I could see a small difference in a month, but I agree it took about the full three months to notice the results. My mom hadn’t seen Mango in a year and noticed an improvement in her movement on Wuffes compared to her the previous year when she wasn’t taking them.

T-Relief Pet Pain Relief Arnica

This pill offers pain and soreness relief naturally with arnica and herbs. I don’t give this pill daily, but I do sneak it in with a little bit of peanut butter a few times a week. Homeopathic remedies help treat symptoms with a microdose of an active ingredient to stimulate the body’s own defenses. If Mango went to the beach or had a really active day before, I like to give her this to ease any soreness she might have from overdoing it.

PetLab Co. ProBright Advanced Dental Powder

Dental care is something I wish I started earlier on with Mango. I should have started brushing her teeth when she was a puppy. I do brush her teeth a few times a week, but Mango recently started using this dental powder. Just one scoop a day (based on your dog’s weight) and I’ve noticed she has better breath and whiter teeth. Mango doesn’t love the taste so I have to feed it with bone broth, pup cups or other home cooked meals to encourage her to eat it, which is frustrating. But I’d say the results are worth it.
