Essential supplements for dogs and cats
At Kindred, we understand that pets are family. Keeping them healthy, comfortable, and full of life is a responsibility we cherish—and we know you do too. While a high-quality diet is the foundation of good health, nutritional supplements can offer targeted support for specific needs, particularly as pets grow older or face changing environments and lifestyles.
We’ve developed a thoughtfully selected range of supplements to help support the unique health needs of dogs and cats. Here’s a closer look at four of our most essential products that can help your pet thrive.
Fish oil and omega fatty acids
Fish oil is a natural powerhouse when it comes to supporting pet health, offering wide-ranging benefits for both cats and dogs. Sourced from cold-water fish such as salmon, sardines, or anchovies, high-quality fish oil is rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA. These healthy fats play a critical role in reducing inflammation, supporting cell health, and maintaining a well-functioning immune system.
The most visible impact of fish oil is often seen in the skin and coat. Pets with dry, itchy, or flaky skin, or those prone to seasonal allergies, often respond quickly to omega-3 supplementation. It helps soothe inflammation, reduce redness, and promote a glossier, healthier coat. Many pet owners report reduced shedding and fewer skin irritations with regular use.
Beyond skin health, fish oil is an excellent supplement for heart function, brain health, and joint mobility. In older pets or breeds predisposed to arthritis, its anti-inflammatory properties can help ease stiffness and improve comfort. For puppies and kittens, DHA is vital for brain and eye development, making fish oil a valuable supplement at all life stages.
Our formula also includes linseed (flaxseed), which provides additional omega-3s from plant sources, supporting coat health and digestion in a gentle, natural way.
Prebiotics and Probiotics for digestive and immune health
Digestive health is the cornerstone of overall wellbeing. When your pet’s gut is functioning properly, they’re more likely to absorb nutrients efficiently, maintain a healthy weight, and resist illness. Our digestive support supplement combines the power of both probiotics and prebiotics to promote a balanced, resilient gut microbiome.
Probiotics are beneficial live bacteria that help restore and maintain healthy gut flora. They’re especially useful for pets with sensitive stomachs, irregular stools, or those recovering from antibiotic treatments. Probiotics can help regulate digestion, ease bloating and gas, and support stronger immune function.
Prebiotics, meanwhile, are dietary fibers that serve as fuel for these good bacteria. By nourishing the probiotics in the gut, prebiotics enhance their effectiveness and contribute to long-term digestive stability.
Our formula also includes bentonite, pectin, organic pea fibre, green banana powder, and pumpkin - each chosen for their digestive and soothing properties. Together, these ingredients support regular bowel movements, reduce discomfort, and help your pet feel their best every day.
Calming blend for dogs
Anxiety is common in dogs, whether triggered by loud noises, travel, separation, or changes in their environment. Chronic stress not only affects your dog’s behaviour but can also impact their physical health, contributing to digestive issues and weakened immunity.
Our Calming Blend is a non-sedative, natural supplement designed to ease anxiety and promote emotional balance. It includes magnesium, along with calming amino acids like L-theanine and L-tryptophan, which help soothe the nervous system and encourage relaxation—without affecting alertness or personality.
Whether your dog experiences situational stress or ongoing anxiety, this gentle formula offers reliable support. It’s particularly helpful during thunderstorms, vet visits, travel, or for dogs who struggle with separation from their humans. It can also be used as part of a training routine to encourage calmer behaviour over time.
Joint support for dogs
As dogs age—or if they belong to larger or highly active breeds—they may begin to experience stiffness, reduced mobility, or joint discomfort. Our Joint Support supplement is designed to address these concerns proactively, helping your dog maintain an active, comfortable lifestyle for as long as possible.
This formula includes glucosamine and green-lipped mussel, both known to support cartilage repair and slow joint degeneration. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) provides powerful anti-inflammatory action, helping to reduce swelling and alleviate pain, while added antioxidants combat oxidative stress around the joints.
Whether your dog is showing early signs of stiffness or you’re simply looking to stay ahead of age-related decline, a high-quality joint support supplement can be one of the most valuable additions to their health regimen. It encourages mobility, comfort, and a better quality of life - because every dog deserves to move with ease.
Conclusion: a thoughtful approach to pet wellness
Adding supplements to your pet’s routine isn’t about quick fixes - it’s about supporting their health at every stage of life. Whether you’re helping your dog stay calm in stressful moments, supporting your cat’s digestion, or protecting your senior pet’s joints, each supplement in our range is designed with care, backed by research, and made with high-quality, pet-safe ingredients.
