Before we talk about if you should or should not give your Bulldog supplements, let’s discuss pet supplements as a whole. Supplements are helpful for situations of immune compromise, age, illness, or other biological issues (e.g. colic, gastrointestinal, yeasty skin, etc.,). Should I give my Bulldog supplements? Yes, if your dog falls into one or more of these categories.
Any Other Situations?
For many of us, we feed our dogs a raw or home-cooked diet. Balancing vitamins, minerals, and nutrients can be tricky – but that certainly doesn’t mean you shouldn’t feed this way. In fact, we highly recommend it for adult Bulldogs. Supplementing when feeding your Bulldog a raw or homemade diet is a good, healthy option.
Also, supplementation is ideal for pets prone to joint issues. Having your Bulldog take the right joint supplement can make all the difference in the world. As can fish oil – a great supplement for anti-inflammatory conditions, arthritis, and aches and pains. Probiotics are excellent not only for a healthy gut – but they also contribute to the overall health of your Bulldog’s skin.
Joint health supplements remain the most commonly purchased condition-specific pet supplement according to Packaged Facts’ January survey of pet owners, followed by those supporting heart health and skin and coat health, then digestive health/hairball prevention, and omega fatty acid supplements.”

High Quality Supplements
Some of the most common supplements pet owners provide include multivitamins, chondroprotectives such as glucosamine, and fatty acids. So you want to make sure that what you buy and give to your Bulldog are high-quality.
Make sure that the supplements you select are tested for potency and contaminants, have a high absorption rate, are made in the United States, and are made from a company you can trust. Also, a pet supplement company should stand behind their product with a 100% refund.
