Most hoomans are fairly savvy. They know that it’s extremely difficult to obtain all the goodness required to live a healthy life from just eating their everyday meals. Natural dog supplements are widely available and perfect for topping up those much-needed extras that are hard to consume otherwise.
It’s exactly the same for your four-legged friends. If you’d like us to live a long and healthy life alongside you, then it’s important that you look at what you’re feeding us and where you can add in those essential nutrients and vitamins that we may be missing.
Sadly, most pet pawrents aren't aware that the “complete food” they are putting into our bowls generally isn’t as complete as they imply. That’s not a swipe at the pawrents! After all, those marketing experts are very good at their jobs and know how to sell a product regardless of its nutritional benefits - or lack of…
Thankfully, there are some wonderful companies out there that are creating some supplemental magic for us doggos. They’ve done the legwork, put in the research and are producing the goods.
The health and wellness industry is literally a minefield. It can be overwhelming and expensive, especially if you don’t know where to start.
For those of you that have followed my story, you’ll know that it’s because of my own personal health issues that Enzo’s Pet Pantry was born. I literally owe my life to my Super Hoomum. She made it her sole mission to help me get better, even after the doom and gloom news that I may not survive from the scary men in white coats at The Vets. BOO!
So, I’m here today to help my fellow fur friends by passing on all this wellness knowledge. At Enzo’s Pet Pantry, it’s our goal to provide you with some solutions to these issues and by working with some of the best in the business, we believe we can.
We have a huge range of products in our Health & Supplements section on the website so feel free to pop over there and check them all out.

Proflax Golden Oldies
Golden Oldies has been formulated with the more mature dog in mind.
As we get older, there are several areas that require extra support; joints, brain, heart, liver, kidneys and immune, digestive and circulatory systems. Generally dogs aged 7+ fit into this category, but as with humans, every dog is individual.
Golden Oldies is a premium 100% natural superfood supplement that contains 75% cold pressed flaxseed oil and a 25% formula of 7 carefully selected concentrated active herbal tinctures; bacopa, dandelion, ganoderma, boswellia, hawthorn, withania and liquorice.

Proflax Healthy Heart
You guessed it! This one’s all about keeping your ticker in tip top condition.
If you have a breed prone to heart problems, periodic check ups are advised. It is worthwhile eliminating heartworm disease if your dog is displaying any heart related symptoms.
Proflax Healthy Heart is a premium 100% natural superfood supplement that contains 7 fantastic high strength active herbal tinctures; hawthorn, motherwort, linden, ginkgo, astragalus, yarrow and liquorice. This blend specifically supports healthy blood flow and blood pressure along with the arteries and aids respiration. It is a fabulous anti-oxidant.
The inclusion of flaxseed oil in this formula is important as omega-3 and 6 essential fatty acids are a necessary component of a dog’s diet, but those in need of extra support of the heart will benefit hugely. Flaxseed oil contains a high level - 60% - of omega-3, which helps to support a healthy heart structure and function. It will also help to maintain good health of the reproductive system and support mobility and metabolism. The active herbal ingredients provide nutritional support.
Healthy Heart contains 4 adaptogenic herbs that help to support physical and emotional wellbeing.

I hope that you’ve found this blog useful and it’s cleared up some of those questions around giving your dogs supplements. I know that my life and health have been vastly improved by having them added to my diet.
