Getting the Most Out of Your Nourish Pet Co Products
When it comes to pet health, supplements aren’t a quick fix. They work best as part of a bigger picture. If you’ve ever wondered how to use dog supplements properly or why results can vary, the answer usually comes down to consistency, diet, and lifestyle.
At Nourish Pet Co, every product is designed to support the body in a bigger picture kind of way. That means supporting the gut, reducing inflammation, and giving your dog the building blocks they need to thrive long-term, not just mask symptoms.
Below is how to get the absolute most out of your dog supplements, plus how to use each Nourish Pet Co product effectively.
Consistency Is Everything
One of the biggest reasons pet parents don’t see results from dog supplements is inconsistent use. Natural supplements work by gradually rebalancing systems in the body, especially the gut, immune system, skin, joints, and oral microbiome.
Using supplements daily, at the recommended serving size, allows beneficial bacteria, nutrients, and compounds to build up over time. Skipping days or stopping too early can interrupt this process and slow progress.
As a general rule, most dogs need at least 4–8 weeks of consistent use to see meaningful, lasting changes.
Dental Pro+
Supporting Oral Health From the Inside Out
Dental Pro+ is designed to support oral health by working through the gut–mouth connection. Instead of mechanically scraping teeth like chews or sticks, this dental powder helps reduce plaque and bad breath by supporting a healthier oral microbiome.
How to use:
-
Sprinkle daily over food
-
Use consistently, even if teeth already have some buildup
-
If possible, incorporate chew toys or raw bones to help mechanically remove the softened build up.
-
Brushing is the gold standard of pet health, if you can brush 1-2 times per week that will significantly help.
-
Pair with a fresh or minimally processed diet for best results
Dental health is closely linked to overall health, including heart, kidney, and immune function. Consistency here is key.
Prebiotic + Probiotic
The Foundation of All Dog Supplements
If you’re using dog supplements for skin, digestion, immunity, or overall health, gut support should always come first.
Our Prebiotic + Probiotic helps:
-
Feed beneficial gut bacteria
-
Support digestion and nutrient absorption
-
Strengthen immune function
-
Reduce inflammation that can show up as itchy skin, poor coat, or sensitive stomachs
How to use:
-
Add daily to meals
-
Introduce slowly for sensitive dogs. Half the dose for 1 week.
-
Best paired with a high-quality diet
A healthy gut allows every other supplement to work more effectively.
Phytoplankton
Highly Bioavailable Omegas for Skin, Coat and Cells
Phytoplankton is one of the most bioavailable omega sources available. Its ultra-small structure allows nutrients to be absorbed quickly at a cellular level, without heavy digestion.
Benefits include:
-
Healthier skin and coat
-
Reduced inflammation
-
Support for joints, brain, and immune health
How to use:
-
Add daily to food
-
Ideal for dogs with fish sensitivities
-
Pair with gut support for best absorption (Prebiotic + Probiotic or Gut + Immunity)
Hip + Joint
Protecting Mobility Before Problems Start
Joint supplements aren’t just for senior dogs. Supporting joints early helps reduce inflammation, protect cartilage, and maintain mobility long-term.
How to use:
-
Use daily, especially for active breeds, large breeds or ageing dogs
-
Pair with low-impact exercise and weight management
-
Consistency & prevention matters more than “as needed” use
Stress + Anxiety
Calming the Nervous System Naturally
Chronic stress can have a huge impact on digestion, skin health, immunity, and behaviour. Our Anxiety & Stress supplement supports a calmer nervous system without sedating your dog.
How to use:
-
Use daily for ongoing anxiety
-
Made for long term use if needed
-
Works best alongside routine, enrichment, and mental stimulation
Topicals: Hot Spot Gel & Derma Cream
Supporting the Skin Barrier
Topical products work best when paired with internal support. Hot Spot Gel helps soothe irritated, inflamed skin, while Derma Cream supports healing and hydration.
How to use:
-
Apply to clean, dry skin
-
Use alongside gut and omega support
-
Avoid harsh shampoos that strip the skin barrier
- Use a cone collar after application (10-15 minutes) if pet consistently licks & itches
Diet Must Align With Holistic Health Goals
Even the best dog supplements can only do so much if your dog’s diet is highly processed. Ultra-processed kibble and sugary treats can:
-
Feed inflammation
-
Disrupt the gut microbiome
-
Counteract the benefits of supplements
For best results:
-
Choose fresh or gently cooked diets where possible
-
Avoid ultra-processed treats
-
Opt for whole-food toppers and single-ingredient treats
Food is information for the body. Make it count.
Reduce Inflammation Through Lifestyle
Inflammation doesn’t just come from food. Stress, lack of movement, boredom, and overstimulation all contribute.
To support your dog holistically:
-
Provide daily mental stimulation and enrichment
-
Ensure appropriate physical exercise
-
Keep routines consistent
-
Reduce environmental stress where possible
A calm, stimulated dog responds far better to supplements than a stressed, under-stimulated one.
The Big Picture
Knowing how to use dog supplements properly means understanding they are part of a wider ecosystem. Supplements work best when paired with:
-
Consistency
-
A supportive diet
-
Low inflammation
-
Adequate mental and physical stimulation
At Nourish Pet Co, we believe healthy pets should be the norm, not the exception. When you support the body at a root-cause level, real, lasting change becomes possible.
