Joints, skin & coat, gut health.
Joint supplements
Joint supplements are most commonly used for older dogs, large breeds prone to hip dysplasia and dogs recovering from orthopaedic surgery. Glucosamine, chondroitin, omega-3s and newer options like PCSO-524 (Antinol) and rosehip extract (Rose-Hip Vital) all have varying levels of evidence. Speak to your vet about the right compound and dose for your dog before starting.
Skin & coat supplements
Omega-3 fatty acids — especially EPA and DHA from fish or marine sources — have the strongest evidence for improving skin condition and coat quality. If your dog's diet is already rich in these, additional supplementation may not be necessary. Ensure any fish oil is stored correctly: omega oils oxidise quickly once opened and should be refrigerated after opening.
Gut health & probiotics
Probiotics may support dogs with recurring digestive issues, those recovering from antibiotics, or dogs with sensitive stomachs. The evidence in healthy dogs is less clear-cut. Prebiotics (dietary fibre that feeds beneficial gut bacteria) are often combined with probiotics in formulas like PAW DigestiCare. Always introduce gut supplements gradually and under vet guidance.
Dog supplement FAQs
Natural Animal Solutions (NAS) ranks #1 in our index (92/100) for its 100% natural, additive-free formulas and best-in-class transparency. Rose-Hip Vital Canine leads for joints, while PAW by Blackmores is the most widely available vet-developed option. Always consult your vet before starting any supplement — the right choice depends on your dog's health, age and specific needs.
Most healthy adult dogs fed a complete and balanced commercial diet do not need additional supplements. Supplements may be beneficial for dogs with specific health conditions — joint issues, skin problems, digestive sensitivity — but should be chosen with your vet's input. Adding unnecessary supplements can create nutrient imbalances. This page is an independent comparison resource, not veterinary advice.
Rose-Hip Vital Canine and Antinol Rapid are among the most evidence-backed joint supplements available in Australia. NAS and PAW by Blackmores also offer dedicated joint formulas. Glucosamine and chondroitin are widely used, but the evidence base is mixed — talk to your vet about the right option for your dog's age, breed and condition.
Omega-3 fatty acids — especially EPA and DHA from fish oil — have the strongest evidence base for coat quality and skin condition. Natural Animal Solutions' omega oil blends and PAW by Blackmores' skin/coat formulas are well-regarded in Australia. Ensure any fish oil supplement is formulated for dogs and stored properly — omega oils oxidise quickly once opened.
Probiotics may support digestive health in dogs with recurring gut issues, post-antibiotic recovery or sensitive stomachs. PAW DigestiCare is a widely stocked Australian option with vet backing. The evidence for probiotics in healthy dogs is less clear-cut than for joint or omega supplements — speak to your vet before introducing them, especially if your dog has an underlying condition.
