Hi there! It's great that you're doing research before giving your pet new supplements. Pawfy supplements are quite popular, and many pet owners have reported positive experiences. That said, pets, much like humans, can react differently to supplements, so it's wise to keep an eye on them.
When introducing any new supplement, monitor your pet for any unusual behavior or symptoms, such as:
- Changes in appetite
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Lethargy or restlessness
- Hives or other signs of an allergic reaction
If your pet shows mild symptoms like slightly soft stools or a little more tired than usual, you can monitor them at home. Sometimes, minor adjustments take a few days as your pet's system adjusts.
However, emergencies include severe symptoms like:
- Recurrent or bloody vomiting and diarrhea
- Swelling of the face or difficulty breathing
- Unresponsiveness or seizures
- Inability to stand or persistent vocalizing from pain
In the case of any severe reaction, consider these actions:
- Withhold further doses of the supplement
- Ensure your pet has plenty of water to drink
- And definitely seek veterinary assistance right away
As far as dosage goes, always stick to the instructions on the package, as giving too much of even a good thing can potentially upset your pet’s stomach.
If you’re unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
