Dog Remedies


Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best supplements for dog joint health?

For dogs with stiff or ageing joints, Lintbells YuMove is the UK’s most trusted joint supplement, containing glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3s. Synoquin is another vet-recommended option, particularly for younger dogs at risk of joint issues. For best results, give joint supplements consistently over 4–6 weeks — improvements are typically gradual rather than immediate.

What calming products are best for anxious dogs?

Pet Remedy and Adaptil are both highly effective calming solutions for dogs with anxiety. Pet Remedy uses a natural valerian-based formula and works across species, while Adaptil uses synthetic dog-appeasing pheromones to reduce stress from fireworks, travel, and separation. Both are available as plug-in diffusers and portable sprays in our dog health treatments range.

What is the best probiotic for dogs with diarrhoea?

Protexin Pro-Kolin is the most widely used probiotic paste for dogs with acute diarrhoea, trusted by vets and owners across the UK. Pro-Kolin+ contains kaolin, pectin, and Enterococcus faecium to soothe the gut and firm stools quickly. For ongoing digestive health support, Protexin Pro-Fibre pellets offer longer-term probiotic and prebiotic care.

How do I clean my dog’s ears safely at home?

Use a purpose-made ear cleanser such as Virbac Epiotic or JVP Ear Cleanser — never water or cotton buds, which can push wax deeper into the canal. Apply the solution, gently massage the base of the ear, then allow your dog to shake before wiping away loosened debris with a cotton ball. Consult your vet if you notice redness, odour, or persistent scratching.

Are natural dog remedies safe to use alongside vet medication?

Many natural dog health treatments — such as omega oils, herbal digestive supplements, and calming sprays — are generally safe to use alongside prescribed medication, but always check with your vet first if your dog is on long-term treatment. Brands like Karnlea, The Golden Paste Company, and NAF provide natural dog remedies with clear ingredients lists to support informed decisions.
