Native Pet Dog Supplements Review 2023 – Do They Really Work?

With so many different supplements in the market, how does a dog-owner choose the best ones? Well, not to worry. We did the work for you.

Native Pet Dog Supplements Review 2023 – Do They Really Work?

We love our dogs like our children and would do anything necessary to help them live a long, healthy life.  It isn’t surprising then to find out that there are now many healthy, fresh dog foodchoices that it can be confusing to figure out where to start.

The same can be said for dog supplements. Just as we like to add vitamins to our diet, pet parents are now looking for supplements to add to their dog’s diet for a variety of reasons.  Whether it is a probiotic, a digestive, or even just a dental chew, there are many natural healthy ways to improve our dog’s immune system.

In fact, the market for pet supplements has become as competitive as dog food because dog owners are now even more aware of the benefits of supplements to enhance their dog’s well-being.

That being said, with so many different supplements in the market, how does a dog-owner choose the best ones?  Well, not to worry.  We did the work for you.

One of the more popular, high-quality brands, Native Pet, offers limited-ingredient, clean supplements that are formulated by top veterinary experts.  Native Pet not only offers supplements for your pup, but also meal enhancers, as well as allergy and joint issue products for your dog’s overall wellness.

If you are looking to add supplements to your dog’s diet, we highly recommend Native Pet.

What You Need to Know About Native Pet

Native Pet was founded in 2017 when the owners couldn’t find natural, healthy pet supplementsthat they liked for their pups.  The owners decided to take matters in their own hands to create natural, veterinarian-approved pet supplements for dogs.  And that’s how Native Pet started.

Native pet works with nutritionists, veterinarians as well as food specialists to create healthy pet supplements with the minimum ingredients necessary.  They never use additives and not more than five inactive ingredients in their products.

Native Pet also works with manufacturing specialists to help formulate their products and keep them fresh.  Their USA-made products have a shelf-life of up to two years.

For example, all of their soft chew products are slow-cooked and also air-drive to help keep them fresh and preserve the nutrients.  Even their packaging is recyclable, and the company makes donations to animal shelters.

All of Native Pet’s formulas include human-grade whole food ingredients.  They only use chicken in their recipes and not chicken flavor.  The same can be said of their beef products.

Native pet also offers great customer service and support through email and/or text.   You can get free shipping when you spend $35 or more.

Native Pet’s Supplements & Meal Enhancers in Detail

While Native Pet offers a variety of supplements and meal enhancers, we are covering in detail their top three products for dog owners.

Native Pet’s Organic Probiotics

Native Pet offers organic probiotics to add to your dog’s diet.  Probiotics can often help to relievea dog’s upset stomach and then restore gut health when your pup has been on antibiotics.  Probiotics also help to improve the overall immune system and gut health for your pup.

We like that Native Pet’s probiotics are formulated by board-certified veterinary nutritionists who specialize in dog’s gut health.  Their probiotics also help sensitive stomachs, long term gut health and even travel stress.

Native Pet’s probiotics are formulated in a powder to help protect the strength of the ingredients and not over-process it.  Their probiotics are easier for dogs to eat and digest because they are formulated in a powder texture. Native Pet’s probiotics even include prebiotics to help your dog’s gut to allow healthy bacteria which strengthens their immune systems.

Their probiotics have four different types of bacterial strains (the good, healthy bacteria), pumpkin, artichoke, and even bone broth.

The price is $29.99 for an 8.2 oz bottle

Native Pet’s Yak Chews

Native Pet also offers a very healthy dental yak chew for your pups.

Your pups will love these yak chews and can chew on them for a long time without creating a mess around the house!  Even better, their yak chews are really healthy and made from certified organic yak and cow’s milk which is high in protein and easily digestible for your pup.  Their chews are easier on a dog’s teeth because of their softer texture.

The yak chews come in four different sizes – small, medium, large, and extra-large to match the size of your dog.

Not only do they have protein – but there is no odor to them, and they will keep your dog pre-occupied for many hours!

The price is $14.99 for 5 small chews

Native Pet’s Pumpkin Powder

Native Pet offers a pure, effective pumpkin powder which is great for your dog’s digestive system.  It helps relieve diarrhea, constipation and even an upset stomach.

We like that it comes in a powder and only has three ingredients: organic pumpkin, pumpkin seed, and organic apple.

All you need to do is sprinkle it over your dog’s food or you can mix it with water to make a puree.  You can even freeze it as a treat or bake it into a doggy bone.  Pups seem to love the flavor and gobble it up!

The shelf life, even with all these healthy ingredients, is up to two years.

The price is $19.99 for 8 ounces.

While these are only three of their products, Native Pet also offers Omega Oil, Bladder Chicken Chews, Allergy Chicken Chews, Relief Chicken Chews, Calm Chicken Chews, Beef Bone Broth Topper & Chicken Bone Broth Topper.

“Adding Native Pet’s pumpkin powder to my dog’s meals helped decrease the frequency of upset tummy and her poop is perfect. This is my second can and will now keep this as a staple for her meals.” Carla G

Native Pet:  Our Final Verdict

If you are looking for a supplement to add to your dog’s diet, we think Native Pet is a really good choice.  While their products tend to be a bit pricier, we like that their ingredients are natural, and have really few additional ingredients.  And that they are formulated by board-certified veterinarians.

We also like how they have a variety of supplements and meal enhancers that pretty much cover all ailments.  In a clean and healthy way.

Customers love it and, more importantly, so do my dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What Are Native Pet’s Bladder Chews For?

You need to spend only $35 for automatic shipping and you get an additional 10% off for autorenewal.

What Age Can We Give Our Dog Your Calm Chews?

If your dog is older than six months, you can start with calming chews.  The idea behind the calm chews is to help with anxiety when you travel with your dog, there are fireworks, or if they’re scared of big storms.

Vi at La Jolla Village – Senior Living in the Heart of Everything

At Vi at La Jolla Village, residents don't have to choose between security and adventure, connection and independence. They get all of it.

Today’s seniors are more connected than ever, with a renewed focus on retirement as a time of discovery and enriching experiences. The ultimate reward for a retirement well-earned is the wisdom to appreciate it all, and what better place to enjoy that unique perspective than Vi at La Jolla Village, in the heart of San Diego.

All-access pass to good living.

As a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Vi provides access to a connected and fulfilling community while making it easy to plan for future care, should the need ever arise. With a care plan in place, residents enjoy greater financial predictability and long-term value, freeing them to focus on making the most out of retirement.

Resort-style amenities at the epicenter of a cultural hub like San Diego offer a retirement experience unlike any other. Paired with exceptional dining, spacious accommodations and dedicated staff, the best of maintenance-free living is all around. And with the introduction of Vista 360 Well-Being, Vi’s panoramic approach to wellness, there are more ways than ever for residents to access it all.

The harmony of mind, body and community.

The key to longevity is striking the right balance in maintaining an active lifestyle with an active mind in a fulfilling community. With newly renovated community spaces and restaurants, Vista brings a variety of opportunities for residents to elevate their well-being through Vi-exclusive “Signature Experiences.”

Vista Enrich takes an evidence-based approach to brain vitality, keeping residents at the forefront of cognitive health through exergaming (exercising + gaming), nutritional plans and informative workshops. It is also home to The Brain Vitality Studio, an innovative facility dedicated to cognitive fitness that has garnered national recognition.

Vista Discover invites residents into stimulating educational experiences, from chef-led cooking demos and guided wine tastings to lectures at local universities and intimate lectures following cultural outings.

While Vista Enrich focuses on brain health and Vista Discover engages residents intellectually, Vista Explore cultivates a sense of adventure through curated travel and local excursions. But broadening one’s horizons doesn’t always require a plane ticket. One recent event brought a taste of the world right to the community: an onsite “jazz cruise” featuring live music and global cuisine served at a series of themed “ports” all within the community’s own ballroom.

“Location, location, location”

One of the biggest perks of life at Vi at La Jolla Village is its proximity to just about everything. With easy access to transportation and local attractions just steps away, residents can explore and engage with their community at their own pace.

“There are trolley and bus stops within a 5-minute walk that will get you to the beach, UCSD Campus, medical appointments, downtown La Jolla or San Diego, et cetera. We rarely use our car,” said resident Tom Yager.

With the best of San Diego just steps away, residents don’t just live in the city, they live within reach of everything that makes it special.

The best of all worlds.

At Vi at La Jolla Village, retirement isn’t a chapter to slow down; it’s an invitation to discover more. Tailored community experiences created by Vista, paired with the vibrant pulse of San Diego just outside the door, mean that residents don’t have to choose between security and adventure, connection and independence.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia, affecting more than 10 million people in the U.S. The condition, characterized by an irregular and often rapid heartbeat, raises the risk of stroke, heart failure and death. Advances in electrophysiology, a subspecialty of cardiology focused on the heart’s electrical system, are transforming how AFib and other dysrhythmias are diagnosed and treated. Scripps electrophysiologists use state-of-the-art therapies—some of which they helped develop. They were instrumental in the pre-FDA approval research for an effective new treatment, pulsed field ablation, and are on the forefront of other innovative treatments. Click here to learn more.

An innovative spinal procedure helps a marathon runner go the distance

Back on Track
Courtesy of Scripps Health

A relatively new therapy called basivertebral nerve ablation (BVN) that uses radiofrequency to effectively burn the nerve pain away gave marathon runner and single dad Kenny Lopez his life back. Kenny suffered a debilitating injury in April 2024, while lifting his toddler out of his car seat. He described the pain as nothing he’d experienced before. While looking for an effective treatment option, Kenny met Scripps Clinic physiatrist and interventional pain specialist Kevin “Buzz” Barrette, MD, who recommended BVN. After some hesitation and pushing through the pain during two marathons, Kenny was ready to give it a try. He underwent the BVN procedure in October and relief was nearly instantaneous. Click here to read more about the procedure and how it helped Kenny hit the ground running.

Growing up, Laika Nur, MD, Scripps Clinic sports medicine specialist, loved watching beach volleyball when the Association of Volleyball Professionals tour came to her hometown of Chicago. A talented volleyball player herself, she remembers sitting in the stands all day, and once, even got a couple autographs. Years later, Dr. Nur was attending a professional event focused on women’s sports, and the discussion turned to a new professional women’s volleyball league. The general manager and coaching staff  for San Diego’s team, the Mojo, happened to be in attendance, and Dr. Nur took the opportunity to ask them if they needed a team doctor. Flash forward to the Mojo’s inaugural 2024 season, when Dr. Nur officially became the team physician. Click here to read more about Dr. Nur and how she incorporates lessons she learned on the court into her practice.
