How to Start a Supplement Routine for Your Dog
You’ve heard about dog supplements — maybe from your vet, your pet parent group, or while doom-scrolling on Instagram.
They claim to help with everything from itchy skin to loose poop to limping in older dogs.
But the real question is — does your dog need one?
And if yes, how do you actually begin?
Here’s your step-by-step, made-for-India guide to starting a supplement routine for your dog — without the confusion.
🐾 Step 1: Understand What Your Dog Actually Needs
Not all supplements are the same. You want to solve a root problem, not throw random powders into food.
🐾 Watch for These Signs in Your Dog:
-
If your dog is showing joint stiffness, limping, or is slowing down with age, they may need joint support — something like Paw+ Happy Hips can help.
-
If your dog has a dull coat, is constantly itching, or experiencing hair fall, they likely need skin & coat support — a supplement like Paw+ Glow Up is designed for this.
-
If your dog has frequent gas, loose poop, or keeps eating grass, that’s a sign of gut issues — you’ll want to try a gut health supplement like Paw+ Belly Boost.

🐶 Step 2: Pick One Supplement & Stick With It
Too many new things at once = confused stomach and confused pet parent.
Start with just one supplement so you can clearly track improvements.
For example:
🐕 Try Belly Boost first if your dog has loose stool or keeps scooting.
🐕🦺 Try Happy Hips if your dog struggles to get up, especially after naps.
Stick with it for 3–4 weeks. Most changes (like firmer poop or better energy) show gradually, not overnight.
🕒 Step 3: Make It a Part of Their Daily Routine
Dogs love structure. Give the supplement:
-
At the same time daily (e.g. after breakfast or before bedtime)
-
In the same way (mixed in food, curd, or broth)
💡 Paw+ powders mix easily and taste like treats — no forcing or bribing needed.
We’ve tested it with the pickiest of puppers (approved by our Chief Taste Officer, April 🐾).
📅 Step 4: Track the Small Wins (They Add Up!)
Here’s what to look for in the first 2–3 weeks:
| Supplement | What to track |
|---|---|
| Happy Hips | Less stiffness, smoother walking, better posture |
| Glow Up | Shinier fur, fewer itches, reduced redness |
| Belly Boost | Better poop, less gas, no more bum scooting |
We include a 30-day visual tracker with every Paw+ order so you can keep it fun and real.
💡 Step 5: What If You Don’t See Results Immediately?
Supplements aren’t magic pills — they work by supporting long-term health.
But here’s what you should do if you don’t see a difference:
-
Double-check your daily consistency
-
Make sure the dosage matches your dog’s weight
-

Still unsure? Your vet or a second Paw+ variant (e.g., pairing gut + joint) might help. Always wait 3–4 weeks before switching or stacking.
