240. Most Dog Supplements Are Useless… Here’s What Actually Helps

Author: Jessica L. Arrington (Fisher) March 10, 2026 Duration: 1:00:11

Walk into any pet store and you’ll see shelves packed with supplements promising better joints, better digestion, better skin, and longer lives for your dog. But how many of them actually do anything?

In this episode, I sit down with Chef Scot Hill of Woof Creek to talk about the supplement industry, what most pet parents get wrong, and how to think about supplements in the context of a real, whole-food diet.

We dig into when supplements are actually helpful, which categories tend to matter most, how ingredient quality changes everything, and why many products on the market simply don’t move the needle. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re wasting money on powders and capsules—or how to choose supplements that truly support your dog’s health—this conversation will help you cut through the noise.
