In general, food supplements can also be administered preventively, but with caution:

• Breed-related susceptibility (e.g. joint problems in Labradors ▶︎ PetYu joints+)

• Age, in older dogs you can support gastrointestinal and joint functions at an early stage, not only when the symptoms ▶appear ︎ PetYu Joints+ & PetYu Digestion+

• Dogs/cats with high activity, sporty and agile animals often have a higher nutrient requirement that cannot be covered by normal food

• Chronic stress, targeted supplements to the normal food are also useful here 

Always pay attention to:

• Quality of the product: At PetYu you can feel in good hands, as we only produce according to the highest standards in Germany and veterinarians are behind the development
of our products.

• Don't give everything on suspicion: Some products, such as detox cures, should only be administered after consultation with the veterinarian.

• Follow the appropriate dosage recommendations for optimal effect.

• In general, a distinction can be made between preventive administration and
symptomatic administration.

• With the preventive administration, in the best case you will not notice any difference in your loved one, as any diseases can be avoided or occur much later/more moderately than usual.

• If you already see onset symptoms in your pet, you will see a difference in certain cases after 28 days (PetYu Joints+). As a rule, an optimal effect occurs after about 3 months of continuous feed addition.

• Just like us humans, we are dependent on good nutrition. This must be nutrient-rich and balanced. If you start giving your dog or cat the right food supplements at an early stage, it will have an effect on your pet's well-being that should not be underestimated. Over the last 40 years, the life expectancy of dogs has increased between 1.5 and 3 years on average. This is mainly because of medical progress. PetYu was born from this idea and this is how our products are designed and developed.

• Not all ingredients are the same. And not all processing is the same. What do we value at PetYu? By offering a powder, we avoid unnecessary fillers and other by-products. Most of our active ingredients are supported by studies and patents in order to ensure a flawless mode of action. The welfare of the animal first!

• Our patented active ingredient complex in GELENKE+ ensures that sustainable cartilage formation takes place. No symptoms are treated here, we tackle the problem at the root!

Just as with humans, nutrition plays a key role in the health and well-being of animals. Early administration of nutritional supplements for dogs and cats can help ensure long-term quality of life.

• Prevention instead of treatment: Supplements such as joint powder for dogs support cartilage and joints even before the first symptoms appear.
• Healthy digestion from the start: Probiotics for dogs and cats stabilize the intestinal flora and prevent digestive problems.
• Longer quality of life: Studies show that a balanced diet and targeted supplements can increase the life expectancy and vitality of dogs and cats.
• It's worth starting earlier: the sooner important nutrients are consumed regularly, the more lasting their effect on mobility, digestion and the immune system.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support the balance of intestinal flora. In dogs and cats, they can:

1. Reduce bloating and diarrhea
2. improve digestion
3. strengthen the immune system
4. after antibiotics
5. Treatment to build up intestinal flora faster

That's why many pet owners rely on probiotics as natural support for their dog or cat's digestive problems.

When it comes to nutritional supplements for dogs and cats, it's not just the ingredients that matter, but also their quality and processing. This is precisely where PetYu comes in:

• High-quality recipes: Our products are powders – so we avoid unnecessary fillers and artificial additives.
• Scientifically proven: The active ingredients used are largely backed by studies and patents, thus ensuring reliable effectiveness.
• Long-lasting effect: While many providers only treat symptoms, PetYu goes deeper. Our patented active ingredient complex actively supports cartilage development and ensures long-term mobility.
• Made in Germany: Development and production are carried out according to the highest quality standards – together with
• Focus on animal welfare: Our goal is to provide dogs and cats with products that truly make a difference – from probiotics to joint and digestive support.
  
  
  
  

The first signs of joint problems in dogs or cats are often subtle:

• Stiffness after getting up
• less desire for walks or games
• Problems climbing stairs or jumping
• Lameness or protective posture

In such cases, a high-quality joint powder for dogs or cats can help support mobility. In cases of advanced symptoms, a veterinarian should definitely be consulted.

Not every animal automatically needs supplements. They are especially useful when there are special needs—for example, joint problems, digestive disorders, allergies, or aging. Supplements can help compensate for deficiencies and improve long-term well-being.

No, they are not meal replacements. A healthy, balanced diet remains the foundation. Supplements specifically support functions such as joints, digestion, or the immune system.

Even at a young age, supplements can provide preventative support—for example, for very active dogs or those with breed-specific susceptibility. From about the age of 7 at the latest, it's worthwhile to provide additional support for joints, digestion, and the immune system.

High-quality supplements are generally very well tolerated. It is important to adhere to the recommended dosage. If there are any existing conditions or concerns, a veterinarian should be consulted.

Depending on the product and the animal, initial effects, such as increased mobility or improved digestion, may be visible after 3–4 weeks. The full benefit is usually apparent after 2–3 months of regular use.
