The problem with pet supplements (and some human...) is that they are "nutreceuticals" and there is no regulations, testing, etc. to market them. So any company can slap some floor sweepings into a capsule, call it something and market it.

Not saying you have to buy FROM a vet, but ask what their opinion/experience is. Often you can get the same products through other suppliers.
