Can supplements be given to animals or pets?

USANA products are specifically formulated for humans. Although some might be appropriate for pets or animals, USANA scientists cannot make firm recommendations because our expertise is centered in human nutrition, not animal nutrition.

Optimal nutrient amounts vary greatly from species to species. For example, the only animals that require dietary vitamin C are humans, some primates, guinea pigs, bats, a few fish and some birds. Other animals are able to produce vitamin C endogenously, limiting the amount they need to obtain from dietary sources.

Simply put, there is no one-size-fits-all nutritional supplement for pets. If you would like to give USANA products to an animal, consult with a veterinarian to determine which products might be appropriate for a particular species.
