Looking after your pet’s day-to-day wellbeing often means small, steady support rather than dramatic interventions.

You will find oral supplements, calming aids, digestive care products, and skin and coat essentials, including shampoos and conditioners. It may be appropriate to speak to your vet, but you do not need a prescription to buy any of these supplements.
Anxiety is one of the most common quality‑of‑life concerns in dogs and cats, and it can show up as pacing, vocalising, hiding, destructive behaviour, or toileting in the wrong place. Non‑prescription calming supplements can support the nervous system during situational stress such as fireworks, travel, changes in the household, or time spent alone. Depending on the product, you may see clinically recognised ingredients such as L‑tryptophan, L‑theanine, alpha‑casozepine, magnesium, and selected B vitamins, which are often used to help promote relaxation without heavy sedation. Some owners prefer pheromone‑based support, delivered as diffusers, sprays or collars, to encourage a sense of security in the home. When you choose UK pet medication for anxiety, look for guidance on timing, weight‑based dosing, and whether it is intended for short‑term events or daily use. Because these are non‑prescription, you can trial them responsibly while observing your pet’s behaviour, appetite, and overall comfort.
Senior pets may also need extra support as age‑related changes affect the brain and senses. Vets may describe this as canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CCDS) or feline cognitive dysfunction, and it can be mistaken for “just getting old”. Non‑prescription supplements aimed at cognitive health typically focus on maintaining neuronal function and reducing oxidative stress, using ingredients such as omega‑3 fatty acids (DHA/EPA), antioxidants (for example vitamins E and C), phosphatidylserine, or medium‑chain triglycerides in some formulations. You might consider cognitive support if you notice several of the following changes developing gradually:
Because the same signs can overlap with pain, sensory loss, endocrine disease, or hypertension, it is sensible to involve your vet, but supportive UK pet medication can be part of a wider plan to keep routines predictable, enrichment gentle, and the home environment safe.
Joint stiffness is another area where non‑prescription support can make daily movement easier, particularly for breeds predisposed to osteoarthritis or pets with a history of injury. Early changes are often subtle: a reluctance to jump, slower rising, shortened walks, or stiffness after rest. Joint supplements do not act like prescription anti‑inflammatories, but many are formulated to support cartilage and normal joint lubrication, and they are widely used as long‑term nutraceutical care. Common clinically referenced ingredients include glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), green‑lipped mussel, collagen peptides, and omega‑3 oils for inflammatory modulation. Some products also include botanicals such as turmeric or Boswellia serrata, which may be useful for mild, ongoing discomfort in some pets. When selecting UK pet medication for joints, consider palatability, whether your pet needs a loading dose, and realistic timelines, as it can take several weeks to judge benefit. Gentle exercise, weight control, and supportive bedding can enhance results and help protect mobility as pets age.
Itching and skin irritation (pruritus) can be distressing for pets and owners alike, and it may be linked to allergies, parasites, dry skin, or recurrent dermatitis. Non‑prescription skin care includes both topical products and nutritional support. Shampoos and cleansing washes can help remove allergens, reduce odour, and soothe inflamed areas, and you may see ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal, aloe vera, ceramides, chlorhexidine, or antifungal agents depending on the intended use. For pets with sensitive skin, fragrance‑free, pH‑balanced formulas are often a good starting point, particularly if the coat needs frequent washing. Skin and coat supplements commonly provide essential fatty acids (omega‑3 and omega‑6), biotin, zinc, and vitamins that contribute to barrier function and coat shine, which may reduce flaking and support recovery from minor irritation. If you are exploring UK pet medication for itching, it helps to note where the itching occurs, whether there are hot spots, redness, or hair loss, and if symptoms are seasonal, as this information guides product choice and indicates when veterinary assessment is needed.
Digestive upsets, including intermittent diarrhoea, flatulence, or soft stools, are also common reasons to reach for non‑prescription support. Mild gastrointestinal disturbance may follow dietary change, stress, scavenging, or antibiotic courses, and many pets respond well to gut‑focused supplements that help stabilise the microbiome. Options may include probiotics (beneficial bacteria), prebiotics (fermentable fibres that feed them), binding agents such as kaolin and pectin, or fibre sources that improve stool consistency. Some products add electrolytes to support hydration, especially for small dogs, kittens, or senior pets, and others combine digestive enzymes with gentle fibre for pets that are prone to sensitive stomachs. When using UK pet medication for diarrhoea, choose a product that matches your pet’s age and size, introduce it as directed, and monitor appetite and energy. Diarrhoea that is profuse, contains blood or black tarry material, is paired with repeated vomiting, or lasts more than 24–48 hours can indicate gastroenteritis or another underlying problem and warrants veterinary advice. For day‑to‑day digestive resilience, non‑prescription UK pet medication can be used thoughtfully, with careful observation of what improves your pet’s comfort.
Do I need a prescription to buy these supplements and non‑prescription treatments?
No. These products are classed as non‑prescription support, so you can buy them without a veterinary prescription. They are intended for mild issues or ongoing wellbeing, not emergencies. If your pet is on prescription medicines, is pregnant, or has chronic disease, it is sensible to check with your vet before starting anything new.
How do joint supplements help pets with arthritis?
Joint supplements support mobility by providing nutrients associated with cartilage and joint function, such as glucosamine, chondroitin, omega‑3 oils, collagen, or green‑lipped mussel. They are not the same as prescription pain relief, but they can be useful for long‑term support. Give them consistently and assess change over several weeks.
What can I use for itching without a prescription?
Non‑prescription options include soothing shampoos (for example oatmeal‑based), barrier and moisturising sprays, and skin and coat supplements containing omega‑3 fatty acids, biotin, and zinc. It also helps to ensure parasite control is up to date. If there are sores, swelling, ear problems, or persistent scratching, a vet visit is important.

Synoquin Growth for Puppies
Synoquin Growth for Puppies is a scientifically formulated nutritional supplement developed to support healthy joint development in growing dogs. Designed for use during the rapid growth phase, it provides essential nutrients that help form strong cartilage, support joint structure, and promote lifelong mobility. Puppies of fast-growing or large breeds, as well as those predisposed to joint issues, can particularly benefit from early joint support to help reduce the risk of future problems.
How Synoquin Growth Works
During the first year of life, puppies experience intense physical growth. Their bones lengthen rapidly, muscles develop, and joints adapt to increasing weight and movement. This period places a high demand on the body’s natural ability to produce joint tissue and maintain smooth, cushioned movement. Synoquin Growth supports this process by supplying a combination of key nutrients that work together to nourish joint cartilage and surrounding structures.
Each capsule of Synoquin Growth contains a balanced blend of Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Chondroitin Sulphate, Dexahan® (Krill Oil), Vitamin C, and Zinc Sulphate. These ingredients have complementary roles in maintaining joint health and promoting efficient growth.
Together, these ingredients work together to promote optimal joint development during the critical growth stages of puppyhood.
Aprylic for Cats and Dogs
Aprylic for Cats and Dogs is a complementary supplement designed to support normal brain health and cognitive function in pets. It is particularly beneficial for senior cats and dogs that may begin to show signs of age-related cognitive decline, such as confusion, reduced responsiveness, or changes in behaviour. The formulation provides targeted nutritional support to help maintain alertness, memory, and overall mental sharpness in ageing pets.
Aprylic contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are natural fats derived mainly from coconut oil. Unlike long-chain fats that need to be broken down through several digestive processes, MCTs are rapidly absorbed and converted into ketones. Ketones serve as an alternative energy source for the brain, especially when glucose metabolism becomes less efficient with age. This helps to sustain energy supply to brain cells and maintain healthy cognitive function. 500ml
Zenifel Calming Spray for Cats
Cats are sensitive animals that react strongly to changes in their surroundings. Loud noises, unfamiliar people, travel, or visits to the vet can make even the calmest cat feel anxious or unsettled. Zenifel Calming Spray for Cats is designed to help reduce stress-related behaviours by promoting a sense of calm and comfort in your cat’s environment.
Zenifel uses a synthetic analogue of a natural feline facial pheromone. Cats naturally produce pheromones to communicate and mark areas they consider safe and familiar. When a cat rubs its face against furniture, walls, or people, it leaves behind these pheromones. They signal that the area is secure and that the cat can relax. Zenifel replicates this natural message of reassurance, helping cats feel more comfortable in situations that might otherwise cause anxiety.
How Zenifel Calming Spray Works
Zenifel Calming Spray for Cats works by mimicking the natural pheromones that cats use to mark safe and secure spaces. When sprayed on surfaces within the cat’s environment, it provides a signal that helps reduce tension and promotes relaxation. Unlike sedatives or medications, Zenifel does not make the cat drowsy or alter its natural behaviour. Instead, it works on an emotional level to help the cat feel more at ease.
The active ingredient in Zenifel interacts with the cat’s olfactory system. When the pheromone analogue is detected, the cat interprets it as a familiar and comforting signal. This encourages the cat to settle more quickly and behave more calmly in stressful situations. The spray is particularly effective in helping cats adjust to new surroundings, cope with travel, or remain calm during potentially stressful events.
Nutravet Nutramind for Dogs & Cats
Nutramind is a nutritional supplement formulated for dogs and cats to support brain health, cognitive function and mental sharpness.

The product employs natural, ethically sourced ingredients in capsules designed to be easy to administer, whole or mixed with food.
How Nutramind Works
Nutramind works by supplying nutrients that are essential for neuronal health, neurotransmitter production and antioxidant protection. The active ingredients are:
Each capsule of Nutramind contains approximately 210 mg of total Omega-3s (with about 165 mg DHA and 32 mg EPA), 20 mg of Ginkgo biloba extract (99% pure), 3 mg phosphatidylserine, Vitamin B3, B6, B1, B8 and 15 mcg Vitamin B12, plus natural Vitamin E.

Buccaclean Dental Gel contains specific active ingredients that target the root causes of dental problems in pets. The gel works by breaking down and softening plaque and tartar, making it easier to remove through regular brushing or natural chewing. Additionally, the gel’s formula helps reduce the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, which is a major cause of gum disease and bad breath.
One of the key components of Buccaclean Dental Gel is chlorhexidine, a powerful antimicrobial agent that helps combat bacteria and inflammation in the mouth. By keeping bacterial populations under control, chlorhexidine reduces the risk of periodontal disease, a common issue in both cats and dogs. Another ingredient, sodium fluoride, supports the strengthening of tooth enamel, helping to prevent cavities and tooth decay.
The gel is designed to be easy to apply, either directly to the pet’s gums and teeth or by using a toothbrush. For pets that are resistant to brushing, the gel can also be applied using your finger or even added to your pet’s favourite chew toy, making the application process less stressful while still delivering the necessary benefits.
Surosolve Ear Cleaner is a non-irritating ear cleaner especially crafted to keep the ears of your pets hygienically clean. Surosolve works through an antibacterial flush and an antibiotic potentiating agent. This dual-action ensures that not only is the ear cleaned, but the normal microbiological balance of the ear canal is also restored. This is crucial for animals with dirty or smelly ears and for routine cleaning to reduce the risk of ear problems developing.
Dogs and cats have a more profound and winding ear canal than humans, making them more susceptible to ear infections, wax build-up, and other related problems. Regular cleaning with Surosolve can prevent these issues, ensuring that your pet remains comfortable and free from potential pain or irritation. Surosolve for dogs and cats is a product designed to address this need effectively.
Dirty ears can become a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast, leading to infections that can be painful and, in severe cases, lead to hearing loss. Surosolve for dogs and cats offers a proactive approach to ear health, ensuring that potential problems are addressed before they become severe.
Horses, like humans, can experience digestive disturbances due to various stressors such as travelling, worming, or antibiotic treatments. Maintaining a healthy gut microflora is essential for their overall well-being. Protexin Quick Fix for Horses is a solution designed to rapidly re-establish the horse's gut microflora during these challenging times.
Quick Fix for Horses is packed with a potent combination of probiotics and prebiotics. The probiotic component, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is known for its ability to promote fibre digestion. This ensures that horses get the maximum nutritional benefit from their diet. Additionally, it contains essential amino acids, vital vitamins like vitamin B6, and crucial minerals.
The prebiotic component acts as food for the beneficial bacteria, ensuring their rapid growth and dominance in the gut. This dual action of probiotics and prebiotics ensures a swift return to normalcy in the horse's digestive system.

Protexin Equine Gut Bind is a unique blend of prebiotics, probiotics, kaolin, and pectin. This combination works synergistically to provide multiple benefits.
Prebiotics and Probiotics: These are essential for maintaining a balanced gut flora. Prebiotics act as food for beneficial bacteria, ensuring their growth and dominance in the gut. Probiotics, on the other hand, are live beneficial bacteria that help in restoring the natural balance of the gut microflora, especially after it has been disrupted.
Kaolin: A natural binding agent, kaolin helps in firming up the faeces. This is particularly beneficial when horses experience loose stools.
Pectin: Known for its soothing properties, pectin helps in calming and protecting the lining of the stomach, ensuring optimal gut health.
The gut is a complex ecosystem, and maintaining its balance with Protexin Gut Bind for Horses is crucial for the overall health of the horse. Prebiotics and probiotics play a pivotal role in this.
