快收藏！功能營養補充品當紅，犬貓明星保健成分一次掌握

當你幫自己挑選含有益生菌的優格或添加膠原蛋白的保健飲時，有沒有想過，毛孩的餐盤也正走向同樣的「功能化」？

根據美國寵物產品協會（APPA）2025年最新報告：超過一半的狗主人與三分之一的貓主人，已經習慣性在日常餵食中添加營養補充品或功能型零食。這不只是市場風潮，也反映消費者心理與醫療照護需求交會的趨勢轉變。

📊 功能型補充品的市場爆發

根據市場調查機構 Technavio 和 Grand View Research 預測：全球寵物補充品市場預計在2027年前突破10.5億美元，並維持每年9%以上的複合成長率。其中，最受歡迎的項目包含：

* 促進消化排便／腸道保健（如益生菌、酵素）

* 關節修護（含綠唇貽貝、軟骨素）

* 皮毛護理（如Omega-3、亞麻仁油、酵母鋅）

* 免疫力與抗氧化（維生素C/E、多酚類）

* 情緒放鬆（如L-色胺酸、CBD、大麻素萃取）

🧪 從獸醫與營養學角度看補充品價值

根據《Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition》2024 年的系統性回顧文獻指出：當寵物處於老齡期、有慢性疾病、術後恢復期或壓力適應階段時，適當補充機能營養成分，有助於提升生活品質與降低併發症風險。

例如：

* 關節補充品可延緩關節退化速度

* 益菌可減少慢性下痢與食慾不佳發生率

* 魚油與抗氧化劑對腎臟病與皮膚病有緩解效果

此外，一些特別針對貓咪設計的補品，如牛磺酸與維生素B群，也有助於改善疲勞、神經功能與貓咪情緒穩定。

💡 消費者心理：不只是預防，而是情感投射

在《People and Animals Journal》2023年的飼主心理研究中：「為毛孩補充保健品」的行為，與人類為孩子購買強化營養配方極為相似。許多飼主表示，透過補品補給，自己更有參與照顧的「行動感」，也加強彼此間的關愛連結。

我們也觀察到，台灣飼主也愈來愈願意選擇添加功能性營養素的鮮食包或零食作為「日常維持」、「疾病輔助」與「年齡照顧」的日常選項。許多品牌甚至針對不同體質、年齡、行為狀態開發「個別化營養組合」，創造出介於「食物」與「保健品」間的新品類。

‼️提醒：

犬貓保健品常添加的葡萄糖胺、軟骨素市售多為半合成或純化加工，易過敏毛孩如貓咪慎用；

許多Omega-3（魚油）、Omega-6（植物油）也可能經過精製、濃縮（非全合成），且越高濃度越可能精煉處理；

另維生素E、生物素、Curcumin、UC-II等，市售保健品常以化學純化原料供應；

而許多飼主最愛鱉蛋粉，則有荷爾蒙敏感性疾病如乳腺腫瘤、腎病、肝病毛孩不建議使用。

🐕 保健品不是萬靈丹，而是精準照護的橋梁

這裡特別體醒及鼓勵飼主：

* 要避免「一窩蜂」購買市售號稱有效或網紅、明星代言的成分。

* 須避免過度補充與交互作用風險，及食用過多造成營養過剩及肝腎負擔。

* 應依據寵物實際體質與健康狀況做選擇，並諮詢專業意見。

* 法規分類仍不明確，須注意標示合法，優先考慮有來源證明與配方有科學依據，更多臨床實證與長期研究數據的品牌與產品。

* 若可整合在鮮食配方中調整，或是挑選天然草本、中藥成分，會是更安全且符合自然餵食的方式。

Save now! Functional nutritional supplements are popular, and you can get the star health ingredients for dogs and cats at one glance

When you choose yogurt containing probiotics or health drinks with added collagen for yourself, have you ever thought that your pet’s plate is also moving towards the same “functionalization”?

According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA) 2025 report, more than half of dog owners and one-third of cat owners already habitually add nutritional supplements or functional treats to their daily diets. This isn't just a market trend; it also reflects a shift in consumer psychology and healthcare needs.

📊 The market for functional supplements is booming

According to market research firms Technavio and Grand View Research, the global pet supplement market is expected to exceed $1.05 billion by 2027, maintaining a compound annual growth rate of over 9%. The most popular categories include:

* Promote digestion and bowel movements/intestinal health (such as probiotics, enzymes)

* Joint repair (containing green-lipped mussel and chondroitin)

* Skin and fur care (such as Omega-3, linseed oil, yeast zinc)

* Immunity and antioxidants (vitamin C/E, polyphenols)

* Mood relaxation (such as L-tryptophan, CBD, cannabinoid extract)

🧪 The value of supplements from a veterinary and nutritional perspective

According to a 2024 systematic review in the Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, when pets are elderly, have chronic diseases, are recovering from surgery, or are in the stress adaptation stage, appropriate supplementation of functional nutrients can help improve their quality of life and reduce the risk of complications.

For example:

* Joint supplements can slow down joint degeneration

* Beneficial bacteria can reduce the incidence of chronic diarrhea and poor appetite

* Fish oil and antioxidants can alleviate kidney and skin diseases

In addition, some supplements designed specifically for cats, such as taurine and B vitamins, can also help improve fatigue, nerve function and mood stability in cats.

💡 Consumer psychology: not just prevention, but emotional projection

A 2023 study of pet owners published in the People and Animals Journal found that the practice of providing supplements to pets is very similar to purchasing fortified formula for human children. Many pet owners expressed a greater sense of involvement in their care and a stronger bond with their pets through supplements.

We've also observed that Taiwanese pet owners are increasingly choosing fresh food packs or snacks fortified with functional nutrients as a daily option for "daily maintenance," "disease support," and "age care." Many brands are even developing personalized nutritional packages tailored to different physical conditions, ages, and behavioral states, creating a new category that sits somewhere between "food" and "health supplements."

‼️Reminder:

Glucosamine and chondroitin, commonly added to dog and cat health supplements, are mostly semi-synthesized or purified on the market. They should be used with caution by cats prone to allergies.

Many Omega-3 (fish oil) and Omega-6 (vegetable oil) may also be refined and concentrated (not fully synthetic), and the higher the concentration, the more likely it is to be refined;

In addition, vitamin E, biotin, curcumin, UC-II, etc., are often supplied as chemically purified raw materials in commercial health supplements;

While many pet owners love turtle egg powder, it is not recommended for pets with hormone-sensitive diseases such as breast tumors, kidney disease, and liver disease.

🐕 Health supplements are not a panacea, but a bridge to precise care

Here we especially remind and encourage pet owners:

* Avoid blindly buying ingredients that are marketed as effective or endorsed by influencers or celebrities.

* Avoid over-supplementation and the risk of interactions, as well as excessive consumption that causes nutritional excess and burdens the liver and kidneys.

* The choice should be made based on the actual physical condition and health status of the pet, and professional advice should be sought.

* Regulatory classifications are still unclear, so attention should be paid to legal labeling. Priority should be given to brands and products with proven origins, scientifically based formulas, and more clinical evidence and long-term research data.

* If it can be integrated into fresh food formulas or natural herbs and Chinese medicine ingredients are selected, it will be a safer and more natural feeding method.
