Parakeet vitamins can sometimes be a helpful supplement to your budgie's regular diet. Although parakeets fed a complete and balanced pelleted diet often get the vitamins, minerals, and overall nutrition needed for good health, your vet may recommend budgie vitamins or other parakeet supplements to address specific health needs.
Vitamins and supplements that are good for parakeets include:
Calcium and vitamin D are often-recommended budgie supplements, especially for egg-laying birds. While cuttlebones and mineral blocks can often supply these nutrients, your vet may recommend additional dietary supplementation. Some vets also recommend vitamin A for parakeets, especially those who don't get enough beta carotene from fresh veggies or a packaged bird diet.
Multivitamins may be recommended for parakeets facing nutritional or health challenges, and feather-enhancing supplements like molting vitamins are another popular choice for parakeets. Probiotics may be helpful for boosting immunity and digestion, while calming supplements can sometimes help nervous or stressed budgies.
Just be sure to always ask your vet before giving your budgie supplements or altering your parakeet's diet in any way. Once your vet gives you the go-ahead, though, you can get all your parakeet supplements at Chewy and set them to Autoship as often as you need them!
Give your parakeet vitamins and supplements as directed by your vet. If your vet recommends a supplement for your budgie, ask for guidance on how to give it, or follow the package label instructions. Parakeet supplements often come in powder, liquid, or food blend form for easy administration. You may be instructed to mix them into your bird’s food or water, to offer them alone, or to add them to your bird’s crop.
