You Can Start With Less When It Comes To Pet Vitamins.

You have probably all heard and read a lot of different information about health and nutrition for your dog. Commercial dog food companies realize that we want a nutritionally balanced, high quality food for our pets.

Today's commercial dog foods have improved over the years as more research has been done on the nutritional needs of pets. There are now special formulas for the different stages of your dog's life, from puppy to senior. You may be wondering, if you feed your dog a high quality, meat based dog food, does he still need vitamins?

Humans and animals subsist on a diet of lifeless inert matter in brightly adorned packaging that we call food only because we're brainwashed into eating it. and feeding it to our pets.

Vets have determined that free radicals, which are molecules that damage cells, are found everywhere in our environment. Just like for us, they weaken the immune system of our four-legged best friends.

Magnesium also works with calcium and phosphorous as well as Vitamin C, Vitamin E and potassium. Magnesium aids the body in absorbing the other vitamins and minerals. Potassium helps maintain the level of fluid and is also needed for enzymes, muscles, and nerves.

Here are the three most important questions to ask when searching for natural pet vitamins. We thought you should know the inside scoop because the decisions you make for your best friends are too important for guesswork.

First, how long have the people behind the pet vitamin formula been around? Many newcomers to the pet supplement arena have not stood the test of time. Many hope to sell their products to inexperienced dog and cat owners who don't know better. A track record of 5 to 10 years is good; 20 or more even better. For over 34 years the makers of my favorite brand have developed products that provide the best form, balance and potency possible. Second, why should I believe the claims made by pet vitamin and mineral supplement makers? Some vitamins for pets contain ingredients that are of no value or cannot be assimilated by the animal's system. Some formulations are not laboratory tested to dissolve before being eliminated from the animal's system.

A high quality, all natural pet vitamin contains some other ingredients that provide health benefits for your dog. Some of these ingredients are not as familiar, but are helpful in keeping your dog as healthy as possible. Ingredients like kelp, seaweed, algae and brewers yeast are known as prebiotic and probiotic supplements. They provide natural sources of antioxidants and vitamins, and aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Always consult with your veterinarian before you give your furry family member vitamins or supplements. It is important to have the correct combination of ingredients in the correct amount for the best result.
