Why do we need an in diet supplement for dogs?
The quality of your pet’s life depends on what you feed it. In today’s world, responsible pet owners use a quality health dog supplement. Here’s why…
If you feed a commercial convenience diet to your dog…
Pet food manufacturing involves extensive mincing and high temperature processing.
Thereafter it is subject to extensive transportation and storage. Each step destroys essential nutrients.
Also, key nutrients, such as vitamins and trace minerals, added during manufacturing are synthetic, inorganic and man-made.
So, despite fulfilling the requirements of labeling on the container, they are too often poorly taken up or utilized by the animal.
Even the “best” processed pet foods cannot be depended upon to provide all essential nutrients for all pets simply because they are processed!
As a result, increases in chronic degenerative illness such as skin problems, allergies, diabetes and immune deficient diseases in people’s pets mirrors the same problems that have mushroomed in humans since the food chain contains more and more processed foods.
If you feed a Biologically Appropriate Raw Food or BARF diet…
Even if you are conscientiously opting for the better alternative animal health foods, this may not be sufficient.
The raw materials obtained from today’s agricultural lands are suffering declining fertility worldwide. So no matter how raw and fresh the foods that you provide are, they cannot contain more essential nutrients than the depleted soils on which they were grown.
Because of this it is almost impossible to derive enough minerals and vitamins to meet the average person’s or dog’s needs even from an “excellent” diet without supplementation.
However, the supplementation must be in the form of biologically available, natural substances. Artificial forms are often poorly assimilated by the body and of little benefit.
