Humans have enough of intelligence to decide what is good for them and what is not. Similarly wild animals

are also predisposed for finding necessary food elements in their food cycle, but-

pet animals need their owners to get them the nutritional food whenever

their body requires so. They can’t decide and find the right food on

themselves.

Because-•Vitamins and minerals will keep their body and brain functioning well•Multivitamins break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats so that their body can get energy•Along with minerals, vitamins provide them base for digestion, reproduction, bone and muscle growth•Nutritional food keep their skin and coat shiny and healthy•An immune body will keep insects, parasites and environmental toxins away from them

Minerals and their sources

In addition to vitamins, you should also consider following minerals for your pets for overall growth and immunity in them.

•Calcium: milk, yogurt, broccoli, cauliflower, bones•Phosphorus: eggs, fish, milk•Zinc: poultry, whole grains, spinach, yogurt, beef•Sulfur: meats, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, legumes•Iodine: seafood, dairy products, salt, kelp•Copper: seafood, nuts, whole grains, legumes•Iron: red meats, poultry, eggs, shellfish, legumes

The question everyone asks

As usual, people ask to our vets whether they should depend upon synthetic nutritional supplements for their pets or should they feed natural supplements that come with their food inherently.

The answer is- you might not prefer to depend upon external nutrition for your pet and it is also advisable most of the times, for dogs that are aged or sick, we need to have food that provides them with additional supplements instantly. So be careful in providing nutrition to your pet and bless them with long lasting happiness.
