Why does my pet need vitamins, herbs or other supplements?
Because even Veterinarians agree that your pets do! They live closer to the ground, closer to pollutants that emanate from synthetic carpets, or to cleaning solvents used on the floor, or to the herbicides and pesticides sprayed in the yard, eat highly processed food, possibly the most highly processed on the planet; and, often the ingredients are of questionable origin, loaded with chemicals and artificial colors, only meet minimal dietary requirements, and even if vitamins are added they are lost in the processing.
Vitamins are necessary for literally tens of thousands of different chemical reactions in the body. They often work in conjunction with minerals and enzymes to assure normal digestion, reproduction, muscle and bone growth and function, healthy skin and hair, clotting of blood, and the use of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates by the body.
For example, a 2007 study published in The Veterinary Journal concluded that dogs treated with glucosamine-chondroitin sulfate showed less pain and more mobility after 70 days of treatment. Also, a study published in the American Journal of Veterinary Research showed that fatty acids can help coats look better and fish oil supplements can reduce inflammation.
According to Natural Pet Magazine, "it has been found that supplementing pets' diets with a trace mineral combination can show tremendous improvements in coat and body weight maintenance as well as controlling food allergies, flea allergy dermatitis, and endocrine-immune imbalances."
