The following are the “other” 4 top reasons why it is wise to supplement your dog’s and cat’s diet. This is according to Dr. Andrew Jones, an enlightened veterinarian in BC.
4. Chronic and ongoing Ear Infections. The most common underlying
cause of ear infections is Allergies. A supplement that decreases
the allergic signs can lessen the chance of ear infections- Essential
Fatty Acids, Antioxidants and Probiotics can help in this case.
5. Withdrawn and Sleeping longer. This can be seen in
older pets which may have joint pain and discomfort of arthritis.
Old age does NOT mean inactivity and less interaction. An effective
Arthritis supplement can make your pet feel better, and be LESS
withdrawn.
6. Constant Paw chewing, excessive hair loss, and ‘Foul’ Odor. The
smelling pet is a BIG sign that your pet has an underlying health
disorder, and can benefit from a Supplement. This could be a food
allergy, inhalant allergy, and secondary skin infections with yeast
or bacteria. Supplementing with Essential Fatty Acids, Probiotics,
and Antioxidants can decrease the smell.
7. TOO many trips to your Vet. If you have a pet that seems to
repeatedly be getting ill, then you should look at what you are
feeding them, and do what you can to PREVENT diseases from happening
in the first place. Supplementing with nutrients that may improve
your pets immune response to disease, such as Colustum, Maiitake
and selected Vitamins and Minerals.
If your dog experiences any of these symptoms or you just want to be pro-active to help prevent disease check out what I use and have used successfully for over 10 years with many dogs and cats.
