The Importance of Adding Supplements To Your Pets’ Diet

Life’s Abundance Dog and Cat Supplements

One of the most common questions regarding pets’ diets is, “Why is there a need for us to give our pets ‘supplements’? Just what exactly are they?”

Although high-quality pet food could offer our canines and felines with a solid foundation, food alone is not enough to provide all the necessary nutrients for their special needs. These needs are determined by an animal’s breed, genetics, environment, age, and activity level.
For instance, an old dog would not have the same nutritional requirements as a six-month old pup. The former would necessitate more antioxidants in her diet to combat the free radicals that accelerate aging. In the same vein, a Husky, for instance, is known to benefit from a greater amount of zinc than other breeds.

Once there is a deficiency in one or more nutrients, your pet would be highly vulnerable to all sorts of ailments. This is the reason why pet owners should pay more attention to daily supplements.

The most important feature to look for in a supplement is necessity. There are vitamins and minerals which, when taken in excessive amounts, can be harmful. There are also supplements that are suitable only for dogs, some that are exclusively for cats, and some that can be administered to both. It goes without saying, though, that you should always discuss additions to your pet’s diet with a veterinarian.

Ideally, supplements should be:
 appropriate for the weight, age (puppy, adult, or senior), breed/species, and health of your pet;
 easy to administer (in liquid, powder, pill, or other forms);
 palatable for your pet;
 safe;
 cost effective; and
 guaranteed.
These have all been kept into consideration by renowned veterinarian Dr. Jane Bicks, the Product Formulator of Life’s Abundance pet food and supplements. She has devoted a lot of effort to developing cutting-edge nutritional formula with a wide spectrum of vitamins and minerals, plus an assortment of proteins that are essential for the growth and maintenance of your pets’ body tissues. These revolutionary products also contain a high level of antioxidants derived from plant nutrients.
