Pets Need Vitamins Too

Article Title: Pets Need Vitamins Too
Author: Mary Lorainne

Some if not many of us love animals and enjoy taking care of
them as pets especially dogs. I for one enjoy the company of
dogs and take pleasure in giving them a pat, a hug or a walk in
the park. Some families even treat their pets as members of
their family. Dogs as they say are man's best friend and of all
the animals I have known the dog is one of them who would always
remain loyal and stay by your side no matter what.

There may be times when our dog may be feeling weak or getting
sick. You bring them to the vet and have them treated. Your
dog may not be getting enough nutrients to keep him or her
healthy and strong against sickness.

Dogs just like humans need essential vitamins and minerals to
enable their bodies to function effectively. Vitamins and
minerals are essential for its growth, repair of damaged
tissues, having strong teeth and bones and digestion. It
doesn't mean that just because a dog is lower than that of a
human being that it doesn't need to have a well balanced diet as
well. In fact, like us it is important for them to eat healthy
as well. Animals that lack the needed vitamins and minerals are
more at risk to developing diseases and to having a shorter life
span.

Your pets, I suppose usually eat dried or canned food. You
have to take note that no matter how much these pet food
manufacturers guarantee to providing a balanced and complete
meal, we won't really know where its primary ingredients come
from. These foods have also already undergone a process, packed
with chemicals and artificial coloring. Many of the natural
vitamins and minerals usually get lost in the processing stage
of dried or canned pet food.

All of us even pets, without an exception are living in a world
full of toxic chemicals that may cause harm upon us. So it is
with utmost importance that your pets have vitamins to help him
or her fight combat against all these harmful elements.

You need to give your pets vitamins aside from the usual pet
food to ensure that he gets enough of what is needed to stay
healthy and strong. Pet food is not enough and vitamins and
minerals fill the gaps that pet food may lack. Visit your vet
and consult on what supplement he would recommend for your pet's
needs.
