Daily vitamins for dogs and cats

There's no doubt that a healthy diet is the best way for your dog or cat to get the essential vitamins and minerals necessary for maintaining health and warding off illness and disease.

But unfortunately, our hectic lifestyles prevent most of us from making dog and cat food from scratch with fresh, whole foods. And even if you feed your pet a natural, high-quality commercial food, chances are it still doesn't provide all the nutrients that an animal needs to stay healthy and strong.

What are some of the most important nutrients that dogs and cats need?

A multi-nutrient supplement for dogs and cats should provide your pet with proper amounts and ratios of the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidant nutrients. For a complete list of nutrients that are important for your dog or cat, visit the Vitamins page. You’ll read how specific nutrients can benefit your pet and how a deficiency in a vitamin or mineral can open the door to a host of health problems.

Why should I give my pet a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement?

Extensive research has shown that many modern-day ailments and diseases are caused by nutrient deficiencies, and exposure to environmental toxins. Fortunately, there is something we can do to support the health and the normal growth and development of our pets. By enhancing your pet's diet with a wide spectrum of supplemental vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids, we can help make up for nutritional deficiencies … which means your best friend will stay healthier longer.

So stack the odds in your pet's favor. Start today by giving it the required nutrients it needs for balanced health and the most practical “health insurance” that money can buy.

When deciding on a multivitamin, be sure to select one formulated specifically for dogs or cats since each species has specific needs. Also, consider a “senior” or “geriatric” formula for older dogs and cats – they generally have higher levels of antioxidant nutrients that are important for aging pets.
