Health Tips

 

 

Sea Kelp - is a must for all nutrition-conscious dog owners. It ads tremendous amounts of trace minerals which could be lacking in your dog's diet. A lack of these trace minerals can adversely affect the coat appearance, health and physical condition. Sea kelp is also a necessity during the growth and teething period in medium to large-boned dogs. Many trainers fail to recognize that excessive chewing may be caused by poor diet (low grade dog food or lack of supplements).
 
Brewers Yeast - Supplies a nutritional supplemental source of protein. Helps prevent nutritional deficiencies. Pets deficient in B-l, B-2 and niacin are susceptible to fleas and other pests.


Dicalcium Phosphate - Provides an easy to use supplemental source of calcium, phosphate and Vitamin D which are essential to the development of bone and tooth structure. It is recommended for use in medium and large-boned dogs. (Puppies)
 
Bone Meal - is a natural source of calcium phosphorus from dried and powdered beef bones. Steamed to promote normal bone and teeth growth. It also helps in tissue development in fast-growing pets. Use of bone meal as a supplement is good for small to medium-sized dogs.

Vitamin Mineral - These tablets provide essential supplementary nutrients to help with proper health maintenance and complete growth development. These are vitamins minerals. If nothing else is to be fed, this is surely one of the most important. This has all vitamins in it which enables it to break all other vitamins, minerals and oils.


Wheat Germ Oil - Provides a sure, rich and natural source of Vitamin E including Alpha, and Gamma Tocopherols, fortified with Vitamins A and D. Wheat germ oil ensures a health coat and health skin. The vitamins provided by this oil helps break down other vitamins.

Cod Liver Oil - Is an excellent natural supply of Vitamin D, which aids in the proper metabolism of calcium for bone development. This oil is very important in medium to large-boned dogs and dogs with skin problems.
