Health Nuggets for Dogs and Cats
Daily Health Nuggets
 
 

 

Does your Dog or Cat suffer from any of these Ailments?

  1. Lethargy, tired, sluggish, No Zest for Life... Lazy?
  2. Allergies?
  3. Itchy Skin, Dry Skin, Dandruff? Excessive Shedding? Hair Loss?
  4. Does your dog bite his/her paws and the base of his/her tail?
  5. Runny Eyes? Tear Staining?
  6. Weak Immune System?
Try the Daily Health Nuggets. Give as treats or put into the food in the morning and evening. Slowly introduce and watch the Power of the Nuggets enhance your Dog and cat's Life!
 
The Daily Health Nugget has never been cooked, no high heat temperatures! In fact it has been air-dried, so it's nutrients are still "Living".
 
Most Dry Dog and Canned food are subjected to very high heat temperatures, destroying all the nutrients in the food. These foods are over-processed and dogs and cats just like people cannot survive on this alone...they need and crave 'living' nutrients. Watch your animal flourish on these 'Life Force' vitamins, greens and minerals!

Avoiding the cooking process, the Nuggets give back the nutrients that have been cooked out of your dog and cats food! Intended to complete your animals daily diet, may it be dry kibble, canned food, home-cooking or raw food diets.

OMEGA 3 Fatty Acids for Dogs & Cats -
Preventing and Treating disease
Did you know that all Dog and Cat breeds can benefit from omega-3 fatty acid supplementation?
 
Omega 3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats, which provide numorous health benefits for both humans and their dog and cat companions.  The Omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are considered Essential Fatty Acids because they can't be made in the body.  ALA is another fatty acid that is found in such things as flax seed oil and other vegetable based oils. In order to maintain optimal health and wellness, these fatty acids must be obtained through diet or supplementation.
 
Dogs and cats metabolize fatty acids differently.  Dogs and Cats are true carnivores and are minimally able to convert ALA(vegetable based) to DHA and EPA. Therefore, supplemetation with a high quality fish oil is suggested for your furry friends. 
 
Certain health conditons that are known to benefit from omega-3 fatty acid supplementation are related to skin allergies, joints, kidneys, and the heart. One of the key functions of the omega-3 fatty acids is to support the body's natural anti-inflammatory response.  Studies have shown supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil supports dogs and cats with inflammatory conditions.
 
Results from fatty acid supplementation vary based on underlying conditions, however you may see improvement in clinical signs withing two weeks of supplementation. Studies have shown that fatty acid levels reach a steady state within about one month of starting supplementation.
 
Omega-3 fatty acids made with fish are the best choice for our pets since they have a limited ability to make the conversion from ALA to DHA and EPA.  
 
It is important to select a fish oil that is made by a company whose standards surpass the Norwegian Medicinal, European Pharmacopoeia, Council for Responsible Nutrition and World Health Organization standards.  Fish oil should be distilled for purity without the use of chemicals, to effectively remove heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins and furans whil preserving the natural constituents of the oil. 
 
I recommend the Omega-3 fatty acids and Cod liver oil from Nordic Naturals.  They both can be found at Carol's Pet Cafe.
