Ten Important Tips for Purchasing a Pet Vitamin

Copyright (c) 2012 Dr. Deva Khalsa

We all want our dogs and cats to be the
healthiest they can be so it's important to give
them all the tools they need to do that. Tools
that maintain health are made up of the vitamins
and minerals in food. Unfortunately, food does
not contain all that they need. Because of
this, too many dogs and cats are getting sick.
This is why it's so important to choose a
quality supplement and these tips will help you
on that journey,
1. Your cat or dog should like the vitamins,
either as a treat or as an addition to the food.
If you need to chase your pet around to get him
to take his daily supplement, both you and your
pet will quickly tire of it.

2. The milligrams (mg.) and International units
(IU)of each vitamin should be listed on the
ingredients This tells you exactly what's in the
vitamin and you can compare apples with apples.

3. The vitamins must be complete. If a few
inexpensive components are placed in a flavored
mix, your pet is getting flavor and not a
complete formula. Vitamins and minerals provide
the body with the correct tools to stay healthy.
If you had no hammer and no nails but you had a
saw and wood you could not build or maintain a
house. It's the same with vitamins- the body
needs specific tools and vitamins should provide
all of them.

4. The vitamins must be correctly balanced.
Vitamins work together and if they are not
balanced with all the ingredients needed to get
the job done, the job simply doesn't get done.

5. The sources should be bioavailable. This
means your dog or cat should be able to absorb
and utilize the vitamins and minerals in the
mix. Powdered bone meal or oyster shells are
often used as a calcium source yet neither is
able to be absorbed or utilized. Unfortunately,
bone meal has toxic cadmium and lead in it and
these toxic metals are absorbed into your pet's
body.

6. The flavorings and formula should be
designed with respect to the high incidence of
allergies in pets. Brewers Yeast an inexpensive
by-product from brewing beer is often used as a
flavoring. It is a dilute source of inexpensive
but incomplete B vitamins and it is one of the
top foods dogs are allergic to.

7.New research on vitamins is always coming out
in the press and the vitamins should incorporate
this research into their formulation. For
example, Vitamin D3 has been found to be
deficient in people, cats and dogs and is
important in many biological processes.

8. The vitamin should be designed with the
biochemical needs of the species in mind. Cats
cannot synthesize taurine in their bodies, so
they need this amino acid included in their
vitamins. Cats only get active Vitamin D3 from
raw liver or supplements so they need a healthy
dose.

9. A vitamin that helped decrease the toxic
load of today's environment would further
promote your pet's health. Most pet vitamins do
not include Vitamin C as both dogs and cats can
create Vitamin C in their body, but Vitamin C
acts to flush systemic toxins out and boost the
immune system. Our pets are exposed to flea and
tick preventives, lawn chemicals and many
noxious substances. Extra vitamin C only helps
to keep their internal systems clean and free of
toxins and chemicals and in doing so, promotes
health.

10.The quality and the sources of the
ingredients, human grade being the best, must be
considered. Ingredients from poor sources have
poor efficacy.
