While commercial diets for our pets have improved over the years, in my opinion they still fall short in promoting optimal health in our pets. In fact, numerous grocery store foods are barely sufficient to maintain even minimal health in my experience and opinion. Not only are many of these foods highly processed, which depletes the foods of numerous essential vitamins and minerals, but they are also typically full of nutritional fillers, additives and preservatives that can cause severe chronic disease when consumed over a pet’s life.
It is for this reason that I recommend that any pets consuming commercial pet foods, especially those from pet stores or supermarkets, are given a good quality multivitamin supplement. VitaChews and very VitaChews are outstanding vitamins that can enhance the quality of any food fed to our animals. Since our dogs and cats developed to eat minimally cooked meat, I always also recommend adding digestive tract enzymes to meals as well to help with digestion and absorption of nutrients, such as NaturVet Digestive Enzymes. Omega 3 fatty acids are also essential to include in a vitamin/supplement protocol in many pets, such as very Pure Omega 3, as not only is digestion helped, but Omega 3 fatty acids are also valuable in maintaining proper heart, brain, joint and kidney function as well.
