Current Trends - Improving Immunity for Dogs & Cats

 

With so much attention devoted to the long-term health of companion animals, more and more pet parents are seeking ways to supplement their new, healthier diets. It’s important to supplement their diets with nutrition that can promote a healthy body and mind.

And, just like humans, companion animals are subjected to a host of environmental pollutants that can take a toll on their health. In the home, dogs and cats are exposed to household cleaners, the impurities of tap water, herbicides and even to repeated use of prescription medicines. All of these elements can have a negative impact on a pet’s bodily organs and immune system.

To address the potential harmful effects of low-quality foods and environmental factors, HealthyPetNet has developed two powerful supplements – one to address the needs of dogs, and one for cats.

This supplement provides effective levels and amounts of essential nutrients, like vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients (plant-based nutrients), and antioxidants. We’ve included these ingredients because they have demonstrated an ability to support a multitude of benefits, including immunity, vision, energy, bone and skin health, and general well being. 

Advanced Daily Supplement contains optimal levels of multi-functional vitamins, including A, C, and D, as well as vital B vitamins thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B12), and the cobalamins (B12). Research suggests that elderly dogs may especially benefit from the antioxidants vitamins C and E. Vitamin C may be crucial for immune health and the production of collagen, a key component in the ongoing maintenance of teeth, bone, and connective tissue. Vitamin E appears to play an important role in the support of healthy immunity and vision, and better muscle and skin health. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) helps support healthy skin and coats, and aids in cellular energy production and neurological health. And the antioxidant vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a vital nutrient, responsible for hormone and amino acid production. Not only that, it is linked to neurological health, metabolic support, and muscular and cardiovascular health.

Additionally, the Advanced Daily Supplement contains a wide array of multi-functional minerals, including calcium, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, iron, copper, manganese and iodine. Other ingredients include the plant-based compound beta-sitosterol, which has been shown to promote healthy immune functioning, and the antioxidant N-Acetyl-Cysteine, shown to support immunity, healthy liver functioning, and respiratory and neurological health. This proprietary formula also includes barley grass, a “green food” found to increase levels of “friendly” bacteria (probiotics), improve energy and digestion, help reduce bad breath, and promote healthy skin and coats. And last but not least, Advanced Daily Supplements for Dogs has a delicious roast beef flavor that your furry friends will love – so your pup will be happy to take his or her multivitamin, every single day!

Immune & Body Support for Cats

While feeding a healthy diet of Life’s Abundance and Instinctive Choice is a fantastic way to provide your cat with the nutrient balance needed to maintain wellness, it’s also true that no two cats have precisely the same nutritional requirements. Breed, age, activity level, environment, genetics and other factors determine your cat’s special needs. Veterinarian Dr. Jane Bicks formulated Immune & Body Support to incorporate the additional nutrients that are vital for optimum feline health. And most importantly, this advanced daily supplement works synergistically with these nutritious diets to fulfill the individual needs of each and every cat.

As is the case with HealthyPetNet’s popular Instinctive Choice premium canned food, Immune & Body Support is informed by the nature and evolution of the modern house cat. For example, the heart and muscles of prey are rich in L-Carnitine, and the cartilage of prey provides the glucosamine necessary for healthy joints. Additionally, antioxidants and plant sterols (beta-sitosterol) support a healthy immune system and natural defenses. Immune & Body Support also provides a broad spectrum of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, herbs and whole food concentrates to supplement a healthy diet and maintain optimal health. This comprehensive supplement includes all the additional nutrients to help your cat to thrive, based upon sound science. And best of all, Immune & Body Support has a delicious liver flavor that even finicky cats love!

Whether you have cats, dogs or both, HealthyPetNet has your needs covered with Advanced Daily Supplement and Immune & Body Support. Remember, anything you can do now to help support their immune systems can have long-reaching effects on their health.
