I’m overly concerned about my dog’s health. I feed him the best food and take him to the vet for check ups; but it’s not enough. I want to make sure my dog is as healthy as possible. I’m looking into dog vitamins. Does anyone know if they’re effective for dogs? One site actually discusses how various dog vitamins have helped dogs but it’s just one site. I need to know if there is a specific type of vitamin I should be giving my dog. I don’t want to feed him vitamins and end up finding out they’re full of harmful stuff. Are there any vets out there or other dog owners who have had experience with vitamins? I need to know!

We took him to the vet. The vet’s first question is what have you been feeding the dog. We told him the name of the food and where we were buying it. We found out that our dog was starving.

An article excerpt about Nutro Pet Food

Earlier this year, many pet owners got quite a scare when they discovered that many pets had become ill and some had even died from eating tainted pet food. This scare multiplied exponentially as the list of pet foods affected grew longer and longer. The source of the contamination was traced by the FDA to a wheat protein that had been exported from China, and had been used in many of the pet foods that are distributed in the United States as well as worldwide.

Cats are fastidious animals. Cats are unable to digest the hair they swallow. A problem is caused if the cat is most likely low on fiber, which renders it incapable of passing the hair. The hair builds up and forms a hairball. The distressed cat begins to cough and attempts to throw-up the hairball. For the loving cat owner, the gagging and retching is worrisome not to mention the annoying cleanup afterwards. Constant hairballs can result in digestive track troubles such as loss of appetite and constipation. You cannot eliminate your cat from swallowing all its loose hair. If your cat needs more assistance with its hairballs, there are commercial products that can be applied to the top of its front paws. The cat will attempt to lick these off; which will aid in the hair passing through the digestive system. You may also feed your cat specially made cat food diets and treats that are intended to prevent the development of hairballs. Do not feed your cat grass from a chemically treated lawn.

Dogs should have a minimum of 18% protein for maintenance when they are adults, and 22% for reproduction and growth. Fat should be a minimum of 5% for adult dogs, and 8% for reproduction and growth. But the more fat that is in the diet, the more protein there should be. Fat makes dogs, as well as people, eat less by making them feel fuller. If they eat less, and there are less of other essential nutrients like protein and vitamins and minerals, the dog will not get the nourishment it needs.
