The Unsung Heroes of Your Dog’s Health
Just protein and fat aren’t enough—micronutrients complete the picture.
While protein and fat form the core of your dog’s diet, vitamins and minerals are the fine-tuners—keeping everything running smoothly. They support growth, immunity, organ function, bone strength, and even emotional balance.
And yet, these are the most commonly overlooked nutrients in home-prepared or unbalanced kibble diets.
Why Are Vitamins & Minerals So Important?
- Stronger Immunity – Helps fight off infections and allergies
- Bone & Joint Health – Especially in growing pups and senior dogs
- Proper Nerve & Organ Function – Keeps heart, kidneys, liver, and brain in sync.
- Improved Skin, Eyesight, and Mood – Deficiencies often show up on the outside
Signs of Deficiency Can Look Like:
- Frequent illnesses or low immunity
- Dull coat, flaky skin
- Low energy or poor appetite
- Delayed wound healing or stiffness
- Behavioral changes or anxiety
Some Natural Sources
- Organ Meat – Powerhouse of Nature’s multivitamin
- Leafy greens (Palak, Methi) – Rich in iron, magnesium, and antioxidants
- Eggs – Contain multiple vitamins including B12 and A
- Pumpkin & Carrot – Beta-carotene (Vitamin A precursor)
- Curd & Paneer – Good calcium sources
- Bone broth (homemade) – Loaded with minerals and collagen
⚠️ Supplements may be needed—but only after assessing your dog’s current diet and bloodwork. Over-supplementation is just as harmful as deficiency.
How to achieve a Healthy, Balanced Diet that works
Every dog’s nutritional needs are unique. Their age, weight, activity level, and health conditions must be carefully considered before deciding what and how much to feed.
That’s why it’s essential to work with a certified canine nutritionist to ensure your dog’s diet is not just good—but right for them.
