When making a homemade diet for our dog, we should be aware that we will need veterinary control and supplements that avoid nutritional deficiencies. It is very important to understand that we cannot do without dietary supplements, because if we opt for a home diet without any supplement, we can put the health of the dog at risk.
In Animal Expert we explain what dietary supplements are possible for dogs. Find out how to add these supplements to your diet, how often you should take them, and which are most important.
- In the case of dogs that feed on homemade recipes.
- Oils should be considered as one of the pillars of their diet.
- Oils are a very important source of fatty acids such as omega 3 and 6.
- DHA and EPA.
- Which provide the energy needed to perform vital functions.
- In addition.
- These oils improve the quality of hair and skin and help lubricate joints.
There are different sources of omega 3 for dogs, such as soy. Unlike omega 3, omega 6 is an essential fatty acid and should therefore be present in the diet.
There are several options. Here are some of the best nutritional support options:
Dog probiotics are formulated products that contain beneficial bacteria that are already naturally present in the dog’s intestines. They should not be confused with prebiotics, which are better suited to dogs with altered intestinal flora (most common in dogs that eat exclusively a homemade diet).
Probiotics can be found in kefir or natural yogurt. You should always opt for organic, sugar-free and preservative-free options as pure as possible. We recommend one tablespoon for every 20 kg of dog weight, 2 to 3 times per week, mixed with your meal.
Turmeric, or turmeric, is one of the most widely used and recommended spices. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer properties for dogs and humans.
According to the Canine Performance Nutrition study, published in 2014 in Florida Veterinary University’s Today’s Veterinary Practice, the use of turmeric helps prevent prostate cancer in dogs. It is also used as a nutritional treatment for arthritis.
As with all supplements, we should not abuse or use turmeric every day. Balance is the basis of a vital and energetic diet. Ideally, add a tablespoon of turmeric to your homemade recipes.
