supplements: radiant coat
Studies have shown that larger doses of vitamins and trace minerals can help improve cell function and enhance overall health. For proper cellular function and growth, these vitamins and minerals should at least meet the minimum standards set for a dog's age and size. How do I know my dog is receiving the proper levels?
Meeting with a vet will help you find the appropriate level for your dog. A good indicator is your dog's fur. A dog's coat is one of the first areas to show deficiencies in diet and also immune system instability. Hot spots and allergies can be controlled by providing the proper nutrients for a balanced immune system.
To make sure your dog is receiving optimum levels of skin and coat enhancing vitamins and minerals, try Radiant Coat. Radiant Coat provides your dog with supplements that may be left out of a "food only" diet.
