Pawsitively Pure Recommends Mercola Supplements for Your Dog's Health
Supplementing Your Dog’s Diet
I prefer that your pet receive all the nutrition they need through the foods they eat. However, that's not always possible.
The best of diets – even a raw, species-specific diet – can come from soils that are depleted or from lower quality food sources. Sometimes, the food simply loses many of its nutrients through processing and storage.
And most commercially available pet foods, even if they're "fortified" to meet AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) standards, contain synthetic vitamins and minerals which have their place, but are further removed from naturally derived supplements.
That's why I feel it’s important to feed your dog the highest level of nutrient dense dog food using human grade ingredients made by Pawsitively Pure Dog Food as well as offer your pet additional supplements, I have been using Mercola products for over 10 years for my dogs and I swear by them; they are great for dogs and really make a difference in their health and well-being.
Here are a few of the Mercola supplements we use on a regular basis:
Digestive Enzymes
Betaine HCl - break down proteins into peptides and amino acids and fats into triglycerides
Bromelain (pineapple) – one of the safest and most powerful enzymes to help break down and digest protein
Papain (papaya) – a natural plant-sourced enzyme that works together with bromelain to digest protein
Pancreatin – an animal-based pancreatic enzyme providing all three of these enzymes:
Protease – helps break down proteins into amino acids for digestion
Amylase – for splitting and breaking down long-chain carbohydrates, including starch and glycogen (the energy-storage molecule in animal tissue) for digestion in the small intestine
Lipase – helps break down and digest fats
When used this way, after meals, the enzymes circulate throughout her body via the bloodstream, helping to:
Support the healthy circulation of blood through arteries
Maintaining normal immune function
Clear cellular debris while cleansing tissue
Stimulate healthy new cell growth
Promote normal cell growth
Promote a healthy immune response
Support normal detoxification processes
Clear away undigested proteins, cleansing the lymph and blood
