Riboflavin – 1.0mg

Promotes growth.

 

Niacin – 10mg

A constituent of many enzymes that process carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

 

Pyridoxine – 0.1mg

Important in the metabolism of proteins and in the formation of red blood cells.

 

Vitamin C – 120mg

Participates in the formation of bones, teeth and soft tissue. Is an antioxidant that is helpful during times of stress. It is abundant in fresh foods, but is killed during the high temperature processing of dog foods.

 

Vitamin B12 – 0.0005mg

Necessary for normal DNA synthesis and intestinal function.

 

FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS

 

Vitamin A – 1,000 IU

Necessary for proper vision, especially night vision. Important in bone growth, reproduction, and maintenance of tissues such as the lungs, intestines and skin.

 

Vitamin D3 – 100 IU

Critical to the dog’s ability to use calcium and phosphorus for bone and cartilage growth and maintenance.

 

Vitamin E – 2 IU

An Antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage. Especially important for muscular and reproductive function. Is helpful during times of stress. Is abundant in fresh foods, but is killed during the high temperature processing of dog foods.

 

MINERALS

Minerals are present in small amounts in the tissues of all living things. Teeth, bones, muscles and nerves have especially high mineral content. Minerals can be divided into two groups: the major minerals and the trace minerals.

 

MAJOR MINERALS

Required in gram amounts each day.

 

Calcium – 6% – 8%

Needed for muscle contraction, nerve transmission and for blood coagulation. It is also required to activate numerous enzymes that affect virtually every process in the cell. Strengthens dog’s bones and teeth.

 

Phosphorus – 5%

Plays a part in nearly all chemical reactions in your dog’s body. Strengthens dog’s bones and teeth.

 

Magnesium  – .2%

Essential for many of the cells enzymatic reactions. Also helps promote the absorption and metabolism of many other vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C and E, calcium and phosphorus. Important in bone growth and development.

 

Potassium – .8%

Helps nerves to function and muscles to contract. Helps heartbeat to stay regular. Also helps move nutrients into cells and waste products out of cells.

 

TRACE MINERALS

Required in milligrams or microgram amounts per day.

 

Iron – 3mg

Is present in every cell in the body. It is particularly important, along with protein and copper, for the production of red blood cells, which are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to every part of the body.

 

Copper – 0.1mg

A trace mineral that has many different functions. It is needed for the production of blood and for the proper absorption of iron. It is also involved in the production of connective tissue and in healing.

 

Zinc – 1.5mg

Important in the metabolism of several vitamins, particularly the B-vitamins. Zinc is also a component of several enzymes needed for digestion and metabolism and it promotes healing as well. Your dog needs zinc for proper coat health.

 

Manganese – 0.25mg

A component of many different enzymes systems in the body. Most importantly it activates enzymes that regulate nutrient metabolism.

 

Iodine – 0.05mg

Critical for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, which regulates the body’s metabolism and energy levels and promotes growth.

 

ELECTROLYTES

 

Chloride  – .7%

One of the most important electrolytes in the blood. It helps keep the amount of fluid inside and outside of cells in balance. It also helps maintain proper blood volume, blood pressure, and pH of body fluids.
