Do you remember when you first brought your new puppy home? Was she full of mischief and energy? Then as the days turned into years and seemingly without notice, she began to lose much of that youthful vigor. Your dog’s immune system, which was designed to help ward off illness, begins to work overtime in response to all of the toxins she is exposed to. You may begin to notice signs of fatigue.
Do you remember when you first brought your new puppy home? Was she full of mischief and energy? Then as the days turned into years and seemingly without notice, she began to lose much of that youthful vigor. Your dog’s immune system, which was designed to help ward off illness, begins to work overtime in response to all of the toxins she is exposed to. You may begin to notice signs of fatigue. Maybe she just seems listless. The sad fact is, our pets can’t tell us when they’re sick. They rely on us to take care of all their needs.
From their daily diet to dealing with sickness, they are depending on us.
Somehow we think that all we need to do is set down a bowl of dry food every day and that will take care of everything. However, just as in human health, there are many factors that contribute to the health of your pet. A high quality diet, daily exercise, minimal stress and high quality nutritional supplements can all help with your dog’s immunity and her overall health. It is our job as responsible pet owners to do our best to meet these needs.
I have seen people make relatively small, positive changes in their pet’s lifestyle and yield some amazing results.
Your dog’s immune system acts as an invisible shield to protect her from invading bacteria and toxins. This immune system is made up of white blood cells and proteins in the blood that work together with the spleen, thymus and liver to regulate the dog’s immune system. This system also has an organization of vessels, the lymphatic system, whose function is to drain toxins and waste products from the tissues.
This elaborate structure is what keeps our pets healthy and free of disease.
In today’s, pet, environment it is almost impossible to avoid all environmental toxins because they are in the air, in chemicals and pesticides and even in our pet’s food. This constant onslaught requires our dog’s immune system to be overworked and increases her need for daily supplements and nutritional support. The good news is there are powerful botanicals that can stimulate your dog’s immune system helping it to overcome illness and prevent the development of chronic disease.
