For more joy of movement
Dogs need a lot of exercise and like to romp around outdoors. Supporting these skills is important to maintain your four-legged friend's zest for life. The development and maintenance of mobility and joy of movement in dogs can be easily supported. cdVet offers a variety of products with natural ingredients that support your dog's health.
A mineral deficiency in dogs affects various areas of the body. For example, there may be a drop in general energy, an accumulation of infections due to a weakened immune system or a poorer coat condition.
Supplementary feed can be useful in cases of deficiency symptoms, increased stress, great physical exertion, raw feeding or after an operation, for example. Which products are suitable for your dog depends very much on the individual.
Both food options have advantages and disadvantages. The choice depends on various factors, including the individual needs and preferences of the dog. However, when feeding dry food, care should be taken to ensure that the dog is sufficiently hydrated. If the dog generally drinks little, water can be added to the dry food to ensure adequate intake.
A complete feed is a complete and balanced feed that contains all the nutrients needed for a healthy diet. Supplementary feed is used in addition to regular feeding to supplement certain nutrients or functions.
A healthy dog's nutritional needs are largely covered by a complete, high-quality complete feed. However, vitamins and minerals in conventional feed are usually contained in synthetic form, which puts a strain on the metabolism. In some cases, such as illness, pregnancy or old age, the nutritional needs are changed or increased. In these cases, nutritional supplements can be a useful addition to daily feeding. When BARFing, supplementary feed can be added specifically to make the food more complete.
In ataxia, the coordination of movement sequences is disturbed. This is noticeable through insecurity when walking and standing up, sometimes also changes in behavior or personality.
The joints are nourished by alternating loading and unloading. Immobility is therefore bad for the joint cartilage and all surrounding structures. The extent of movement should always be adapted to the dog's constitution and activity level. In terms of nutrition, the joint can be supported by green-lipped mussel powder, for example.
In a herniated disc, one or more discs in the dog's spine are damaged or displaced. This can lead to pain, restricted movement and neurological symptoms. The symptoms can vary depending on the severity and location of the injury.
The painless cracking is often caused by a shortening of muscles and tendons. When moving, air bubbles in the synovial fluid can also create these noises. If your dog shows pain signals, the musculoskeletal system should be examined.
A trapped nerve can be very painful. Typical signs include a reluctance to move, growling when touched and licking the painful area. Lameness in the affected limbs also changes the dog's gait.
