Advantages
Shiny fur not only looks good on dogs and cats; it is also a sign of good health. It also gives an indication of healthy skin function, because if this is impaired, fur growth also suffers.
Skin is the largest organ in animals and therefore deserves at least as much attention as the internal organs when it comes to the supply of nutrients. It forms a natural barrier and, together with the fur, fulfils an important protective function against a wide range of environmental influences.
Symptoms such as redness, itching, bald spots or dull fur are always an indication that the well-being of the animal is impaired. It is not uncommon for internal diseases such as metabolic disorders, infections or deficiency symptoms to also reflect on the skin and coat of the animal. A balanced diet is important on the one hand for keeping skin and coat healthy, and on the other hand, for the entire constitution and a functioning organism, which reflects in healthy skin and a shiny coat. In addition to the usual nutrient supply, pay particular attention to covering the requirement for B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids.
If the digestion of dogs and cats works, the absorbed nutrients can be supplied to the organism. They are then available to the organism for all the important functions it has to perform.
Even a balanced diet can lead to deficiency symptoms if digestion and nutrient absorption are not working properly. A healthy gastrointestinal tract is therefore an important prerequisite for the body to be optimally supplied.
Intestinal flora plays an essential role here:
Good digestion and food supply depend on a stable culture of microorganisms. However, if harmful bacteria gain the upper hand, both are impaired. In the long term, the health of the animal suffers. Immune system can be weakened. In extreme cases, secondary diseases can also occur in addition to deficiency symptoms. This can be counteracted with a balanced supply of the microorganisms that are important for a stable intestinal flora. Bacteria that support intestinal activity are supplied with probiotics. Additional administration of probiotics also promotes their stable growth. At the same time, the survival of harmful intestinal bacteria is made more difficult.
