Vitamins and minerals at optimum levels promote
growth, health, stamina, reproductive ability, disease resistance,
detoxification and longevity. Given the absolute importance
to health of adequate vitamins and minerals in the diet,
the question is, do dogs and cats eating BARF require extra
supplementation? A properly formulated BARF diet will contain
an abundance of vitamins and minerals, which will be delivered
in a biologically appropriate form and should therefore not
need to be supplemented.
However, food grown on poor quality soils,
harvested before ripe and transported long distances, may
have lower levels of vitamins and minerals than expected.
In addition, some animals with specific needs, in particular
life stages, or suffering particular health problems, may
need supplementation of vitamins or possibly minerals, over
and above the basic BARF diet.
There are two vitamin
and mineral supplements that may be used on a regular basis...
