If you notice your animal being lethargic, having poor coat quality, and maybe losing weight, they could be struggling from poor nutrition or even malabsorption. It could be a digestive issue or just a need to bolster the nutrient intake.
Poor nutrition is basically due to one of two causes: (1) poor nutrition intake or (2) poor absorption of nutrients. Since a number of symptoms are the same, it may be hard to discern which one of these causes are to blame. Here are some simple signs to look for, and what you can do to support proper nutrition.
Signs it may just be poor nutrition:
- Weight loss
- Poor coat quality
- Lethargy
Signs it could be a lack of digestive enzymes:
Any combination of the above plus:
- Changes in the stool: Foul smell, Undigested food, yellow stool.
- Other: Bad Breath (especially seemingly out of nowhere), vomiting, gas or bloating
What to do Nutritionally
If Poor nutrition is suspected: Consider using a vitamin and mineral supplement to improve the diet. It’s just a fact or our times; that we are all are challenged when it comes to the modern diet and being healthy and your pet is no different. With the environmental issues, excessive chemical use, and overall pollution, we have a strong argument for the use of vitamins and mineral supplements.
Nusentia’s Spectrin™ formulas (for Dogs or for Cats) are designed to provide all the key nutrients for proper metabolic function and good nutrition. This really benefits the pet by boosting energy and helping to provide the substrates for many of the organ systems in the body. If your pet needs better nutrition, Spectrin will provide it and help to resolve any of the related issues. Spectrin full spectrum vitamin and mineral is as simple way to fill the nutritional gaps that our pets can face (especially with older animals), and really increase their overall well-being.
If poor Enzyme function is suspected: This one is really simple. If digestive enzymes are needed, you need to provide a digestive enzyme formula.
We recommend Enzyme Miracle® because it contains the needed digestive enzymes that a canine or feline diet needs to deliver all the nutrition out of the food. In addition, it doubles as a systemic enzyme product to support many of your pet’s metabolic processes—bringing amazing results for animals in need of digestive and systemic support. Enzyme Miracle maximizes pet health by getting to the root of the issue. It is an easy to use, economical way to resolve any digestive enzyme deficiency, and the resulting symptoms.
