The most important elements of VetSpec Puppy & Junior Formula

elements of VetSpec Puppy & Junior Formula

1.Protein and Amino Acids

Amino acids, like lysine and methionine, are the building blocks of proteins, which form the structure of muscle, organs and many parts of the dog’s body. About half of the twenty or so amino acids are “essential” i.e. the dog’s body is unable to make them itself. Young dogs require protein to build the structures within the body and adults need it to maintain the function and maintenance of all their tissues. The “quality” of protein is important in dog food and meat, like chicken, is an excellent source of high quality protein with good amino acid profiles. If protein is deficient in the diet, or of poor quality, adult dogs will lose lean body tissue and immature dogs will exhibit decreased weight gain and impaired growth and development.

2.Minerals

Minerals are inorganic elements, e.g. calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for the body’s metabolic processes. Only about 4% of a dog’s total body weight comprises of mineral matter; however, like the vitamins the presence of these elements in dog food is essential for life. Not only do they provide skeletal support but they are also involved in a whole array of essential functions like nerve transmission and muscle function. To make matters even more complicated each mineral interrelates with the others in absorption, metabolism and function. When puppies and young dogs are growing rapidly it is therefore absolutely essential that this balance of minerals is correct for early bone and tissue development and organ function.

3.Vitamins

Vitamins are organic molecules that are needed in minute amounts but are essential for the body’s metabolic processes and therefore they must be provided in the dog’s food. They are divided into two groups – the fat soluble vitamins e.g. Vitamin A, and the water soluble vitamins e.g. Vitamin C. VetSpec Puppy & Junior Formula provides all the protein, vitamins and minerals that young dogs need for optimum development. Puppies should be fed 3-4 times per day and fresh drinking water should always be available.
