Trace elements for dogs and cats

What is trace element therapy for animals? Trace elements are minerals present in very small amounts in the body, yet essential for it to work properly. They are found naturally in a varied, good-quality diet, in dogs as in cats.

Stress, a sedentary lifestyle, pollution or an overly processed diet can disturb this natural balance, just as in humans.

Some trace elements and their general role in animals:

• Copper — contributes to the body's natural defenses
• Manganese — supports joint comfort and the skin
• Zinc — involved in the quality of the coat and skin
• Magnesium — supports everyday comfort, especially in older animals
• Cobalt — contributes to general vitality
• Selenium — a natural antioxidant

These elements are often used together rather than individually, because the body's balance depends on several factors at once.
