Your pet's immune system is the key to its health! Here's why:
It’s your job to feed and nourish it, and make sure it operates at optimal levels to fight disease and cancers. In today’s world, viruses and diseases are rampant, and it can be challenging to protect your pet.
Let’s face it: your pet lives in a world filled with contamination.
They spend 90% of their waking hours on the floor, mopping up toxins, chemicals, and pollutants.
The household cleaning products, fertilizer on the lawn, and preservatives in their foods can be harmful. Bacteria, airborne contaminants, and viruses transmitted by humans can challenge their health.
Most pets do not eat an optimal diet, and likely do not get as much exercise as they require.
What do you do?
You need to put your pet’s immune system in overdrive! Research shows that a well-balanced and functional immune system is essential to your pet’s overall health and well-being.
"The immune system acts like a nonstop housekeeper", describes Dr. Donna Raditic, an American College of Veterinary Nutrition (ACVN) diplomate in Athens, Georgia.
It identifies potentially harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, then works to eliminate them before they can do harm.
And a pet's immune system monitors cells to ensure they’re working properly.
“When other cells are aging or functioning abnormally—such as a cancer cell reproducing too rapidly—the immune system attempts to step in and maintain proper physiological function and balance,” Dr. Raditic explains.
