YES and YES.
As a concerned dog owner, you should be avoiding as many ‘un-natural’ ingredients as possible. Here is what you should be looking for in a Quality, natural supplement:
1.In choosing a natural supplement, ensure that NONE of these are on the label: wheat, Soy, Dairy, Sugar, Artificial Ingredients, additives and fillers.
2.The ingredients should be derived from Natural Sources – if you can’t pronounce them, then they probably are NOT natural. Some of the more common Natural ingredients, include Vitamins, Minerals, Flax, Fish Oil, Amino Acids- plus both naturally derived animal and plant related components. This includes ingredients such as Herbs, Mushrooms, Colostrum, Glucosamine, and Digestive enzymes.
3.Ensure that the supplement is NATURALLY preserved. Vitamin E and being ‘air tight’ is the preservative of choice. AVOID BHA, BHT and Ethoxyquin.
4.Natural flavor and color- If the supplement is chemically flavored or colored DON’T use it.
