Beneficial for nerve functions

If an ingredient in dog food is described as "beneficial for nerve function", it means that it contains ingredients that can have a positive effect on your dog's nervous system. The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord and all the nerves that run through the body. It is responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body, controlling movement, responses to environmental stimuli and many basic bodily functions.

Ingredients that support nerve function can contain a variety of nutrients, including

  • Omega-3 fatty acids: These essential fatty acids, especially DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and their role in building cell membranes in the brain.
  • B vitamins: Vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 and B12 in particular are important for nerve function. They help with nerve impulse transmission and can promote brain health.
  • Antioxidants: Vitamins E and C as well as certain plant substances can act as antioxidants that protect nerve cells from damage caused by free radicals.
  • Amino acids: Certain amino acids, such as taurine, play a role in the transmission of nerve signals and can support brain function.

These nutrients can help keep your dog's nervous system healthy, which can contribute to better learning ability, memory, and overall well-being. They can also help to slow down signs of ageing of the nervous system and are particularly beneficial for dogs with nerve-related conditions or older dogs.
