Naturopathy

When the term "naturopathic" is used for an ingredient in dog nutrition, it usually means that this ingredient comes from natural sources and is often used with the aim of supporting the dog's health in a natural way. Naturopathic ingredients can be herbs, plant extracts, natural oils or other natural substances that are traditionally known for their health benefits.

These ingredients are often chosen because they may have specific health benefits, such as promoting healthy digestion, supporting the immune system, improving skin and coat health, or relieving inflammation.

It's important to note that the effectiveness and safety of naturopathic ingredients for dogs can vary. Not everything that is natural is automatically safe or suitable for every dog. In addition, naturopathic ingredients do not necessarily replace conventional medical treatment, especially for serious health problems.
