Rich in minerals

When the term "rich in minerals" appears in a dog's diet, it means that the food contains a high concentration of important minerals. These minerals are essential for your dog's health and well-being. They play a central role in numerous bodily functions.

Some of the important minerals that play a role in dog nutrition are

  1. Calcium and phosphorus: these are important for strong bones and teeth. An appropriate ratio of these two minerals is crucial, especially for growing puppies.
  2. Potassium: Necessary for nerve function, muscle contraction and maintaining a healthy fluid balance.
  3. Magnesium: Important for metabolism and supporting nerve and muscle activity.
  4. Iron: Necessary for the formation of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen in the blood.
  5. Zinc: Important for skin and coat health, immune function and wound healing.

A food that is "rich in minerals" can help prevent deficiencies and support your dog's overall health. However, it is important that the food is balanced and contains the minerals in a ratio that is suitable for your dog's specific needs. Excessive amounts of some minerals can be just as harmful as a deficiency.
