Supports emotional well-being

When the term "supports emotional well-being" is used in dog nutrition, it means that certain ingredients or the food as a whole can help to promote your dog's mental balance and emotional stability. Here are some aspects that can contribute to this:

  1. Essential fatty acids: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids support brain function and can help with stress management. Fish oil is a common source of these fatty acids.
  2. Amino acids: Certain amino acids such as tryptophan are precursors to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and well-being.
  3. Vitamins and minerals: B vitamins, magnesium and zinc are important for the nervous system and can help reduce stress and anxiety.
  4. Probiotics: Healthy gut flora is closely linked to overall wellbeing, including emotional state. Probiotic supplements can therefore also support your dog's emotional well-being.
  5. Antioxidants: These can help minimize the negative effects of stress on the body.
  6. General nutrition: A balanced diet that provides all the necessary nutrients will help your dog feel healthy and well overall, which will also have a positive effect on their emotional well-being.

The right diet can therefore not only promote your dog's physical health, but also their emotional balance.
