For the last 10 years, the word antioxidant has become part of our vernacular. Pet Antioxidants are widely recognized as one of the most important weapons in the battle against pet disease. All the physiological processes in pets and people require oxygen, which provides us with energy.
How Antioxidants Benefit Pets Health
Unfortunately the byproducts of burning oxygen, which are similar to the sparks given off by a fire, are also produced in your pet’s body. These little sparks are commonly known as free radicals, and are the major cause of aging and degenerative disease in both people and pets.
Dogs & Antioxidants: What are Pet Antioxidants?
Pet Antioxidants are the vitamins, minerals and enzymes that play a vital role in preventing the onset of chronic pet diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia and canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (Alzheimer’s disease) along with arthritis, allergies and cataracts in dogs and cats
.
Your pet’s body undergoes oxidative stress when the capability of these antioxidants is overwhelmed by the number of free radicals being produced. Free radicals are continually formed in the body as part of normal biological processes, but other factors can contribute to an overload, such as pesticides, antibiotics, cigarette smoke, pollution, alcohol and foods that are fried at high temperatures or burnt.
