— By Dr. Henri Bianucci, Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeon
“Prevention starts in the bowl. What your dog eats every day helps shape the health they carry for a lifetime.”
Why Everyday Wellness Matters
As a veterinary surgeon, I’ve treated many dogs for a range of conditions. Over the years, I’ve seen how consistent, proactive care—including thoughtful nutrition—can play a key role in supporting long-term health.
We often think of health in terms of fixing problems, but wellness begins long before those problems arise. Nutrition is one of the daily habits that can help maintain balance in your dog’s body.
How Nutrition Supports the Body
Good nutrition goes beyond calories. It fuels the systems that help dogs stay vibrant and active. For example, the right dietary components may support:
-
Natural immune responses
-
Healthy inflammatory balance
-
Cellular integrity
-
The body’s ability to respond to environmental stressors
Exploring Wellness-Forward Ingredients
When I formulated The Vet’s Dog chews, I selected ingredients that reflect both traditional use and emerging research. These plant-based compounds are part of our philosophy of proactive wellness.
-
Turkey Tail Mushroom – Contains naturally occurring polysaccharides studied for immune and cellular support.
-
Broccoli Sprouts – A source of sulforaphane, which supports the body’s natural detox processes.
-
Barley Grass – Nutrient-dense and high in chlorophyll and antioxidants.
-
Turmeric (Curcumin) – Known for its vibrant plant compounds, traditionally used in wellness routines.
These ingredients are not intended to treat or prevent disease but can complement a balanced daily routine.
Small Habits That Add Up
In addition to nutrition and supplementation, you can support your dog’s overall health by:
✅ Feeding high-quality, minimally processed food
✅ Maintaining a healthy weight
✅ Providing daily movement and play
✅ Reducing exposure to household chemicals
✅ Encouraging rest, routine, and engagement
Final Thoughts
True wellness is built day by day. With consistent care and smart choices, we can help our dogs live more comfortable, joyful lives.
Always consult your veterinarian before starting any new supplement or making major changes to your dog’s diet or routine.
