FORMULATION
balanced for
BIOEFFICACY
Vitamins and minerals are small components that
play integral roles in the big picture of pet nutrition.

Complete and balanced pet foods are the reason pet
owners are able to feed their dogs and cats the same food
day in and day out and see consistent results in their
health and overall well-being. Although vitamins and
minerals are micronutrients, meaning they are supplemented in companion animal diets in small quantities,
they play leading roles in a wide range of metabolic and
immune functions that keep pets healthy and happy.
Pet food manufacturers must understand the form,
source and concentration needed for each vitamin and
mineral to optimize bioefficacy of the nutrient and stability of the overall product. "Vitamins and minerals in
companion animal diets must be formulated appropriately as too much can cause toxicity and too little can
lead to deficiencies," says Stephanie Clark, Ph.D., CVT,
manager of research and development at BSM Clinical
Nutrition Services, Mandeville, Louisiana.
Trace minerals
Macrominerals, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium, are what Dana Tomlinson,
Ph.D., research nutritionist and global species leader, at
Zinpro Performance Minerals, Eden Prairie, Minnesota,
describes as the "big picture minerals." These are
the building blocks that contribute to developing
bone, muscle and tissue, as well as maintaining energy
levels. Trace minerals, on the other hand, are required
in milligrams and act as the glue that keep a pet's
Trace minerals and
vitamins play important
roles in bone and joint
development, antioxidation, immune system
health and other basic
functions, making them
a necessity in puppy
and kitten diets for
building a durable
foundation of health
and wellness.
