All of our dogs are rescues and it took a long time to undo the effects and damage suffered from their prior lives. What we made sure to do was boost them with nutrients and vitamins which we did in everyway possible -- in their food, in their water, and in their treats. Powdered supplementation is great sneaky way to make sure that they are taking in fortified minerals to build their bodies, regrow their fur, and repair any internal damage.
I promise you, this stuff is magic. I have a border collie who was on the brink of death and euthanasia. No one wanted to adopt her from the shelter because she was covered in ick, was losing her fur in clumps, and was severely emaciated. My husband saved her life, and brought her home. After a long bath and blow dry, the first thing we did was give her a small bowl of wet food with a scoop of vitamin magic powder, which she gobbled up. Within weeks, her eyes brightened up, her fur started to grow in, and little by little, she put on some weight.
Today, she has a big beautiful border collie tail, is faster than the wind, and the happiest, most grateful dog. Along with unconditional love, toys, and kisses, it was making sure that every time she ate something it contained some form of supplementation. These powders are excellent to accomplish it. She has never spit it out or refused her food. She is regular in her poop schedule so I know this helps with digestion. She is a strong dog and the way she's grown tells me that we got her just in time to build her bones and continue with her development. Everyday we are proud that she chose to fight for her life and let us help her do it. Armed with vitamins and nutrients are must haves in your arsenal to make strong and happy dogs. We always always always have a tub of this stuff. And we always will.
