I have been feeding a homemade diet for years to my pet without giving them any vitamins and minerals, and they don seem to have any problems. Why should I start giving Balance IT® supplements?
Most likely your pet has been conserving essential nutrients as much as possible over the years, but there may already be problems that have developed. Thinning of the bones or osteopenia can occur and can be difficult to notice unless you see your veterinarian and they take an x-ray or radiograph or, worse, your pet breaks a bone. Other nutrient deficiencies are much harder to test for and typically won’t show up on routine blood work and won’t be obvious until a severe problem develops. The typical way potential deficiencies are evaluated for is by analyzing the pet’s diet, which can be performed by using the professional version of Balance IT® available to veterinarians and veterinary specialists. Surprisingly, many diets that “seem” alright are grossly deficient in numerous essential vitamins and minerals.
