The Great Big Dog Food Myth:
Why a Healthy Diet Does Not Always Equal a Healthy Dog
The fact that you’re reading this article is a good indication that you’re a dog owner who cares about your dog’s health.
There’s probably even a good chance you pay extra for your dog food to feed your furry best friend something a little more nutritious.
But what if all that expensive dog food isn’t enough on its own to make your dog the healthiest they can be?
What if your dog needs an entirely different kind of nourishment to improve their well-being and prevent the canine health issues that are prevalent today?
(We’re talking about issues like unexplained pain, recurrent allergies, stiff joints, digestive issues, and more.)
Most considerate pet owners, like you, look for a healthy brand of dog food to keep these issues at bay…
But what if your dog also needs something else?
It’s a common misconception that all you need to do is buy your dog expensive food to keep them healthy.
For one thing, the companies that manufacture this food pay a lot of money for marketing to make us think this way.
But the truth is…
Most Dogs, at least in America, Are Already Eating a Balanced and Nutritionally Complete Diet
There are plenty of people in the world who are deficient in vital vitamins and minerals. It might be because they’re unable to afford healthy food, or maybe they just exist on fast food and takeout for every meal.
Here’s the thing: that doesn’t apply to your dog.
Dogs don’t have the option of eating fast food. They eat what you give them. And for the vast majority of people, that means they eat some form of dry kibble or canned wet food that is specifically manufactured to contain all the essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your dog needs.
In other words, your dog doesn't need any additional nutrition. It’s important to realize that more vitamins are not necessarily better.
Any living creature—whether it’s a human or a canine—needs to consume important nutrients in a certain range. If we get too little, we’re deficient, and our bodies aren’t as healthy as they could be. But if we get too much, that’s just as bad.
In fact, overdosing on some vitamins (like vitamin A) can actually be quite harmful.
Want more proof that your dog’s diet may not be the source of their health problems? Consider this:
Even Though the Quality of Dog Food Improves, Vet Visits & Prescriptions Are Skyrocketing
Dog food has become consistently better over the years. There’s no question about it.
Companies are facing stiffer competition and are constantly one-upping each other in an attempt to offer the “healthiest” dog food.
As a result, there are plenty of incredibly healthy dog food options on the market.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean our dogs are healthier than ever. In fact, the number of vet visits continues to grow by 3-5% per year, every year.
So if our dogs are eating better food, why are they going to the vet more?
One of the most common causes lies with another health issue—one that many people are completely unaware of…
Inflammation Lies at the Root of Many Canine Health Issues
More and more studies are discovering that harmful inflammation is one of the biggest culprits in most health issues for dogs.
Inflammation isn’t necessarily bad. If your dog gets a cut on their paw and it gets inflamed, that’s healthy and expected. In that case, the inflammatory response is helping to attack bacteria and heal damaged tissue.
The problem is when your dog has low-grade inflammation that lasts for days, weeks, months, or even years on end.
This sort of inflammation can wreak havoc with your dog’s health in so many ways, leading to digestive issues, allergies and other autoimmune problems, stiff and painful joints, and much more.
The Little-Known Secret to Managing Inflammation in Dogs
So if your dog probably has some degree of harmful inflammation, what can you do about it?
One of the best approaches for inflammation is one you’ve probably never heard of before—yet it’s been used to effectively treat sick and stressed-out animals for over 40 years. It’s also backed up by over 300 university studies.
It started in the 1980s at Iowa State University where trials were done to try to save the lives of dying piglets. It’s incredibly stressful for a piglet to be weaned and taken away from their mother, and many died from the stress.
So researchers did something revolutionary—something that would change the way farm animals were cared for…and the way we thought about food and diet…forever.
They started adding spray-dried blood plasma into the piglet’s diet.
This had a profound and lasting effect on the piglet’s health. Instead of losing many pigs, they hardly lost any. And a revolution was born.
Since then, the same process has been used to save the lives and improve the health of countless animals, including dairy calves, lambs, kids, goats, fish, horses, and more.
It’s a method that’s still in use today in farms all across the world.
Now, we don’t expect you to start mixing your dog food with spray-dried blood plasma. But it turns out you don’t have to—because these days, you can get specialty dog chews that are infused with the same inflammation-fighting blood plasma.
The benefit to your dog is the same, and it’s as convenient as giving your dog a tasty treat.
Here at WINPRO, we’re one of the few brands that’s able to offer this innovative health approach for dogs.
Check out our line of delicious, affordable, and incredibly effective plasma-powered soft chews:
Bonus Tip... Remember That Healthy Dog Food You Keep Buying?
A brand-new study from the Journal of Animal Science found that when you add plasma to the diet, it improves basically every health marker in the gut—including the ability to digest and absorb crucial nutrients.
Right now, your dog might not even be absorbing all the nutrients from that healthy dog food you’re buying. But when you fortify your dog’s diet with a few WINPRO Plasma Dog Chews, your dog will be much better able to actually absorb those vitamins & minerals.
It’s no wonder why thousands of concerned and responsible dog owners like you trust WINPRO Plasma Chews to keep your dog healthy:
