Dog Food

Dog food ingredient lists on the packaging contain many items, and antioxidants are one important component. Generally, antioxidants in dog food ingredients are used to combat aging substances produced by the natural redox reactions in the body—oxygen free radicals.

Antioxidants and antioxidants agents are two different concepts. Antioxidant agents, also known as preservatives, are added to dog food to prevent spoilage. However, they themselves are carcinogenic, can cause liver enlargement, chromosomal abnormalities, and reduce fertility!

Regarding the "antioxidants" in dog food ingredients, scientific research believes that reactive oxygen species (such as oxygen free radicals) oxidize cells and cause body aging. To fight aging, we try to use other substances to bind with reactive oxygen. This is the so-called "antioxidants." The earliest antioxidants should be vitamin E.

Nowadays, various antioxidants appear on the market, but in fact, no experiment has proven the effects of these antioxidants. They are generally theoretically feasible but unproven in practice.

Regardless of antioxidants, when choosing dog food, we should select those of high quality and palatability, such as Purina Pro Plan puppy food. It has three main functions to comprehensively care for puppies, helping build a healthy body and promote growth. Carefully formulated calcium-phosphorus ratio supports rapid development of bones and teeth; newly improved formula contains unique natural antioxidants to enhance puppy immunity; selected high-quality natural ingredients aid digestion and help form healthy, well-shaped stools for your beloved dog.
