Nutritional needs of individual dogs
vary based on factors such as size,
weight, age, and the amount and type of
food the dog eats. We based our formula
on the nutrient requirements of a
healthy, medium size, adult dog. For
such a dog, we recommend up to 4.75 fl.
oz. of Dog-Wa a day as a safe and
reasonable allowance of natural, leafy
greens. Always be sure to dilute with at
least 2 parts plain, fresh water to 1
part Dog-Wa. For a medium size adult
dog, that means you would serve about 10
oz. or more of water to 4.75 oz. of Dog-Wa.
Because Dog-Wa supplies leafy greens as
fluid extracts in Purified Water, your
dog will naturally regulate her intake
of greens by regulating her intake of
Dog-Wa. (In other words, the amount of
leafy greens will vary with the amount
of Dog-Wa your dog drinks - a small dog
may drink less than a litre a day, a
very large dog may drink up to 2 litres
a day, etc.)
It is important to provide sufficient
amounts of necessary vitamins, minerals,
anti-oxidants, and micronutrients to
keep your bestest friend healthy. But it
is just as important not to provide too
many, since an overabundance of vitamins
– even necessary vitamins – can be
deleterious to the health of your pet.
That is one key reason why Dog-Wa
contains safe, fluid extracts of
natural, leafy greens, rather than a
compound of vitamin and mineral
supplements.
You may have heard of “vitamin toxicity”
when too many vitamin supplements are
ingested, but did you ever hear of
eating too many fresh, leafy greens?
The first time you give Dog-Wa, be sure
to monitor your dog to ensure she is
drinking enough water. That should be no
problem, since most dogs love the
natural, Herbal flavor of Dog-Wa; but
dogs are also creatures of habit and
some are adverse to change of any kind.
If your dog is picky, you may consider
further dilution with plain, fresh
water.
Our trials have shown that 5 out of 6
dogs love Dog-Wa right off the bat. (The
other one could take it or leave it, but
then some dogs just don’t know what’s
good for them!)
