The blend contains spinach, which naturally contains small amounts of calcium oxalate. Dogs handle dietary oxalate well, but cats are more sensitive and may form oxalate crystals in the urinary tract. For that reason, Nutrients should not be given to cats, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMy dog does not like vegetables.

Nutrients supplies the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients commonly missing or reduced in meat-only raw meals. To more fully balance a raw diet, pair Nutrients with a whole-food calcium source such as ground eggshell or raw meaty bones - the combination brings raw closer to nutritional completeness.

Nutrients is safe for puppies at the appropriate dose for their weight. Growing dogs benefit significantly from whole-food micronutrients, especially if they are on kibble or processed food where heat and processing reduce vitamin and phytonutrient content.

Nutrients supplies the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients commonly missing or reduced in meat-only raw meals. To more fully balance a raw diet, pair Nutrients with a whole-food calcium source such as ground eggshell or raw meaty bones - the combination brings raw closer to nutritional completeness. Nutrients pairs with any other Herbsmith supplement without overlap or conflict, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCan puppies take Nutrients?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eYes. Nutrients is safe for puppies at the appropriate dose for their weight. Growing dogs benefit significantly from whole-food micronutrients, especially if they are on kibble or processed food where heat and processing reduce vitamin and phytonutrient content. Start at the low end of the dose range for their weight and adjust as they grow, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhen will I see results?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eNutrients works as a foundational layer, so benefits are cumulative rather than immediate. Most pet parents notice improvements in stool quality, coat condition, and energy within the first 4-8 weeks of daily consistent use. The real power is long-term nutritional reinforcement - supporting cellular health, antioxidant defense, and micronutrient sufficiency over time rather than producing a visible short-term effect, or as directed by your veterinarian.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
