Seasonal Change: Preparing Dogs and Cats for Spring with the Right Nutrition
The change of season brings with it significant climatic and environmental variations, which can also affect the health and well-being of dogs and cats.
It is therefore important to support their immune system, preparing their bodies to face the new climatic conditions in the best possible way.
A proper diet, rich in specific nutrients, can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth transition into spring.
During this time of year, spirulina algae, pomegranate, citrus fruits, and durum wheat germ are excellent allies.
Spirulina algae: a boost for the immune system
Spirulina algae is a superfood with extraordinary nutritional properties, being rich in antioxidants, vitamins (such as B vitamins), and essential minerals.
It’s fantastic for strengthening the body’s natural defenses, protecting it from damage caused by free radicals, which can increase during seasonal changes.
Moreover, spirulina fortifies their natural defenses, promoting overall well-being and helping to maintain vitality and energy.
For this reason, it is particularly useful during seasonal transitions, when the immune system can be put to the test.
Pomegranate and citrus fruits: sources of vitamins and antioxidants
Pomegranate is a valuable fruit, rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols, which help protect cells from oxidative damage and fight cellular aging.
Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are an excellent source of vitamin C, an essential nutrient to support the immune system and protect the body from infections.
These ingredients provide crucial support during seasonal transitions, contributing significantly to the overall well-being of pets.
Durum wheat germ: energy and vitality
Durum wheat germ is a concentrated source of important nutrients such as B vitamins (essential for energy metabolism), vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant), and essential fatty acids (important for skin and coat health in pets).
It primarily provides long-lasting energy and supports healthy, strong, and shiny skin and coat, contributing to the animal’s general well-being through its comprehensive nutritional profile.

Naxos monoprotein sterilight blue fish and pomegranate: ideal for sterilized dogs

This monoprotein food contains blue fish as the only protein source—a lean, highly digestible protein—and is enriched with pomegranate, a fruit known for its remarkable antioxidant properties.

The importance of nutrition in facing seasonal changes
