7 studies on supplementary feed

The health of our dogs is important to us, and more and more dog owners are recognizing the importance of a balanced diet and targeted food supplements for the well-being of their four-legged friends.

Scientific studies have shown that certain supplements can not only help alleviate specific health problems, but can also be used preventively to improve quality of life and extend lifespan. From supporting joint health to promoting a strong immune system to improving heart function, the benefits of the right supplements are many.

  1. Omega-3 fatty acids improve skin and coat health in dogs. One of the most popular supplements for dogs is omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and promote skin and coat health. Omega-3 supplements can make a noticeable difference, especially for dogs who are prone to dry skin or skin allergies. Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids can relieve the symptoms of atopic dermatitis and improve general well-being. *1

    All Tradidog products are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are extracted from particularly high-quality linseed. Our linseed contains these valuable fatty acids, which we gently break down using a patented process. This means we achieve a particularly high omega-3 content and optimal bioavailability for your dog. This natural source is not only effective, but also easy to digest and supports the health of your four-legged friend in a sustainable way.

  2. Glucosamine and chondroitin support joint health and can reduce osteoarthritis symptoms. Joint health is another area where supplements can play an important role. Glucosamine and chondroitin are known for their positive effects on dogs with joint problems such as arthritis. These substances support cartilage formation and can reduce inflammation in the joints, improving your dog's mobility. Research shows that these supplements can improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis in dogs by reducing inflammation and slowing cartilage degradation. *2

    Our products contain a carefully selected blend of natural ingredients that strengthen the joints from within. Unlike isolated nutrients such as glucosamine and chondroitin, TradiDog offers a comprehensive supply that is tailored to the complex needs of the joints.

  3. Antioxidants such as vitamin E support the immune system and can slow down aging.
    Antioxidants such as vitamin E play an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This protection is especially important for older dogs, as oxidative stress is associated with aging and various degenerative diseases. Studies show that antioxidant supplementation can reduce oxidative stress in dogs, improving overall health.*3

    Supplementing with antioxidants can reduce the risk of age-related diseases and improve quality of life. Thanks to a special blend of herbs and high-quality melon powder, tradidog acts like a natural anti-aging elixir. The antioxidants it contains protect your dog's cells from free radicals, thus contributing to a longer life expectancy and a higher quality of life.

  4. Probiotics can promote intestinal health and the immune system of dogs. Probiotic supplements can help stabilize your dog's gut flora and boost the immune system. Dogs who receive probiotics regularly often show improved digestion and increased resistance to disease. One study found that probiotics can stabilize dogs' gut flora and improve the immune response. *4

    TradiDog has recognized this and offers products with the "Sensitive" and "Senior" variants that are specifically aimed at supporting digestion. The fiber and natural ingredients contained in the products promote healthy digestion and thus support your dog's immune system. Unlike probiotics, which can lose their effectiveness if stored improperly, TradiDog relies on postbiotics. These inactive bacterial components are stable and still offer all the benefits of a healthy intestinal flora. Studies have shown that postbiotics can improve intestinal health and strengthen the immune system without the same storage restrictions as probiotics. "

  5. L-carnitine may promote heart health in dogs, especially those with heart failure. Dogs, especially older animals or those with known heart problems, may benefit from supplementing with L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10. These nutrients support energy production in cells and promote heart health. Research shows that these supplements can improve heart function and increase the quality of life of dogs with heart failure. L-carnitine has been shown to improve cardiac function and increase the quality of life in dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy. *5

    TradiDog Senior is specifically tailored to the needs of older dogs. The carefully selected plants and herbs in our formula work synergistically to support heart health naturally. Polyphenols, which are abundant in these plants, play a key role in this. Similar to pharmacological agents, they support cellular functions and can help promote heart health. Through this unique combination, we offer a holistic solution for the special needs of older dogs.

  6. Green tea extract as an antioxidant may have anti-inflammatory and cancer-preventive effects in dogs. Green tea extract contains a variety of bioactive compounds, including polyphenols such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Research shows that the polyphenols in green tea may reduce oxidative stress and reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. *6

    Tradidog Senior and Sensitive are specially tailored to the needs of older and sensitive dogs. Both products contain valuable polyphenols that act as powerful antioxidants. These natural compounds protect cells from harmful free radicals and thus help to strengthen the immune system and ward off age-related diseases. Similar to pharmacological agents, they support the body's own defense mechanisms and can thus help prevent diseases.

  7. Curcumin (from turmeric) has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may be helpful for dogs with chronic inflammation or cancer. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric root, is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It works by blocking certain molecular pathways that cause inflammation in the body. In addition, curcumin has antioxidant effects that neutralize free radicals, preventing cell damage. Studies suggest that curcumin may inhibit tumor growth and promote overall health. *7

    Both TradiDog Sensitive and Senior contain carefully selected natural ingredients, including turmeric. Unlike isolated curcumin extract, we use the whole turmeric root combined with a specific amount of pepper. This combination increases the effect of the turmeric compounds many times over. This unique synergistic effect allows us to achieve an even stronger anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect that supports your dog's well-being. "
