Which vitamins and nutrients can help reduce stress in dogs and to support the nervous system?
B-vitamins, in particular B1 (Thiamin), B6 (pyridoxin) and B12 (Cobalamin), are important for the health of the nervous system and can help with stress reactions. Magnesium can also have a calming effect on the nervous system and reduce stress reactions.
How can I ensure that my dog receives sufficient vitamins and nutrients for a healthy nervous system and for stress reduction?
A high quality dog food should contain most of the necessary nutrients. If you have concerns or if your dog is exposed to special stressful situations, special nutritional supplements or soothing additions can be helpful. However, it is advisable to obtain the advice of a veterinarian before the introduction of such additions to ensure that they are safe and suitable for their special dog.
