Magnesium for dogs

Your pooch needs this mineral for almost all his bodily functions including his moods.
If he gets enough of it every day, he should live a healthy happy life showing you nothing but love.
Magnesium in dogs is involved directly with muscle health. The strength and energy your pooch channels each day is because he has enough of this mineral in him.
Magnesium aids in contracting and relaxing of muscles as well as muscle regeneration.
Secondly, magnesium is also important for organ health and functioning.
Your dog’s heart, liver, and digestive tract need enough minerals to function optimally.
Moreover, the presence of magnesium in the body assists in the absorption of minerals like potassium, zinc, and calcium.
Thirdly, magnesium plays an important role in your dog’s mental and emotional well-being.
Health experts have discovered that this mineral has a calming effect when it is abundant in the body. This makes magnesium a perfect remedy for dogs that frequently get anxious or agitated.
Lastly, magnesium combines with mineral-like calcium to ensure your dog has strong bones and teeth.
Treatment of Magnesium Deficiency in Dogs
A number of conditions can lead to low magnesium, such as diabetes, kidney damage or treatment with drugs that stress the kidneys, and diseases that hinder nutrient absorption like IBD. If these are well-controlled, it is unlikely a magnesium deficit will appear. If it does, this could indicate the pre-existing condition needs further treatment.
Treatment for magnesium deficiency alone is simple- giving the animal chewable or (in more severe cases) IV magnesium supplements is usually all that is needed to correct the condition. In cases such as malnutrition where the deficiency has persisted for some time, correction of the associated electrolytes may be needed as well, particularly potassium and calcium.
