Local Bee Pollen And How It Can Help Your Dog
It's no secret that local bee pollen can improve immunity to allergies, but that's not even scratching the surface of what bee pollen can do for your dog.
Made from the male seed of flowers, which is essential for the fertilization of the plant, bee pollen is what is fed to young bees, and is roughly forty percent protein. It is composed of an astonishingly high quantity of nutrients, containing nearly all the nutrients required by humans and animals alike, including all 22 essential amino acids. Essentially, bee pollen contains all the indispensable components of life and one can survive on bee pollen and water alone.
Along with helping with allergies, bee pollen can treat numerous aliments, from skin conditions to chronic pain. Regular usage of bee pollen can correct a deficient or unbalanced diet (not that your dog has to worry about that if he's eating Good Dog Food!), aids and improves healing, increases energy and vitality, helps maintain a healthy weight, extends longevity, regulates the intestines, and is even believed to have cancer-preventing properties.
Pollen gathered by bees contains large volumes of proteins, vitamins (including B-complex vitamins), folic acid, and free amino acids. Experiments done using bee pollen have shown that the pollen contains antibiotic factors that inhibit the growth of bacteria, meaning that not only will your dog's immune system get a boost from bee pollen to help fight off sickness, but he will have less of a chance of catching any illnesses to begin with.
Bee pollen can also improve your dog's looks by helping to keep skin and hair smooth, soft, and healthy. It promotes healthy cell growth and can rejuvenate the body, preventing premature aging and keeping your dog as healthy and active as when he was a puppy. It even improves stamina and mood, giving your dog exactly what he needs to be in the best mindset, even through stressful times.
As always, the quality of the product being used is a key factor. Most bee pollen on the market is imported from different countries and contains additives. Additionally, they are exposed to damaging heat to preserve them while they're shipped. This, unfortunately, destroys the enzymes and eliminates any health benefits the bee pollen might have offered. In order to be effective for allergies, bee pollen must be locally sourced. That's why the bee pollen sold at our store, The Dog House, is gathered from local wild flowers, is never exposed to harmful heat and is handled carefully to maintain their high concentrations of exquisite health benefits for your dog.
