The problem
during the whole day is that, while your dog digests the food, he is chasing a ball around or, even when breathing, his body produces free radicals. This is inevitable, is a natural part of the metabolic process. The free radicals have an extra electron, which allows them to be added to healthy cells, thus causing a cell deterioration that could lead to negative effects in health. The Antioxidants, such as the ones included in Purina ONE® diets, catch free radicals, helping to maintain your dog’s immune system and the development of a healthy skin and fur coat.
How can it help your dog?
The Antioxidants help protecting your dog’s skin and coat, defending them against external threats. The Antioxidants work very hard within your dog so that they can help him develop a healthy immune system by catching the free radicals.
