Spleen

Spleen is packed with essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins (like B12), and minerals (like iron and zinc), which are vital for a dog's overall health and well-being. Protein is crucial for muscle development, repair, and overall body function in dogs. Spleen is a rich source of high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, organs, muscles, and cells in your dog's body. Protein also plays a vital role in the production of enzymes and hormones, as well as supporting your dog’s muscle strength, energy levels and immune system.  

 

Spleen contains various vitamins and minerals essential for your dog's immune system, metabolism, and overall health. These include vitamin B12 for energy metabolism, nerve function. Vitamin A is important for vision, skin health, and immune function. Additionally, spleen contains other B vitamins such as B6, niacin, riboflavin, and folate, which play roles in energy production, metabolism, and cell growth.  Spleen is a good source of minerals such as iron, zinc, selenium, and copper. Iron is necessary to produce haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, while zinc is involved in immune function, wound healing, and skin health. Selenium acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from damage, and copper is important for the formation of connective tissues, as well as enzyme function. 

 

Spleen has a naturally high moisture content, which can help keep your dog hydrated, especially if your dog isn’t drinking enough water. This contributes to maintaining proper bodily functions, including digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation.
