Vitamin and trace mineral deficiencies can occur in all greyhound diets, making supplementation essential in order to ensure maximum body function and optimum athletic efficiency, growth and reproduction. Pregnant and growing animals in particular may also be exposed to deficiencies. 

Greyhounds in training require  supplementary Vitamins and trace minerals in their diet in order to meet the increased demands of strenuous work. Vitamin and trace mineral deficiencies can play absolute havoc with your greyhound's overall body function, directly affecting their ability to perform at an optimum level. Prevention is always better than a cure. Your answer is to feed 5g of Ranvet VitaMax daily. Because Ranvet VitaMax is a premium grade supplement, ORGANIC trace minerals are included in the formulation.

Vitamin A: one of 10 Vitamins in the formulation.
Vitamin A is essential for all growth processes. It is important for vision and visual pigments within the retina. It is needed for bone remodelling in growing greyhounds, tendon strength and for healthy skin and mucus membranes. A deficiency of Vitamin A can cause poor night vision, breathing difficulties, loss of appetite, poor conception rates in older dogs, poor growth, reduced tendon strength and leg bone weaknesses. 


Vitamin D
Greyhounds kennelled for extended periods, receiving little or no natural sunlight, require
supplementation with Vitamin D. A deficiency of Vitamin D depresses Calcium uptake, which leads to stiffness, lameness, weak bones and swollen joints.


Vitamin E
Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant and preserves the structural integrity of the cells. It is used successfully in the treatment of exercise induced tissue damage and muscle soreness in the high performance greyhound. It is also used to treat lowered breeding performance in both dogs and bitches.
