This is a popular superfood for athletic dogs. They may use it for energy and quick recovery.
Nearly half of the protein in Bee Pollen is made up of free-form amino acids which may be good for muscle building, and it contains quercetin. Research shows quercetin may function as a natural antihistamine.
Bee Pollen has been used for over 5000 years by Chinese, Greek, Aztec, Egyptian and North American First Nations people. It sometimes is identified as "Food of the Gods" due to its understanding by herbalists as a super food source. Just think, if Hippocrates (the father of medicine) included it in his diet, then how great will it be for your dog.
When introducing any new item to your dogs diet do so gradually. This is especially true with bee pollen granules. Begin with 1/2 of the current dosage listed for your dog’s weight for the first two days, if no adverse effects are found increase dosage to 3/4 of dosage for your dog’s weight for an additional two days. If still no adverse effects are found, continue with the full dose for your dog’s weight.
