All animals require certain mineral elements to survive and thrive. These mineral elements include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulfur and trace amounts of other minerals like copper, zinc, manganese, selenium, iodine and cobalt. A balanced diet containing foods like meat, dairy products, eggs, legumes, nuts and leafy greens can help animals obtain these important mineral elements.
