Modulation of immune response through nutraceutical interventions: implications for canine and feline health.

These interactions may be positive or negative depending on the compound or dose administered to the individual. Understanding the mechanisms by which these compounds work should provide opportunities to design nutritional interventions to bolster the health of dogs and cats.
