This is further supported by the immunoglobulins ingested from their mothers&#8217; milk. This gives them the ability to fight initial challenges from viruses, bacteria and foreign substances.<\/p>\n<p>However, this support is short, and they need to quickly develop their own immune system to fight further challenges. Puppies and kittens are particularly vulnerable during this immunity gap period and nutrition plays an important role in establishing their new defence mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagatay.com\/il\/our-nutrition-philosophy\/strong-immune-system\/#more-5709\" class=\"more-link elementor-more-link\"><span aria-label=\"Continue reading STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM\">(more&hellip;)<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As our pets enter the outside world they become exposed to a wide range of new threats of disease and infection.
