Extra tomorrows

Recent medical treatment advancements and nutritional product improvements, are allowing our four legged family members to live well -- longer. While every dog needs all our love and attention, senior pups have special needs.

Regular exercise, even if it is less exuberant, is a must as activity can postpone or diminish the effects of many maladies that can impact their golden years. We all need to watch our weight and that goes for our dogs as well. If they are healthy, keeping their protein levels up will maintain their muscle mass and help support their joints as quality chicken meal contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Feeding them smaller portions two or three times a day will reduce digestive stress and level off their blood-sugar levels defending them against diabetes and pancreatitis.

Maintaining their immune systems will give them extra tomorrows. Supplementing their diets with a vitamin, mineral and antioxidant mix that includes Omega 3 fatty acids will do the same for them and it does for us and from my point of view, they deserve all the care we can give them -- and I include my puppies in all of this – an ounce of prevention and all that. After all, they are family. Speaking of family, regular check-ups with your vet are must do’s.

Wellness is a mission.  Working at it will assure you of their tomorrows.

In celebration of a strong heart

While Valentines’ Day comes but once a year, I celebrate the love I share with my dogs everyday. Some years ago when I discovered that millions of dogs are susceptible to a variety of heart conditions, and millions more are all ready afflicted with conditions that will impact their quality of life and lifespan, I was determined to make a difference.

As might be expected it has taken years to find a natural intervention that could allow dogs to live better and live longer, but my amino acid supplemented heart-healthy Grrr-nola Natural and Bow Wow Breakfast dog foods are coming to the nation’s retailers.

The sweetest Valentines' is a strong and healthy loving heart.

GRRR-NOLA Natural Dog Food Bars: A market first

We are very excited with our unique natural food bar entry into the pet snack and food category. Providing dog owners with a great tasting snack that is also a natural and heart-healthy meal in a uniquely convenient bar will open opportunities for the All American Pet and its investors that only market moving innovations can provide… this was the case with Kellog’s introduction of its first consumer food bar which became a billion dollar business.

As a convenience item we see the Grrr-Nola Natural food bar on the shelves of the nation’s 37,700 drug stores where pet products posted a 67 percent increase from the year previous. Of the eleven categories showing the strongest growth in drug stores, eight were foods.

Add to those chain store numbers the 138,205 convenience stores, the supermarkets and big box retailers and AAPCO will have a ubiquitous retail presence allowing it to extend its initial bar brand introduction to its Chompions, Fido Flakes and Chewa-Bunga brand line extensions.

Life is too short to not live it as well as we can and that goes double for my dogs.
