Furry Friends and the 4th

The fireworks on the 4th (and 3rd of July in Palos Heights) are wonderful to watch, but for many pets it can be a rough time. We have two products I wanted to recommend that we think can really help pets to feel calmer during the holiday.

The first is Vital Planet Calm for Pets. They’re soft chews with relaxing supplements that are safe for pets that can help them to feel less stressed and anxious. The nice thing about these treats is that they don’t need to be used daily for them to be effective; they can be used as needed and can really make a difference.

Another long time favorite is our Green Gorilla CBD for Pets (in liquid or lamb dog treats). They’re best known for pain relief for older dogs, but just like how CBD can help with stress and anxiety in humans, it can also help pets to feel relaxed and less stressed.

Stop in the store before the 4th (we’ll be closed on Monday for the holiday) to pick something up for your pet that can help them get through what might be a stressful time for them.

Two Fantastic New Pet Supplement Lines: Vital Planet & NOW Pets

This month, I wanted to have a focus on natural pet supplements.  Many people don't think about supplements for pets, but there are specific supplements that can be especially beneficial for dogs and cats- supplements for joints and mobility, skin and coat health, and more.

We have two new pet lines available in the store, and I love them both!  The first is Vital Planet, a pet supplement brand that has extremely unique products.  Two of my favorites are probiotic supplements for dogs and cats.  Each has their own targeted variety, since they have very different digestive systems.  Similar to the benefits for humans, supplementing with a pet probiotic can aid in digestion, intestinal and bowel health, as well as supporting a healthy coat and immune system.  Pet probiotics can even help with better smelling “pet breath”.

Among their other great supplements for pets is a really impressive a joint formula, which is nice since aging pets can problem joints just like we do.  Their Hip and Joint Formula combines glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid for cartilage health as well as MSM for reducing inflammation.  They also have a Calm supplement which I’m fond of that can help anxious and “stressed out” pets.  It can even help with curbing destructive behaviors.

Best of all, all of Vital Planets pet products are “pet taste tested” so they’re good tasting, where pets actually like taking them (rather than pills that have to be hidden in a piece of cheese for a dog to even come near).

The second pet line I wanted to briefly mention is one by NOW Foods called NOW Pets.  They’re a brand new line of pet products formulated by Dr. Barbara Royal, a Chicago veterinarian and an internationally renowned pioneer in complementary medicine, combining both Eastern and Western medicine to make a line of pet supplements to be as natural and holistic as possible.

During the month of April, both our Vital Planet pet line and our NOW Pet supplement line will be on sale for 25% off. 

If you have pets, this is a great time to try these fantastic new products!
