Its All In the Hips

Have you noticed that your pooch is moving a little slower these days?  Has the simple act of getting up or climbing stairs become a bit of a process?  Stiff joints and arthritis pain affect so many of our pampered pups.  If your pooch is affected, talk to your vet about incorporating Hip Action Treats into their diet.  These treats are incredibly yummy – soft – and loaded with nutritious ingredients.  Each Hip Action Treats is chock full with 300 mg Glucosamine and 50 mg of Chondroitin to help promote joint mobility and ease arthritis pain.  However, these treats are not just for senior dogs the added daily dose of Glucosamine and Chondroitin are great for keeping hips and joints moving at maximum potential in younger dogs.  With delicious flavors like Peanut Butter and Beef what pooch could resist?

Amped Up Snacks

Just like people often times our pets are lacking in essential nutrients and vitamins they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle from birth through their senior years.  I don’t know about your pooch but Chloe is the World’s worst pill taker.  She does everything she can to avoid the pill and ultimately we end up with powder and pill dust all over the kitchen floor and an angry Chloe stomping off (sans pill of course).  Zukes is a Colorado based treat company that prides itself on their uses of healthy, wholesome, delicious ingredients all made and grown in the USA (with the exception of the New Zealand Lamb).  Aside from just producing scrumptious treats they also offer an “amped up” treat Power Bones, perfect for busy dogs.  

Power Bones give active dogs an extra boost of energy similar to an active human using an energy bar to reload!!  They are formulated with both simple and complex carbs to give your busy pooch a burst of immediate energy and a sustained increase in energy level.  The energy boost isn’t where the benefits end from Power Bones these treats are also formulated with fresh blueberries a powerful antioxidant, fresh carrots for healthy eyes, fresh apples to promote a healthy immune system, ground flaxseed for Omega-3 fatty acids and whole grains for necessary dietary fiber.  Power Bones are also free of wheat, corn, and soy three of the most common fillers and allergens to dogs.  

If your pooch has sampled Power Bones let us know what you think and don’t forget to tell us if your pooch prefers chicken, beef, or peanut butter!!

Treat Me Right

The New Year is upon us and many pets are resolving to eat and snack healthier in 2008.  We say just because you’re eating healthier you shouldn’t have to sacrifice flavor.  Our collection of Organic Biscuits by Robbie Dawg and Little Lulu are irresistibly scrumptious and incredibly nutritious to boot.  The biscuits are handmade in small batches in Brooklyn, NY and many of the delicious ingredients are sourced from the NYC Green Market to ensure maximum flavor and freshness.  With flavors like Turkey Sausage & Romano Cheese, Roasted Tomato and Mozzarella, Hickory Smoked BBQ Chicken, and Cheddar & Bacon biscuits going healthy never tasted this great before.

Cocktail Anyone

From cocktail parties to Friday night happy hour gatherings trendy pups are looking to “lap up” a taste the good life and now they can with the Bark-tini and Bark-a-Rita Gift Sets.  Each set includes a martini or margarita glass to take to their favorite watering hole – laminated cocktail napkin placemat – and an olive or lime toy respectively.  A great compliment is to purchase two and post them side-by-side for both food and water.  The height from the feeder also puts less strain on your pup’s neck and shoulders making mealtime more comfortable.

Holiday Party Animal

With the holidays in full swing your inbox and mailbox are certain to become flooded with invitations to friends, family, and co-workers holiday parties.  I know what you’re thinking…I can’t go empty handed and if I have to give one more bottle of wine (probably from the unwanted bounty you received from your own holiday party last year) you are just going to scream!!  Here’s the deal…You don’t have to spend a fortune to give a great – meaningful gift especially if the host/hostess has a pampered pooch!!  A holiday themed toy such as a Gingerbread Man or Snowman are classic yet festive and fun.  If you’re not feeling the toy vibe another great selection is a unique flavored dog treat such as Peanut Butter & Berry, Pumpkin Spice, or our favorite the Hickory BBQ Chicken biscuits.  They are very fresh and made with Organic ingredients making it a healthy and delicious gift.  Now when the invitations roll in you can look and party like a rockstar without spending all of your kibble!!
