Our dogs health and wellbeing is of paramount importance and one main aspect of our dogs health is their musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments. In this blog post, we'll explore how incorporating Omega-3 essential fatty acids and herbs into your dog's diet can contribute to optimal musculoskeletal health.
Understanding your dogs musculoskeletal health

Whatever the true reasons for and nature of climate change, it seems we need to get used to the concept of warmer summers and milder winters.

Dog sunburn is especially common in areas with little to no fur, such as their nose, belly, around the mouth, eyelids and ears. Dogs can also sunburn through their fur; especially white or light-colored dogs with fair skin.

Have You Considered Using a Paw Balm for its Soothing and Protective Effects?
Paw Balm, if used regularly, will keep your pet’s pads in the best possible condition. It will also leave them less susceptible to damage from hard as well as cold and hot surfaces.
Healthy dogs have spongy and hydrated paws. In the summer the hot pavement can be incredibly hard on dogs’ paw pads and in the winter paws come into contact with elements such as ice, grit and salt, which can result in rough, irritated and cracked pads, causing possible discomfort.
