CETYL M, AN AMAZING PRODUCT!

With old age come achy joint, stiffness and pain which can be debilitating. Arthritis is a degenerative disease causing inflammation of joints. It occurs when the lubrication and cartilage in one's joints is no longer sufficient to keep the joint moving smoothly, the bones may come into contact with each other and cause mild to excruciating pain.

As you know…. like humans, pets can also suffer from arthritis preventing them from walking and running normally. Arthritis can cause swelling, stiffness, pain and discomfort which leads to weakened mobility taking away your pets gusto for life. Older pets are much more prone to arthritis, but younger pets can also experience joint problems, making prevention even more important. Here are a few preventive steps and tips you can do at home to make your arthritic pet feel more comfortable and breathe life back into your furry friend.

1. Help Your Hound Shed Pounds-
If your pet is overweight or inactive then they have a higher risk of suffering from joint pain. Keeping your dog slim, trim and fit will help reduce the amount of stress extra weight can place on the joints, giving your pet some joint pain relief. So, cut back on your pet's treat intake, do away with the table scrap diet and switch to lower calorie senior pet food with less fat and more fiber. As many of you have heard us preach before, the caloric intake of your pet is critical. The average 65 pound dog, for instance, requires roughly 1450 calories per day. When eating one of our healthy kibbles this measures up to about 2 ½ to 3 cups of food per day, excluding, any treats! For example 3 biscuits can be equivalent to one cup of food.

2. Exercise is key!
Regular exercise helps keep arthritis under control. Taking your dog for a 20 minute brisk walk several times a day will work wonders. If your dog is unable to do a 20 minute walk, try shorter walks up and down a small incline/hill.

3. Let Them Sleep Indoors-
Cold and damp places can cause your pet's joints to hurt. So, make sure to bring your dog inside at night, and give him a warm, soft place to lay away from drafty doors and windows.

4. Make Feeding Time Easier-
Often times pets with arthritic stiff neck can have a difficult time eating. For more convenience, place your pet’s food and water bowls up off the floor so they don’t have to lower their head as much during mealtime. Consider a raised feeding bowl.

5. Lend Your Climbing Pet a Helping Paw -
Arthritic pets often have a hard time with mobility, making jumping up and down and climbing stairs quite a painful task. Installing a ramp will help assist your pet in getting around and help your pet maintain some independence.

6. Give Your dog Cetyl M-
The best thing to do for prevention is to give your pet an effective joint supplement that contains Cetyl M. Cetyl M is like WD 40 for their joints. Much like glucosamine has been proven effective in reducing inflammation and lessening your dogs joint pain, Cetyl M is DRAMATIC! All of our dogs take it and we have seen an incredible difference. We sell bottle after bottle with nothing but rave reviews for the product. If you have an older, or orthopedic dog give it a try. You will be glad you did.

AWARD WINNING & BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PET FOODS

“Cats and dogs evolved as hunters and despite a modern lifestyle, their digestive systems remain unchanged”.

A Biologically Appropriate diet is formulated to match the same balance of protein and fat from meat ingredients that cats and dogs would find hunting in the wild—while keeping in mind that a modern lifestyle of regular meals and less exercise means a reduced calorie requirement. The Biologically Appropriate concept is simple: in correct ratio and quantity, include the fresh, whole foods that nature evolved dogs and cats to eat while excluding ingredients like cereal grains that are not part of the natural diet.
The peak health of our companion cats and dogs depends upon the quality proteins and fats they derive from meats - not from carbohydrates and grains.

OPEN FOR ONE WEEK!

Hello Ben’s Friends!

We have been open for one week now and we can honestly say there has been an overwhelmingly positive response to the new location in the Nugget Plaza. Everyone has expressed their cheerful approval of the location, the store itself (although temporary), and the ample PARKING!

It’s been very gratifying to see all of the familiar and friendly faces, that we have come to know and spend time with in our previous location. We have also had the pleasure of meeting new customers as well. It is rewarding to share our knowledge and passion for keeping all cats and dogs as healthy as we possibly can through their proper nutrition.

There was a little confusion at first with the exact location. So as a reminder, we are at the east end of the center directly below the Sharp Bicycle sign in Suite 180. This is our temporary spot until our permanent Suite 120 is completed in the fall. Additionally, our new phone number is: (916) 797-DOGS (3647) just in case.

If you haven’t had the chance to stop by yet, please do. We look forward to seeing you soon!

After eight straight days of working until after midnight every day, and our only off day to attend our oldest son's wedding, we have opened our new store!

It was a tremendous amount of work, yet worth the effort. On our very first day every one of our customers that came by raved about the new location and the ease of the PARKING! We think you will agree.

We are at the east end of the shopping center between the Sharp Bicycle Shop and the Top this Yogurt Shop in Suite #180.

Thank you for your patience and now that we are fully operational we are looking forward to seeing you soon!
