YOUR SPECIAL OFFER
Get a free can of FirstMate’s limited ingredient Wild Tuna
Last month we announced the arrival of the new FirstMate limited ingredient dog and cat food cans. These grain-free foods share the same healthy formula for both dogs and cats.
Ask for a 5.5 oz can to be included at no charge with your next order if you’d like to pass along a special treat to your dog or cat. The label says cat food, but the only difference between this and the dog formula is the size of the can! It’s your subscriber offer for October.

One of the most common ingredients found in popular joint supplements today is glucosamine.
There are many glucosamine-based supplements available, although there are now far more options to consider. Want a supplement with a single form of glucosamine, or do you prefer more active ingredients? Just about any combination of joint aids are available if you know what you’re after.
Have you heard about the Dog Aging Project at UW?
