NEWS

Tasty Treat or Hidden Hazard?

Doctors say it. Nutritionists and dieticians say it. Books have been written about it. You may even have said it yourself.

It holds true for ourselves and our pets alike.

You are what you eat (even your treats)

We put lots of thought into what goes into our pet’s bowls, but how much time is spent on choosing treats?

It’s not unusual to expect that a battle with weight can be won with a change of food. But what about the treats we feed? Read more…

Blue Buffalo Settles Lawsuit

Blue Buffalo has agreed to settle a consumer class action lawsuit that accused the company of false labeling practices. The lawsuit was filed when tests showed that some of the company’s formulas contained poultry by-products and grain.

The $32 million dollar settlement means reimbursement of up to $200 for consumers. Read more…

NEW ITEMS

K-10+ Calming Aids

K-10+ may seem an odd name, but the company offers an interesting line of supplements which include Joint, Digestive, Dental and Calming aids.

We’re pleased to now stock their line of Calming products in various forms. These non-drowsy, natural supplements can help in stressful situations to reduce separation anxiety, nervousness, and hyperactivity.

Calming Bars– Individually wrapped for freshness and convenience, these bars contain no grain, gluten, by-products, artificial colors or flavors. Made with fast acting dissolving strips containing Colostrum Calming Complex, calming amino acids, chamomile, and vitamins. Box of 5 bars- $19.75

Calming Chews– Convenient bite-sized chews made with yogurt and natural chicken flavor for a quick treat or dose. These chews are made with mini dissolving strips containing the same active ingredients as the bars.  4 oz. package contains 30 chews- $19.75

Calming Water Additive– We’re not usually a fan of water additives for supplements since it can often be wasteful. The K-10+ Calming Water Additive ensures adequate dosage since its active ingredients are more easily absorbed and utilized than with bars and chews. The company claims the water additive is up to 9 times more effective than the solid forms.  28 individual packets- $23.75

Other K-10+ supplements are available by special request. You can get more info about their line at the K-10+ website.
