This is a sponsored post, however all views expressed are my own One member of the family truly is always ‘there’ for you. You know, the one who runs to meet you at the door when you get home? The one who wants to play, exercise, and sleep next to you no matter how their day has gone?
They’ll do just about anything to make you happy. You know who we’re talking about, right? Your dog!
That furry family member who offers you unconditional love every day of the week, and who you love back just as much, if not more.
Did you know that 83% of dog owners consider their pet a member of the family? That figure is not surprising. I know it’s true in our family! Gracie comes with us everywhere, is listed on our answering machine and even has her own stocking at Christmas. She is definitely the fifth member in our family!
Despite all this love we bestow on man’s best friend, are we really paying attention to what we feed them? Table scraps? Food that the baby has thrown on the floor? Cheap no-name dog food from the grocery store?
We spend countless hours worrying about what our children eat. Did they get enough fruits and vegetables? Do the have a well-balanced meal? Are they eating trans fats and dyes? If our dog is a family member, why don’t we pay attention to this, too?
Wellness Pet Food has made sure we don’t have to think about these things. We know that our dogs will be getting everything they need (and not getting what they don’t need!). Did you know that a diet formulated with wholesome, natural ingredients could help your dog live a longer, healthier life, but that most dog foods aren’t made up of natural ingredients? As a leader in natural pet food, Wellness uses natural, high-quality proteins and fats in their dog food recipes. They also include fruits and vegetables for natural vitamins, minerals and other benefits, especially antioxidants that occur in blueberries, cranberries and some vegetables, which help make their dog food products some of the healthiest options in the marketplace.
Wellness recipes do not include added artificial colours, flavours or ingredients, and they’ve even created a helpful “Check Your Bag” website that you can use to compare their natural dog food to those from some competitors who claim to be natural.
Some of the biggest benefits to Wellness® Complete Health® Recipes include:
• Live Active Probiotics – Added after the cooking process to promote a healthy intestinal tract and overall digestive health at guaranteed levels
• Omega 3 & 6 Mix – Offering guaranteed levels of essential fatty acids for cellular function and healthy skin
• Essential Vitamins & Minerals – Designed for cellular health, immunity and disease resistance
• Fruit & Veggie Antioxidants – A proactive step in improving your pet’s nutrition
• Excellent Nutritional Standards – Every batch of dry food is tested throughout the entire manufacturing process, from its basic ingredients to the finished products But you don’t have to take my word for it.
I once interviewed our local Animal Control Officer about dog behavioural issues. She said that if you are having problems with your dog, look at its diet. “Not all food agrees with all dogs, just like with people.” Some dog food is higher in artificial ingredients or sugar which might cause the dog to become hyperactive or aggressive.
She told me about one family that had a dog for seven years which constantly destroyed the house. They were ready to put the dog down. However, after changing its dog food, they called her after 24 hours saying it was now a completely different dog. The Animal Control Officer recommended that if you are going to try changing dog food, substitute in some of the new food each time over several days, so as to avoid digestion problems for the dog.
Some dogs have allergies. For example, my parents’ German shepherd is allergic to corn and when she eats dog food with corn, she becomes very itchy. Wellness has no corn, soy or wheat, so I am going to recommend this for Tate! While Wellness might not be as widely-known as some of the more mainstream brands of dog food, their devotion to quality and natural, high-quality ingredients makes their food safe, wholesome and beneficial to pets’ health and wellbeing.
To pick up a bag of some of this high-quality, natural dog food, you can order it online or stop by one of the retail locations listed in the Wellness Store Locator.
