SUPPLEMENT SUNDAY - AGILE JOINTS FROM PET WELLBEING REVIEW



Every morning I give him 3 to 5 drops of this stuff and he always LOVES it. He runs around like a little rascal  when I walk him and of course, I want him to be as healthy and happy like this, always. This product is really solid, made of good, natural ingredients.

Of course, the most important thing to prevent arthritis for human AND pets is keeping a really healthy weight. Once you've got that down, you can take things to the next level, do some conditioning with Agile Joints.

5/5

A little update on SPARK, his fur has never felt so incredibly soft! It looks shiny and feels almost velvety. His appetite is great as is his energy levels. I just put a little bit in every morning, and he loves the taste as well!

SUPPLEMENT SUNDAY - HEALTHY GUMS by Pet Wellbeing



Hello readers! Happy sunday, you know what time it is!! It's time for another update!



Healthy gums and overall good dental health promotes

  • Good resistance to oral infections
  • Less plaque build up
  • More pleasant breath
  • Soothing of the gums
  • Prevention of problems that result from gum inflammation

Although Leo is still fidgety when I apply this to his gums, He does also lick it up afterwards (which means that he likes the taste!)  I may have found a solution. 

What this product does is give him AMAZING breath. Truly a good breath refresher after those delicious salmon treats. 

I like to read through ingredient lists and found this one to be full of natural and herbal stuff, which I love. And did I mention it smells amazing? (I did. :P)

SUPPLEMENT SUNDAY - SPARK by Pet Wellbeing

Has it been another week already? Time is flying by these days! 

I just wanted to update on SPARK and let you know that Leo is still doing very well on it! 


Now that we have run out of yougurt for now, I have simply been mixing this all in one supplement with a little water and then putting his breakfast into the water! One thing about adding water to kibble though - Please read the ingredients and watch out for citric acid - If there is citric acid, there is a high chance of BLOAT for especially large dogs if you add water to it. Bloat is a painful condition in which dogs will need to go to the emergency since their stomachs can twist. 

Leo still loves this, and his poop and fur all look really nice. He has lots of energy and can take super long walks with me. He also sleeps very well. 

Here are just some of the benefits of SPARK 

  • Healthy bones, teeth and coat
  • Good digestion and nutrient absorption
  • Joint and muscle health
  • Immune system and normal recovery
  • Healthy hormone levels
  • Fighting free radical damage (anti-oxidant)
  • Important vitamins & minerals for growth, aging and normal cell repair

SUPPLEMENT SUNDAY - SPARK FROM PET WELLBEING REVIEW


Hello everyone! Welcome back to Supplement Sunday. Today, I'm going to review, SPARK, from Pet Wellbeing essentially a multivitamin and nutritional supplement for your pets (works for cats too)! 
Some of the benefits of SPARK are:
  • Healthy bones, teeth and coat
  • Good digestion and nutrient absorption
  • Joint and muscle health
  • Immune system and normal recovery
  • Healthy hormone levels
  • Fighting free radical damage (anti-oxidant)
  • Important vitamins & minerals for growth, aging and normal cell repair
The ones I am most interested in are - Immune system and good digestion. 
(Spoon not included haha)

5/5

SPARK is a dark green powder that reminds me of spirulina (which IS one of the ingredients). Click the ingredient list.I first tried gave it to him in powder form and he licked most of it up. I have also tried adding a little water and giving to him in a paste, which he liked as well. But what I enjoy most is putting a dollop of greek yougurt and this powder on top, before his breakfast.

I have noticed that his poops look more Ahem, "well rounded" and more structured with SPARK and he seems to have more energy as well. Especially for allergy season like now, I think it's absolutely vital for him to keep his immune system strong. His coat also feels soft. 

Raw feeding is all the rage right now. I personally am not doing raw feeding just yet BUT I do feed him an variety of stuff (raw bones, vegetables) so there is definitely a possibility that his diet is unbalanced, so this supplement is a great add on. I do absolutely recommend this for people who are doing raw feeding. 


UPDATE: on agile joints. (Click me to read the review of Agile joints) Leo seems to have a fuller range of movement now, before, he never used to lie with his hips on the ground, now he does it effortlessly. WOOHOO!!! He also continues to do great at stairs. 

Pet wellbeing is a fantastic website and a Canadian company that I trust. They not only have great customer service, swift shipping time but also quality products.

SUPPLEMENT SUNDAY - AGILE JOINTS FROM PET WELLBEING REVIEW

5/5

Hello readers!

This is a new exciting segment I am starting today. Supplement Sunday aims to help give you in depth information and my personal review of the pet supplements that are on the market.

Today, I will be reviewing Agile Joints by Pet Wellbeing. A wonderful Vet approved preventative product that can also be used for post surgery recovery for your older pets.

Leo may still look like a puppy (I get stopped on walks by people asking how many months he is!) but he is already in his fiftys in human years. I noticed that almost every time he sits down, his knees crack, so I was looking for a joint medicine that would alleviate this problem. Additionally, I take him stair walking sometimes and just really want to take care of his joints.

After using Agile joints for a week, I'm happy to say that his knees crack considerably less.

Agile Joints is super easy to use and Leo eats it like normal. One way you can administer it is simply drop it into his mouth, but Leo is a little squirmy when we try to open his mouth so I usually JUST drop 2 to 3 drops onto his breakfast kibble and he eats it like normal.

This is can used in conjunction with with Glucosamine and chondroitin which I believe is an ingredient in his kibble so it was perfect.

The bottle itself is shelf stable (you don't need to put it in the fridge) and The dropper has the ml written on it already.

We will continue to use this and check up with you next week (along with an review of a new product!)

So, a TLDR for those who hasn't got any time for reading:


  • Agile Joints is an anti inflammatory supplement for your older cats and dogs.
  • It's herbal and tastes like bacon 
  • Leo has had less joint cracking since using this product

VETERINARIAN VISIT (Leo's first trip to the vet!)



Some background information - Leo was very recently adopted (a about month ago) and we know that he has not had any vaccines done in the past 5 years. It's always important to see a vet, not just when emergency happens but also for wellness checks.

We have a family friend who is a fantastic vet so of course we went to her Capitol Hill Animal Hospital which was a really positive experience. 

The annual exam and vaccines took about 30 minutes and she answered many of my questions and concerns.

TIPS FOR GOING TO THE VET 
  • If it's your first time with your adopted/rescue pet, IF you do have any documents, bring a copy of them so they can put it on file. If not, then it's okay. 
  • Have a list of questions either written down or in your mind 
  • Have the pet on leash since there is a high chance there are other animals and dogs at the vet.
  • Let the dog pee before hand. 
  • Book your appointment in advance  

DOGGO GOT  - 

Lyme Vaccination (needs a booster shot in a month)  - We got this for him because I found a tick in my front yard. Also ticks love shrubby areas which we frequent. 

Leptospirosis (Found in Raccoon and Skunk Urine). Although my doggo does actively avoid waters, he also steps in puddles with full confidence. And I do want to take him swimming sometime. However, I read afterwards that Lepto is only effective for 30% of dogs, so this is one I need to research more. 

IN ADDITION, 

Our Chi likes to scoot on the carpet. And this is usually a sign that his anal glands are filed up. 
So we got his anal glands expressed (they were pretty big.) 

We are going to add more fiber into his diet. Metamucil and pumpkin was recommended.

Leo was super good at the doctors. Yay! 

Hope you found this helpful!
