Supplement Sunday - SPARK by Pet Wellbeing!























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 - HEALTHY GUMS FROM PET WELLBEING REVIEW


4.5/5

Wow! This is quickly becoming one of my most viewed series! I'm so glad you all enjoy my reviews of supplements! 

This week, I'm going to reviewing Healthy Gums by Pet Well-being. Gums, the red part on top of your teeth, essentially your teeth's clothes, are an extremely important part of your body. Did you know that having bad gums causes plaque that can cause obstructions in the arteries, and dogs and humans can die from heart attacks and aneurysms  from it? Not many people pay attention to their dog's teeth but they really, really should. Plaque is common and it needs attention because it's terrible for the overall being. 

 Out of the 3 supplements I have reviewed so far, this is one you might need to ease your pet into it. Leo does enjoy the flavor, it's just that it's always hard to force a dog to show his gums when he' not pissed at you. (Not that Leo's ever showed his gums to me) 

The smell is super pleasant, it smells like oranges and mint. When we visited the vet, she said his gums are okay for now but if it gets worse (he has a small amount of plaque), we might need to give him a dental cleaning. This product will help aid in keeping his gums healthy.

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. 

You can also purchase it from Amazon by clicking down below as well.

BULLY STICK/ TREAT REVIEW - OPEN RANGE PET TREATS (BEEF)

Just some background information. Leo is an active 8 or 9 years old chihuahua that currently weights 4kg or 8.8 pounds. This is the beef chomper, I got the 4 inch. 

Open range farm is a Canadian owned company and I appreciate that their products have minimal packaging. I personally bought this bully stick from Tisol but many other pet stores carry it. 

I was looking around for a good bully stick and honestly thought this looked a little too hard. Little did I know, he devoured it in 20 minutes - the entire thing!!! I tried to take it away from him at one point and he just started to pretty much gulp it.

So in retrospect, I would recommend this as a treat (especially for medium sized and large dogs)
but for chihuahuas, I would saw it in half so he can enjoy it two times.

 However, seeing this is beef esophagus, it actually looked quite high in fat content, so I would recommend lowering his calorie intake in other foods and/or taking him on extra long walks the next few days. 


Leo gives this a 5/5  (I LOVE THIS WOULD INHALE AGAIN)
I give it a 4.5/5 because I doubt it's teeth cleaning properties and also the need to portion it out for him for next time. Would repurchase. 

We recently bought the water buffalo stick from the same company, so look out for that review soon!

TOP 5 ANIMAL RELATED YOUTUBE CHANNELS



Vet Ranch is one of the best Youtube channels right now. Just watch this amazing video. <3 I always learn so much and feel so much when he saves animals.




Mercola, a little bit of a more corporate channel BUT has lots of good information. They never push their product which is nice.




One of my favorite charities, with a wonderful Youtube channel.




Their videos are definitely getting better with time. I recommend following your local SPCA's youtube. Lots of good info.





If you ever felt like you need a good cry but also a restoration in humanity, watch these amazing rescue stories.

BONUS VIDEO




One of the chillest people ever, tells us what good stuff she gives to her dog to keep him healthy!!! Most of her other videos are human food based, but I found this video to be super helpful.
