"SEA" THE BENEFITS OF KELP

  Sea kelp helps to improve the general health, appears to influence the immune system reducing stress & increasing stamina, helps improve condition of skin, improves condition of coat  or  feathers  and  reduce  shedding,  helps  allergy  symptoms,  reduces  pain from  arthritis,  helps  restore natural pigmentation, influences the proper functioning of the thyroid, helps fertility, regulates weight and appetite by enhancing your pet's food utilization

  Many pet foods are lacking in the proper amount of vitamins and minerals that your pet needs.  They are cooked at such high temperatures that much is cooked out in the process.  This can lead to defeciencies in your pets diet.  Norwegian kelp contains over 12 vitamins, 60 major & trace chelated minerals and 20 key amino acids.

  These defeciencies can be seen in different ways including eating stool, grass, sticks or dirt, skin and coat problems such as chewing on fur and loss of fur, weight issues due to thyroid and trouble with digestion.

  Sea Kelp can be a great supplement to help your pet live a healthy and long life.  Of course if your pet is exhibiting any consistent problems you should always consult your vet to make sure there is not a more serious problem at the root, if not the Kelp could be a good place to get your pet better

WATER TIME FUN & SAFETY
  With the warm weather we want to spend more time near the water and of course we want our furry friends to come along and join in the fun.  There are lots of great things you can get to help have fun in the water.
  If your dog loves to swim and goes out on the boat with you a great item to invest in would be a life jacket.  They come in many sizes, all you need to know is the length of your dog from his shoulders to the base of their tail.  To go with this you can get doggles for their eyes to help them protect their eyes.  If while they are swimming they like to fetch then there are great toys from West Paw that are bright colors and shaped like a stick and they float. 
  Other great toys are frisbees from Canine Hardware, the makers of Chuck-It, and Planet Dog.  Planet Dog even makes one that glows in the dark for night time fun.  Great if your at the beach to play catch with your best friend on those summer nights.
  If your pup likes soft toys then a great toy could be the floatable toys from Go Dog in the shape of sharks and seahorses.
  Whatever you do with your dog remember to be safe and if your going to be out in the sun for extended periods of time use sun lotion to protect their bare areas as well.  Also make sure to have plenty of water available for when they get thirsty, but be careful not to let them gulp it down but drink slowly and even, so not to twist their stomach. 
  If they do seem to be overheated, do not just splash water on them because this could shock their system and make it worse.  Wetting their coat when overheated can also mat the hair down and make it harder for them to cool off locking the heat in.  Get them to a cool shaded area and give them some water.  Perhaps wet a towel and place it on their paws or let them lay on it.
  Whatever you do have fun and be safe.
Happy Father's Day, Happy June!

Sincerely,
