This is often an incredibly difficult topic to breach; the emotional strain of facing the loss of our best friend can become unbearable. Our animal companions provide so much unconditional love – they offer friendship, affection, love and understanding where human relationships often fall short. They become part of our heart and soul, they are as important as our children, equal members of the family. People that don't have pets sometimes don't understand this depth.

Heat water just enough to melt coconut oil when added. Mix all ingredients together. Store in fridge for up to 2 WEEKS, or freeze for up to 6 months. Give 1/2 tablespoon per 50 lbs.
A great way to store them is by pouring the mixture into ice cube trays, freezing, then transferring the cubes to another container to keep in freezer. Simply plop one in your animals bowl for them to enjoy! You can pour a tablespoon of boiling water onto cube to aid in defrosting, if necessary. Recipe courtesy Corey P. Winter & Arthritis
It's winter – cold weather is appreciated to help keep flea populations reduced, but unfortunately may exacerbate arthritis in our older pets. Pancree - a - what??
It's Holiday season – that means lots of home cooked meals and leftovers. Our pets thoroughly enjoy the delicious food smells from the kitchen and the leftovers too! A disease called pancreatitis may be induced if too many leftovers are fed, the wrong kind of leftovers are given or any leftovers are fed to a pet with poor digestion. |
