Nutrition and Supplements
The old addage "you get what you pay for" holds true for your pet's nutrition as well as many other things. We pride ourselves in carrying several lines of all natural pet foods. These foods have no artificial colors, preservatives, and do not contain "filler" ingredients that only serve to produce more fecal matter and provide no nutrition. Their main protein source is meat, not vegetable protein. Animals will survive and even be overweight on almost ANY pet food, the difference in the quality of the food is the difference in your pets overall health. Poorer quality foods contribute to increased fecal production, increased shedding, dry, brittle hair coat, flaky skin, and most importantly food allergies. Dogs and cats with food allergies tend to have itchy skin, especially feet and ears, and typically will get recurrent ear infections year round. High quality foods allow you to feed less and promote healthy skin and hair coat, and less stool production.
We carry a variety of natural foods with a wide price range, all of which are gluten free.
 
The Chicken Soup line is a high quality food that is comparable in price to one of the better brands of food available in the grocery store. The exciting feature in this food is that it contains four different meat sources in each of their dog and cat foods. This is a wonderful, high quality, affordable food for general maintenance.

Solid Gold is our top of the line natural food that we carry. This food's meat sources are hormone and antibiotic free, and are range fed. For the dog that gets bored with the same food, they carry beef, lamb, or bison formulas.
For more information on the Solid Gold line, follow this link. http://www.solidgoldhealth.com/ We also carry some of the nutritional supplements and treats by Solid Gold such as Seameal, Steamed Bone Meal, Beef Jerky, Cinna-bones, Tiny Tots, and Garlic Doggie Bagels.
California Natural is a line of foods designed for animals with food allergies. They offer three different formulas, Lamb and Rice, low calorie Lamb and Rice, and Sweet Potato and Herring. The same formula for their food also comes in a small and large health bar treat. If your pet has food allergies, placing them on a hypoallergenic diet is the first step in controlling the allergies, the next step is making sure that they are not getting any other foods, such as treats or people food, that they may be reacting to as well. Hypoallergenic treats makes compliance much easier than just eliminating treats altogether.
Innova is a holistic line of pet foods containing fruits and vegetables as well as their high quality meat sources.

We understand the difficulty some owners have medicating their pets. Pill pockets are a tasty treat designed to help overcome this difficulty. They are a small, soft treat with a hole in the center for placement of medication. Once the pill is inside, squeeze the treat closed over the pill and most animals will enjoy the treat without realizing they are receiving medication. Pill Pockets are designed for both dogs and cats.
 
Nordic Naturals produces a high quality, highly palatable, and pure Cod Liver Oil for pets. The health-promoting Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are EPA and DHA. They are important for supporting healthy skin, coat, joints, brain, heart, and eye health, as well as a pet’s energy level. Many pet food contain some fatty acids, but not in the optimal ratios of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids, and virtually none include satisfactory amounts of the most important Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. In line with pet recommendations in Scandinavia, we feel it is crucial to give your pet quality fish oil every day.
Fish Oils have been shown to aid in treating allergic skin disease as well. We recommend Pet Cod Liver oil in all of our patients, both dogs and cats, that have allergies. It works well to decrease itchy skin, dull hair coats, and dry flaky skin. Dosing is by weight and ranges from 1/4 to 1 teaspoon over the food or on a clean plate once a day.

Joint health is always a concern, at any age. People are overwhelmed by the choices when it comes to joint health supplements. All Glucosamine products are not the same. They vary in bioavailability, the bodies ability to absorb and utilize the product as intended. Glucosamine is designed to help lubricate and maintain joints, and we recommend it as a preventative as well as treatment for arthritis and joint pain. GLC 1000 contains all four bioavailable glucosamines as well as chondroitin, manganese, and ascorbate. It comes in a capsule form as well as a powder that can simply be placed on the food. For more information, follow this link. http://www.glcdirect.com/glc1000page.html
Prescription diets
We carry several lines of prescription diets. Each line has their own version of a diet for a certain disease process. We have selected the diet we feel does the best at controlling the disease as well as the diet that has the highest palatability for each food we carry. We can special order in other foods from these manufacturers if we don't currently have it on hand. Occassionally your pet may decide he or she doesn't like the prescription diet they've been on and switching brands may peak their interest in food again.
