The holiday season can be a time of great joy and celebration with those we love, dogs and humans alike. Making sure your dog is set up for success during your holiday celebrations will help you get the most “merry” out of this time of year.

Although it is believed that hip dysplasia is incurable, there is research that shows with proper nutrition, exercise and supplements, affected dogs can make extraordinary improvement.
Zignature only uses natural ingredients in their foods, which means they never contain artificial flavors, preservatives, or colors. They are also free of corn, grain, wheat, soy, potatoes and potato starch. Potatoes have been identified as a high-glycemic binder for dog food and may cause potential problems with diabetic dogs. A food’s glycemic index refers to how quickly a food is turned into glucose and released into the blood stream after being consumed. Zignature only uses low glycemic binders such as whole chickpeas and garden peas.
We loved having Dr. Chris Bessent, the owner of Herbsmith, with us this fall to share her wisdom on the importance of supplements for your pet's overall health. Not only did she join us for our Fall Vendor Expo in September, but she was our guest speaker at an educational workshop we hosted that same month. She shared her knowledge on how traditional Chinese medicines and herbs can make each dog their best dog.
