Hello and Welcome to my blog, Best Pet Vitamins.  The purpose of this blog is too enrich our knowledge and education of how to properly care for our pets.  Our pets are ”our” responsibility and nobody else`s.  Especially not our Vets!!  In fact, we should be doing all we can to prevent our pets from having to see a Vet.  There are only two reasons why we need to see a Vet.  Either our pets need there vaccines or they are sick or injured.   

For the most part, the latter can be prevented.  There are things that we, as pet owners, can do to prevent our pets from serious harm or getting sick.  As for vaccines, well that I will discuss on another blog.  One of the things that we can do to help our pets stay healthy is too feed them the right food.  At my other website, Pamper Pet Care, I have devoted one page to providing healthy food choices for our pets by making our own pet food.   Trust me it is not as hard as it sounds.  I have hundreds of homemade dog and cat food that you can easily make yourself using grocery bought ingredients.  You may view our ebook selection at our site.

The other way  is to provide high quality supplements or vitamins.

Dog vitamins are a great way to supplement your dog`s diet and increase your dog`s health.  You might think, this is absurd, why would I give my dog vitamins. Giving your dog vitamins and supplements will help assure a long healthy life. If your dog has low energy or other health problems you should consider dog vitamins.

Some of the benefits of giving vitamins to your pets would be:

 1.Dog vitamins are known to cure, or help reduce the symptoms of many dog related health problems.

2.Are a great way to keep your dog healthy, happy, and increase your dog`s life span, and enjoyment of life.

3.Save on Vet bills because your pet will stay healthy longer.

 Dog vitamins and Dog supplements are dosages of extra nourishment added to the food that your dogs and cats consume daily to make up for their deficiency and strengthen their whole body system.  Dog vitamins are an effective way to ensure your dog is getting his or her daily quota of vitamins. However Dog vitamins and supplements cannot make up for poor quality food or inadequate exercise. While almost all dogs will benefit from some form of vitamin or nutritional supplement, there are situations where dog vitamins are actually required in order to prevent or treat ill health.  

Just like our everyday foods that are rich in nutrients, dog vitamins and dog supplements are also important to provide extra digestive assistance which is beneficial for all pets especially when they are suffering from illnesses, allergies or being old.  Not unlike humans, the daily intake may not always be met and that`s when it`s important to consider dog vitamins.  Keep in mind that dog vitamins and supplements are an important part of a dog’s complete nutritional needs.  So remember to always provide dog vitamins and dog supplements to your pets.

While most nutritionists and veterinarians believe that feeding a dog a balanced diet is critical to meet its requirement of nutrients, dog vitamins provide that extra oomph when something is lacking in their daily diet. Any of the following ingredients are beneficial in holistic treats:  Human-grade ingredients Organic flaxseed oil Vegetables: carrots, green beans, zucchini Fruits: apples, blueberries and bananas Barley, oatmeal Honey Peanut butter While a holistic diet including natural dog vitamins and ingredients is healthy, there are foods dogs cannot eat. 

Organic oats and barley are healthy grains that possess natural dog vitamins like E and B.  Meat by-products: animal parts that are not meat, such as kidneys and intestines do not have a high level of natural dog vitamins.  While most nutritionists and veterinarians believe that feeding a dog a balanced diet is critical to meet its requirement of nutrients, dog vitamins provide that extra oomph when something is lacking in their daily diet.

The key with vitamin supplements, though, is that they support and encourage a healthy system, so any results you can actually see may be quite gradual.  Your dog deserves the benefits of dog health supplements.  Not only can dogs enjoy the benefits of using pet tabs pet vitamins and supplements, but cats can as well.  Dog vitamins and Dog supplements are dosages of extra nourishment added to the food that your dogs and cats consume daily to make up for their deficiency and strengthen their whole body system.  Pet supplements when added to the food will help their bodies and immune systems to achieve the nutrition they need.  Therefore, it is extremely beneficial to give them pet vitamins and supplements daily to have a healthy living.

In this blog you will hear alot about Dr. Andrew Jones.  He is a practising Veterinarian in Nelson BC, Canada.  He believes in using natural and holistic approaches to pet health care.  I will be making references to his procedures and methods throughout my blogs.  Dr. Jones also sells products that are related to pet health care such as a high quality dog supplement, that I use for my beagle Lucy.  I have personally seen remarkable changes in Lucy since we started giving her the supplement. 

My intention here is not to try and just sell you “things”.  I will be honest with you and tell you that I do make a small commission when someone buys the supplement through my link but I believe that unless you try the product and see that it works, how can you recommend it to others?  Plus Dr. Jones has a great quarantee on the product too.  So why not check it out?  I am convinced that you or your pet will not regret it.

Thank you for reading my first blog and I really look forward to hearing any comments that you may have.  As a matter of fact why not tell us about your pet.  We would love to hear about him or her.

Every single owner should have a basic working knowledge of how to
groom their dogs because it makes an awful lot of difference to not
only how a dog looks but also to how he or she feels.

You may think that soap, brush and a towel will be enough for the
job but, did you know that you need at least the basics for
grooming your dog? This means a brush, comb, scissors and nail
clippers.

The choice of tools will be determined by your dog’s type of coat.

So, today I will discuss;

=============================================

10 OF THE 30 TOOLS USED TO GROOM YOUR DOG

=============================================

Don’t worry, you don’t need all thirty :)                       

———————-
BOAR’S BRISTLE BRUSH
———————-

A boar’s bristle brush is not necessarily something that most
owners have heard of but is generally used for removing the
undercoat during shedding and when there are loose hairs.

It can really help to remove matting and is generally associated
with the grooming of long coated breeds.

—————
BRISTLE BRUSH
—————

Available in soft, medium, and stiff formats, bristle brushes are
ideal for use with short coats. However, they can also be used on
the undercoat of long coated breeds as well.

Bristle brushes are ideal for regular brushing as they will not
damage the skin.

————–
RUBBER BRUSH
————–

The rubber brush is gentle on the skin and is not designed for
coats with tangles. As such, it is designed for smooth and medium
coated breeds.

——-
COMB
——-

Unlike the brushes available, there are very few combs to choose
from and many experts simply recommend a regulation size steel
comb.

The comb should ideally have both fine and medium teeth for
removing tangles and removing stray hairs that the brush has left
behind.

This comb is ideal for use with all coat types and thus all breeds.

————
CAGE DRYER
————

A cage dryer is just what the name suggests. It is a tool that is
attached to a cage if you choose that method of drying for your
dog. It can easily be used at home to ensure that your dog can dry
in comfort in his or her cage.

If you invest in quality grooming tools then they will last longer
and work much better than the cheaper ones. Furthermore, if you
take the time to look after them properly then they will take care
of your dog.

————————–
ELECTRIC CLIPPER BLADES
————————–

Electric clipper blades are effectively those made for clippers
that are classified as A5 and A2. The blades are individually
numbered for your reference with the higher numbers being
designated as closer cuts and thus shorter hair.

—————————–
ELECTRIC CLIPPER SPRAY LUBE
—————————–

As essential when grooming using clippers, this spray is a coolant
that can help to lubricate the blades and cool then down when you
want to prevent burning your dog.

It is a fast and effective way of cooling the blade so that your
grooming session can resume uninterrupted.

—————————
HOUND GLOVE OR HOUND MITT
—————————

This glove is designed to help cleanse and brush the coats of
smooth coated dogs and can also be used on some medium coated dogs.
It is ideal for quick grooming and is highly effective.

———-
SCISSORS
———-

There are scissors that are designed for various sizes of dogs but
they are pretty standard issue. They all have sharp blades and so
you should buy them with the size of your own dog in mind in
addition to considering left-handed scissors if you need them.

—————
NAIL CLIPPERS
—————

This is an essential piece of equipment for grooming your dog.
There are three different sizes of nail clippers available; small,
medium and large.

Each type corresponds with the size of the dog you are grooming.
You can choose the scissors clippers, which are suitable primarily
for small dogs.

So, there you go; I hope that this newsletter opened your eyes to
the numerous tools that are available for your dog.

Hope this helps,

I have heard a lot of dog owners asking if home grooming is better
than professional grooming.

Dog grooming is effectively the cleaning of a dog and there are
two persons who can groom your dog; a professional dog groomer and
yourself.

Your decision to groom your dog yourself or get a professional to
do so actively impacts upon your dog’s happiness. It is worth
taking the time to think long and hard about it all.

I will be answering your questions with a two part newsletter. So,
today we will be discussing the advantages of dog grooming at home.

Before you send spot to a professional dog groomer or groom him at
home;

===============================================================

HERE ARE 3 OF THE 5 ADVANTAGES TO GROOMING YOUR DOG AT HOME

===============================================================

———————————-
YOU CAN CONTROL THE ENVIRONMENT
———————————-

If you groom your dog then you will be doing so at home in a
comfortable environment that your dog feels at home in.

You can therefore control the way that he or she feels by using the
safety and comfort of the environment.

You can control the grooming experience as well so if your dog does
not respond well to something the first time then you can introduce
it slowly.

A professional groomer WILL NOT necessarily do that because they
will be intent on providing exactly what you asked for.

—————
IT IS CHEAPER
—————

It can be much cheaper to groom your dog yourself because you are
paying for the equipment, time and effort of a professional dog
groomer and yet will only pay for the former if you are doing it
yourself.

This can be a major expense saver that comes with so many other
benefits that it really is value for money.

——————-
ENHANCING BONDING
——————-

This is the main advantage of grooming your dog yourself. You can
actively look to form a bond with your dog that goes above and
beyond any other bond.

The close personal attention that your dog gets does not come in
any other form and the shared experience can really make you feel a
connection to your dog that is founded on that.

There are also some disadvantages as well;

==================================================================
HERE IS 1 OF THE 3 DISADVANTAGES OF GROOMING YOUR DOG AT HOME:
==================================================================

———————–
HAVE TO BUY THE TOOLS
———————–

The tools for grooming your dog do cost a bit to start with so
there is an initial outlay.

There are also ongoing costs that may be more or less depending on
exactly what you need, what breed of dog you have and the wear and
tear on your grooming tools.

You have no way of knowing what your costs will be but here is a
tip if you do decide to go for home grooming  invest in quality
tools because they will last you longer and save you money in the
long term. They are worth every penny.

That’s it for now.

Next time, I will show the advantages disadvantages to sending your
dog to a professional dog groomer.

Yours truly,
