Hey neighbors!
I want to take a minute and discuss something important for anyone who owns a pet. Do you check your bag to see what you are feeding your pet? Do you make sure it is healthy for your pet and not full of fillers and preservatives? Since we have several Shelties, I have become more aware of the food we are feeding them. So much can be affected by them not getting the right nutrition and nutrients. Not only their health can be affected, but their coat, skin condition and even their personalities. Wellness wants to make sure you know some facts about feeding your pets so you can make a wise choice.
None of our Shelties are picky eaters, so I am sure they would eat just about anything and they often try to. LOL! We do have one is slightly picky. Anyway, I want to know that I am feeding our Shelties a food that is good for them and of course the very best is a natural dog food. How about you? Below are just a few facts for pet owners.

Why are natural dog food diets so important anyway? “Natural products go far beyond just basic nutrition,” says Dr. Al Townshend, staff Veterinarian at Wellness® Pet Food. “Natural diets are designed to provide the very best nutrition and can have significant benefits.”
In fact, according to Dr. Townshend, “natural diets offer ingredients
with some important health benefits such as probiotics, those good bacteria
that are essential for a healthy immune system and digestive tract; glucosamine
and chondroitin for joint health; omega-3 fatty acids or fish oils for heart
and kidney health; and added digestive supplements to enhance digestibility to
get the very best benefits from quality proteins and fats.”
