In-depth education on how vitamins and supplements may help your dog or cat to maintain a healthy life.

 
 

  The Importance of Your Dog's Nutrition

 
Studies have shown that an estimated 40-50% of pets are overweight, which significantly increases their chance of contracting serious diseases and illnesses. Keeping your pet on a nutritious diet not only helps to keep your pet at a healthy weight, but may also reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.

Follow these simple guidelines and your pet can enjoy a happy and healthier lifestyle:

 
  

Feed a lean diet.


Feeding your dog a brand of pet food that is natural and high in vitamins and nutrients play a large part in maintaining your dog's overall health. To give your dog the best nutrition, consider feeding your dog a 5-star rated pet food. We recommend Go! Natural Grain Free Endurance Formula for dogs that are active or working breeds, and require high amounts of protein. If your dog is overweight or senior, try Go! Natural Senior/Weight Management Formula. Or, you prefer to feed your dog wet food, there is also Go! Natural Canned Dog Food available in delicious grain free flavors (Chicken, Turkey & Duck, or Freshwater Trout) and wholesome formulas Chicken & Vegetable, and Salmon & Vegetable.

Swap your pet's fatty and over processed treats with ones that are natural and healthy.
 
Feeding your pet a lean diet enriched with vitamins and minerals is a simple change you can make to help keep your pet healthy.
  

Avoid giving too many extra treats.


Refrain from giving your dog too many extra treats. They contain extra calories that can add extra weight. Rather than using excess food or treats as a source of vitamins and nutrients, use vitamin supplements instead.
 
"I have two very fussy terriers. At first they wouldn't try the Vitachew tablets, but I broke them in half so they could smell them better, and since then I have not had any problem with them taking their vitamins daily. In fact, when they hear me get the bottle they come running. I always give them a "no fat" dog treat with them too! I've been using this vitamin for over a year and think this is an excellent product!" — Laura
  

  

Exercise daily.


Maintaining a daily exercise routine can help to keep your pet at its healthiest. Even when you're away at work, you can keep your dog physically and mentally stimulated with a toy like the Buster Cube.
 
  

  
 
Max's Tip: Give treats that are nutritious and do not contain excess sugar or sodium.
