As a doting parent of a chorkie (a mix between a yorkie and chihuahua), ensuring she stays healthy and active is one of our top priorities. Our fur babies bring us endless joy and companionship, and it’s only fair that we do everything we can to support their well-being.
Today, modern advancements in pet nutrition have made it easier than ever to ensure our dogs live long, healthy lives. By prioritizing their health through proper diet, exercise, and supplements, we can help our dogs avoid common ailments and enjoy their time with us to the fullest.
And we speak from experience on this one. Four years ago, we noticed Rooney started intermittent episodes with her legs, at times skipping and avoiding use of her right hind leg altogether. It turns out she had a luxating patella (a kneecap that 'pops out' or moves out of its normal location) which is common in small dog breeds. That’s when we decided to look into supplements that could help her stay active given her condition. While we know her leg would get weaker over time, and in extreme cases surgery becomes the only option, for now our focus was to keep her joints as strong as long as we can. And we found a combination (in addition to a diet and exercise) that worked for Rooney.
Fast forward. Rooney turns 10 today and she is doing well and continues to be her playful curious self. One of the ways we maintain her health is by incorporating Zesty Paws supplements into her diet. These supplements have become a staple in our daily routine, and we're thrilled to share our favorites with you.
Zesty Paws Mobility Bites are specifically formulated to support your dog's joint health. These delicious chews contain glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM, which work together to maintain healthy cartilage and joints. Regular use can help your dog stay active and playful, reducing the risk of joint-related issues.
For Rooney, these bites were a game-changer. Within a few weeks, she was more energetic overall, eager for those longer walks and kept a high level of playfulness. More importantly, the right leg episodes were less frequent. It was a relief to see her move comfortably and with ease around the house and outdoors.
For digestive health, we trust Zesty Paws Probiotic Bites. A healthy gut is crucial for your dog's overall health, affecting everything from digestion to the immune system. These chews contain a blend of probiotics and prebiotics that promote a balanced gut flora. They can help alleviate digestive issues like diarrhea, constipation, and bloating, ensuring your dog feels their best every day.
Around the same time we were working with her leg condition, Rooney would have these digestive issues, unpredictable late night tummy problems which was a concern for us. After introducing these probiotic bites two years ago, her digestion improved noticeably. No more unexpected messes or distressed pup, just a happier and healthy dog.
For comprehensive health support, we use Zesty Paws 8-in-1 Multivitamin Bites. These multivitamins provide essential nutrients that support various aspects of your dog's health, from skin and coat to heart and immune function. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, these bites are a convenient way to ensure your dog gets the nutrition they need to thrive.
Giving Rooney these multivitamins has made a noticeable difference in her overall vitality. Her coat is shinier, and she just seems more energetic and alert. It's reassuring to know she's getting the nutrients she needs to live her best life.
We've seen the positive impact these supplements had and continue to have on Rooney. There are many options to invest in your dog's health. Do your research and consider Zesty Paws supplements. Your loyal companion deserves the best, and these supplements are a simple, effective way to support their well-being. Give them the gift of good health, and enjoy many more years of love and companionship.
