20% OFF

For our January special to coincide with our Joint Health month, we are offering 20% off on our joint supplements and treats. Our treats contain glucosamine and chondroitin used in promoting healthy joints. So stop in today and check out our assortment of treats and our favorite supplement, Joint Complete. Below is a story from one of our best "families", the O'Connors, and how Joint Complete has helped their Golden Retriever, Lucy. Thanks for your story! If you have a story, please let us know. We would love to share it with all our Paws Inn family!

I have been giving our two Golden Retrievers, Lucy and Penny, Joint Complete for over a year. Within a month I noticed Lucy who is seven had a lot more spring in her step. Penny who is three has always been very spry. Lucy has no problem staying up with Penny now. I am sold on Joint Complete and would recommend highly to anyone with a dog. I would recommend you start your dog at an early age. It will make a big difference when they are older.

January is Joint Health Month!

January is a start of the new year. With all new years, we make resolutions. Here is one you can make to your pet - better joint health.
We are focusing this month on what we can do for our pets to keep them active.

Joint problems/ arthritis affects older dogs, as well as specific breeds such as German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and other active dogs. We can’t exclude small dogs even though they have less of a problem. They are not to be over looked.

Some signs of arthritis in dogs

Slow or stiffness when getting up especially in the morning

Slow or reluctant to go on walks

Limping or stiffness when walking

Change in attitude especially when playing

Research is finding that it is a good idea to start on a supplement before you notice problems. This will help maintain joint health. Check out our website, www.pawsinnresort.com, for what you can do for your pet if showing signs of arthritis.

- Trooper with Possum

Sometime things happen slowly, and you may not even notice there has been a change. This is what happened with my Golden Retriever, Trooper. I just thought he is getting older, and may no longer play as long now. Little did I know that he was having problems until one day, he refused to do some agility obstacles. It then became obvious that something was going on. He was young, only 6 years old, when I took him into our Vet and had x-rays. This way I could rule out any problems, but our Vet told us arthritis was setting into his lower spine. This is NOT what an owner wants to hear. I started looking into an alternative anti-inflammatory. I started with essential oils, supplements, and acupuncture. WOW! What a difference! He started to play again! It wasn't until then when I truly saw how much it had affected him. Now he is doing great! The continuation of the combination of supplements, exercise, and good food keeps him going strong!
