Ever since we adopted Shorty, a black lab,  and I walked her near water she goes totally ballistic and wants to run into the water, obviously to swim.

I never let her go in because I really didn’t know if she would listen when I called her back.  Saturday was such an amazing day that my friend and I went to Lake Ontario.  I had a long leather leash so I could let Shorty in the water and still keep control.

We played sticks with her, and every time she got the stick she came back so my friend said to take the leash off, she comes back all the time.

I did take the leash off, tossed the stick, not far, and away she goes….and goes…and goes.  She just swam.  No matter how much I shouted “Come”, “Cookie”, “Ball”, she just kept swimming.

I was freaking.  Eventually she did turn around.  But man, that was scary!  So, she will need to stay on a long cotton leash in the big lakes, in the small cottage country lakes, it will be ok.

Phew, my heart did thump as I watched her swim further and further away.

A testimonial! From a HealthyPetNet Customer.

“Ok…you are probably sick of hearing me tell you this, but here I go AGAIN. I just have to let you know how happy I am that you told me about Agility. Lizzy is soooo much better since she’s been taking it. She is going on long walks (or runs) now, and is way out in front of me. Maybe I should be taking this stuff. Before, she wouldn’t even go for a walk with me….just lay and look at me like I was asking her to tap dance or something equally absurd…maybe karaoke. THANKS SO MUCH for caring about her enough to recommend this! love you, R.”

Message from Dr. Jane

Every minute of every day, there’s a battle going on inside your pet’s body.  Thankfully, there are some excellent ingredients in many foods that are widely recognized as effective weapons for this fight to preserve health.

The troublemakers in this ongoing conflict are free radicals, which can negatively affect DNA, lipids and proteins.  Their combined impact can lead to cell mutation, disruption of normal cellular processes and even the death of cells*.  In fact, cells can be “attacked” by free radicals many thousands of times … every single day.
