MONTEREY, Calif., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pet Parent's Network (PPN) today announced the launch of HealthGUARD(R) dog vitamins, the only two-step nutritional supplement system currently available for dogs. Unlike many other supplements on the market, HealthGUARD uses only human grade ingredients and is manufactured in labs that meet the same requirements as facilities where human grade supplements are made.
Two of the key ingredients found in HealthGUARD dog supplements are omega- 3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for maintaining good health but not normally found in sufficient levels in dog food. Scientific studies in humans and animals (including dogs) have concluded that supplementation with these fatty acids provide several health benefits for dogs including improved cardiovascular health, better skin condition and stronger immune system.
Dogs Need Vitamins Too
Many pet parents spare no expense showering their dogs with designer duds and luxury hotel accommodations but they are overlooking something far more important-their dog's health. Of the 75 million dogs in this country, only about 10 percent of them receive a nutritional supplement in addition to their food. Unknowingly, pet parents have been led to believe that all the nutrition their dog needs is found in their food. Most pet parents are unaware that regulations that control nutritional requirements for pet foods are minimal at best. No matter what type of food you are giving to your dog, it just isn't enough. Dogs need vitamins, too.
"When I lost my beloved German Sheppard, Lars, to cancer at the premature age of 8 1/2 in 2005, I made it my mission to help keep others from experiencing the pain of losing a loved one too early," said Steven Goldberg, founder and President of Pet Parent's Network. "With this product, fellow pet parents can be assured that their dogs will live longer, happier and healthier lives."
Currently, HealthGUARD can be purchased on the PPN Web site at http://www.petparentsnetwork.com/ and costs 3.50 for a sixty day supply for dogs under 25 pounds (which equals a thirty day supply for dogs over 25 pounds). In addition, the site offers visitors interactive Q&A's for the most common canine health questions.
Product Advisory Council
Dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for all dogs, PPN enlisted the expertise of two people who have devoted their lives to helping animals - - Sonya Fitzpatrick and Dr. Pam Barker D.V.M.
Sonya Fitzpatrick is America's most loved and trusted animal communicator and a devout animal activist. From her early childhood in England, this gifted woman has been able to communicate with animals of all spots and stripes. Besides having had her own show on Animal Plant and a current show on Sirius Satellite Radio, Sonya has helped pet parents worldwide to achieve better understanding and closer relationships. Sonya is also actively engaged in rescuing and assisting lost, abandoned and sick animals through her foundation GOAL - "Gift of Animal Life" and is a passionate advocate of no- kill sanctuaries.
Pam Barker was born and raised in Alaska and has had a lifelong love of animals. Growing up, she trained and showed obedience competition dogs and in high school she worked summers as a wrangler on a dude ranch. After graduating from the University of Alaska with degrees in Biological Sciences and Secondary Education, Pam served as a volunteer dog handler and team leader for Alaska Search and Rescue Dogs and assisted in wildlife rescue efforts after the Exxon Valdez oil spill. She graduated from Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine and practiced veterinary medicine in Idaho. She then moved to Whitefish, Montana and began to build a team of Siberian Husky sled dogs, where she provided tours, raced and did numerous public and school educational presentations on sled dog sports, dog care and responsible pet ownership.
Email Has Gone to the Dogs
In celebration of the HealthGUARD launch, PPN has made it possible for dog lovers everywhere to send customized "Pup-E-Mails" that let the dogs do the talking.
Visitors to the PPN website can choose from several pre-programmed talking dogs or upload a picture of their own adorable pooch. With a simple click of the mouse you can choose a background that sends your puppy everywhere from the first-base line of a baseball game to the far-out surface of the moon - but not without glasses, a hat and cell phone of course! The real magic happens when the pups start speaking. You can create a message of your own or choose from one of the comical and quirky pre-recorded messages.
