Dog Health Blog

In a recent survey of about 100,000 people, the majority of dog
and cat owners stated that they thought their pets were in very
good health. But when veterinarians are asked the same question,
most believe that pet disease is very widespread.

So who is right?

Well, the statistics speak for themselves. 25% to 40% of puppies
die before weaning. 60% of dogs who are older than six years of
age will get cancer. 70% of senior dogs suffer from joint
disease. And obesity is the number one health problem facing our
canine population.

The primary cause of these widespread health problems is the
food we feed our dogs. As with humans, processed foods can be
very detrimental to a dog’s physical well-being - and the vast
majority of our dogs receive a diet of highly processed foods
throughout their lives. So they become chronically
undernourished.

Dogs are carnivores. In fact, puppies do best with a diet
consisting of 42% protein. But the protein they receive in
today’s packaged foods is usually derived from cereal grains and
from poor quality meats. What they really need, being
carnivores, is a high level of meat proteins rich in essential
amino acids, the building blocks for all of the body’s cells.
Instead they survive on processed cereal grain proteins, are
undernourished and often overfed, leading to obesity.

So if dog owners can’t purchase the optimal dog foods in their
local supermarkets or pet stores, what are they to do?

Dr. Bill Barnet is a leading doctor of veterinary medicine who
has been studying for the past 25 years the problem of pet
nutrition and how to ensure our pets lead long and healthy
lives. As a result of his research, he became convinced that
dogs needed to have made available to them nutritional
supplements (even more so than we humans do). So he focused on
developing a dog nutritional supplement that owners could add to
their pet’s daily meals.

Dr. Barnet recently introduced to the pet food market the
results of his many years of research and product development.
He calls it Hope for Pets - a powder that one sprinkles over the
dog’s meals twice daily. Hope for Pets contains 16 separate
sources of the vital proteins dogs require (including five amino
acids which can have many benefits, including acting as
antioxidants to enhance the dog’s immune system). He
purposefully created it in a highly concentrated, low calorie
form. It also contains APG-36 (which helps fight viruses, molds
and harmful bacteria), glycomerine (to fight against joint
pain), essential fatty acids and many other powerful vitamins
and minerals. He has combined these various ingredients in a
concentrated, synergistic manner to achieve a well-balanced
highly beneficial nutritional supplement.

Hope for Pets can be used by pets of all ages, even from birth.
It can aid our dogs in living longer, healthier lives. It also
helps to promote a healthy skin and coat and aids in the dog’s
ability to digest the nutrients in its regular food. Hope for
Pets is a nutritional supplement designed to provide our dogs
with the very best nutritional elements their bodies require. A
similar product for cats is expected to be released soon.
