Back-to-school certainly has us thinking of upping the multivitamins and supplements for the kids but what about our four-legged kids, as well?  With the dog star Sirius shining brightest in the sky from June to early-September as well as rising and setting with the sun, this time of year has become known as the “dog days of summer”. This also reminds us that our furry friends could use some extra care to help them through the season.

My name is Jackie Godfrey and I am a wellness consultant at the central Peoples location. My pets and I love the Standard Process whole-food supplement line for maintaining optimal health and vitality. In fact, my pets love it! I can’t open a jar of Standard Process’s multivitamin Catalyn without my cat running over to be the first in line to get her fair share. While formulated for humans, it is safe for pets and part of our everyday routine to keep her healthy and happy.

Like all of their products, Catalyn is food-based and packed with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and more! It supplements the nutrition that food sources are usually lacking. Standard Process products are plant- and animal-based, making them particularly unique and easy to digest. This composition, combined with the nutritional value they provide, can benefit the whole family. For example, when my large, 11-year-old black labrador began developing hip problems, I put him on calcium-rich Calcifood wafers. In no time, he regained his normal activity and had no problems getting up. In addition to a large selection of whole-food supplements for humans, Standard Process also has a full veterinary  line of products that can address allergies, skin disorders, kidney, liver, heart support, and overall general health specifically for animals.

I know that for most ‘parents’ and much like the dog star Sirius, the sun always rises and sets with our kids, be they two-legged or four-legged. At the end of the day, we want only the best for them! Ask your Standard Process Wellness Consultant at any Peoples location for more information on why Standard Process is an excellent supplement choice for the whole family – including our furry friends!
