Glucosamine & Chondroitin can Help!

Hip and joint care for dogs is a big concern we all have, especially as your dog ages. Unfortunately, many dogs develop some form of joint disease during their lifetime. There is a wide range of symptoms from mild to severe debilitation that can greatly affect the dog’s quality of life. The signs of joint disease are limping, stiffness, restless sleeping and reluctance to jump. Veterinarians in the United States have been prescribing Glucosamine and Chondroitin to their pet patients for several years and are pleased with the results.
Glucosamine is the major sugar found in glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronate, which are important building blocks in the synthesis and maintenance of cartilage in the joint. Glucosamine is a 2-amino derivative of glucose which is obtained through the hydrolysis of chitin, a polysaccharide found in the shell of crustaceans.
Chondroitin enhances the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and inhibits damaging enzymes in the joint. Chondroitin is a naturally occurring product found in animal cartilage. Supplemental chondroitin is derived primarily from bovine (cow) cartilage, particularly the cartilage rings of the trachea.
Glucosamine and chondroitin have become widely used in treating both animals osteoarthritis. Due to the success in treating pet patients with osteoarthritis, Glucosamine and Chondroitin have come to the vanguard of therapy and are becoming the most popular products for managing arthritis. Goodness Gravy is a comprehensive system of health supplements for dogs! If you want to read more about science and ingredients, please click here.

Omega fish oils for dogs promotes a healthy skin & shiny coat Veterinarians have discovered that fatty acids in a dog’s diet are important in developing a healthy skin and coat. More recently, Vets have seen improvements in allergies, joint health, inflammation control, cardiovascular health and the function of body organs. Most of your dog’s essential fatty acids are obtained through their diet as they cannot produce all of the fatty acids they need.
Goodness Gravy is infused with Omega Fish Oil for Dogs that helps with important body functions. Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) marine fish oil that helps with atopy, arthritis, autoimmune disease, retinoid therapy, seborrhea, decrease cholesterol. Omega-3 Docosahexaenoic (DHA) is also a marine fish oil that helps with atopy, retinoid therapy. Omega-6 helps with dry skin, dull hair coat and seborrhea. We included Vitamin E that assists the efficacy of Omega-3 and Omega-6 to promote a healthy shiny coat.
Fatty acid supplements can positively affect several of your dog’s systems and conditions. Omega Fish Oil for Dogs help:

• Allergies and autoimmune conditions – when the immune system over-reacts, your dog can develop an allergies or autoimmune conditions. Fatty acids can reduce the harmful effect of these diseases with your dog
• Arthritis – Omega-3 fatty acids may be helpful in reducing arthritic inflammation. Other related inflammation diseases including colitis, inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis may respond to fatty acids
• Skin and Coat – Dull, dry and weak coats can respond to essential fatty acid supplements
• Yeast Infections – it has been shown that the growth of some common yeast infections in dogs has been slowed with the introduction of fatty acids
• Preventing atopy – atopy is an allergy to inhaled substances that include pollens and mold. Some research has shown that fatty acid supplements can act to prevent atopy in developing dogs
• Cardiovascular Support – Some evidence suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may prevent certain cardiovascular problems as well in dogs
• Eyes – omega-3 fatty acids are vital for the development of the retina and visual cortex
• Cancer – fatty acids have been shown to slow the development of certain cancers

Our Gravy is packed with the essentials

Goodness Gravy is a scientifically formulated complete multivitamin containing antioxidants, digestive enzymes and essential minerals to maintain health in dogs. Vitamins and nutrients for your dog can improve the quality of your pet's life. They help regulate body processes, protect the body from environmental toxins, and break down nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats so the body can utilize them.
Vitamins and nutrients work with minerals and enzymes for digestion, reproduction, muscle and bone growth, joint care, immune system support and maintenance of healthy skin and haircoat.
Vitamins and nutrients for dogs are important because they combine important benefits essential for your dog’s health that are lacking in dog food and treats. Goodness Gravy combines 37 essential vitamins, nutrients, enzymes and minerals to help maintain a dog’s healthy system.
Vitamins - both water and fat-soluble including vitamin A, D3, E, B1, B12, B2, B6, B9, C, K1, Niacin, Panththenic Acid, Biotin. Vitamins are necessary for tens of thousands of different chemical reactions in the body. They work in conjunction with minerals and enzymes to promote normal digestion, reproduction, muscle and bone growth and function, healthy skin and hair, clotting of blood, and the use of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates by the body.
Digestive Enzymes - including Inulin, Alpha Amylase, Cellulase, Lipase, Lactase, Neutral Protease. Digestive Enzymes help safeguard and ensure that the digestive system efficiently processes ingredients allowing them to reach the small intestine supporting absorption and deployment of nutrients in your dog’s diet.
Antioxidants – Vitamins A, C, E, Beta-carotene. Antioxidants slow down damage from free radicals and prevent further cell damage. They allow the immune system to function without interference from free radicals. Antioxidants support the immune system and can reduce inflammation and can also help aging dogs with memory problems.
Minerals - Copper, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Selenium, Zinc Choline, Calcium and Taurine. Minerals are an essential class of nutrients that must be included in a healthy, balanced diet. Some of the common functions that minerals perform include the formation of bone and cartilage, nerve and muscle function, fluid balance regulation, the transportation of oxygen in the bloodstream and hormone production.
Fatty Acid Fish Oils - Omega-3, Omega-6, Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Fatty acids can help coats look better. Fish oil supplements also can reduce inflammation, according to a study published in the American Journal of Veterinary Research.
Glucosamine-Chondroitin – frequently given to dogs with osteoarthritis. A 2007 study published in The Veterinary Journal established that dogs treated with glucosamine-chondroitin sulfate showed less pain and more mobility after 70 days of treatment.

Take Goodness Gravy on the Road

Our lives are so busy, that we all wish we had more time in our day. We took that into consideration when engineering the packaging system for Goodness Gravy. We looked at a variety of different packaging options, but ultimately decided on convenient individual packets that are similar to ketchup packets.
Here’s why you will love our decision:

• Convenient Travel - we take our dog’s everywhere. If you are going away for a few days, just pop a few packets into your dog’s food bag and you without any trouble, your dog can enjoy Goodness Gravy on the road.
• Portion Control - each packet is carefully measured so your dog is getting the same amount of Gravy every time.
• No Mixing – No powders to mix or measure. No mess to clean up.
• No Refrigeration – Our packet technology creates an airtight seal keeping Goodness Gravy fresh. The airtight seal eliminates the need to refrigerate.

Can’t bring your dog on your road trip? Did you know that a very common reason for a kennel to call is your dog’s refusal to eat? A dog’s separation anxiety often manifest into a leading to a temporary eating disorder. The more “creature” comforts from home the better chance your dog will have a smooth transition. You should also bring enough daily servings of Goodness Gravy for his food to make sure you don’t get that call and have to cut your vacation short.

Goodness Gravy does several ways!

With so many dogs at risk of developing heart disease as they age, it makes sense to consider how nutrition may play a role in keeping a dog's cardiovascular system as healthy and functioning during the aging process. There are several ingredients in Goodness Gravy that help support good cardiovascular function.   Omega-3 fatty acids have a number of potential benefits including help with heart disease. Omega-3 reduces inflammation and can help protect against abnormal heart rhythms. Our Omega-3’s are polyunsaturated fats found in fish, the preferred source of Omega-3. Flaxseed/flaxseed oil also is high in omega-3 fatty acids but is ineffective for providing omega-3 fatty acids and should be avoided.  We don't use flaxseed oil in our product.   Antioxidant supplements are enzymes, minerals and vitamins that play an important role in fighting free radicals in a dog’s system. Free radicals are atoms of molecules that cause the body to age. Antioxidants slow the aging process and help fight a variety of medical disorders associated with aging including cardiovascular disease. The most common and efficient antioxidants are Vitamin A, C and E, Beta-Carotene and Selenium. All of these supplements are present in Goodness Gravy.   Amino acids are essential to life. Amino Acids act as the building blocks for proteins and are critical to the proper functioning of the body. One important amino acid is Taurine which is found in heart wall muscles, in the retina and brain. A deficiency of Taurine can lead to heart disease.

Yes, Goodness Gravy has them too!

Digestive enzymes for dogs have a dual purpose with their internal system. Enzymes can greatly improve a dog's digestion as well as aiding in the absorption of nutrients (see the connection?). We include:  

• Alpha Amylase - helps with starch digestion
• Cellulase - helps with fiber digestion
• Lipase - helps with fat digestion
• Lactase - helps with dairy digestion
• Neutral Protease - helps with protein digestion

  Digestive enzymes for dogs are essential for improved food digestion and better nutrient absorption. Enzymes are also beneficial to a dog’s overall general health and are essential substances that a dog’s body uses food digestion, fuel production, tissue repair, and more. Better digestion means better overall health with fewer problems such as bloat, gas, loose stools, bad breath and body odor. "It wasn't me it was the dog" will no longer work as an excuse in your house! 🙂   Why do dogs need digestive enzymes? There are two source for enzymes: 1. A dog's body produces its own enzymes, and 2. from their diet. Your dog's pancreas produces protease, amylase and lipase but it's questionable whether it is enough to completely digest food.   Given that, their diet plays an important role in making up the deficiency. However, for food to retain its natural enzymes, it must be uncooked (unheated). Canned and dry food require extremely high temperatures during manufacturing, thus destroying live enzymes present in the food. If the manufacturer adds back enzymes to the food, it is often broken-down further during processing and air infiltration.   We understand the deficiencies that are cronic in the pet food industry. The digestive enzymes for dogs in Goodness Gravy will supplement enzymes lost in the food manufacturing process. Our airtight packets ensure the enzymes survive.

Goodness Gravy to the rescue!

We’ve been told by one of the largest pet hotels that the number one reason a dog owner is called by an overnight facility is the dog won't eat or drink. For some dogs, a night away from the comforts of their own home can be a very stressful transition. Separation anxiety is a big problem for dogs.  They can't comprehend why they are being left behind. The experts recommend providing as many reminders of home as you can to ease the separation stress. Bring your dog's bed, toys and regular food.   If you are feeding your dog Goodness Gravy, add that to the overnight bag.  If you are considering Goodness Gravy, it could just be the one thing that gets your dog to eat or drink and saves your vacation.  The easy to serve individual packets are perfect for this situation.  The single-serve packets make sure your dog gets a consistent amount every time and the gravy stays fresh.  Your dog's caretaker will also appreciate the simple and easy to serve packets.   New surroundings in just one of the many reasons why your dog won't eat or drink. Your dog might be suffering an illness or they might have something in their mouth causing pain. It is important to seek a diagnosis from your vet to help understand the problem. However, some dogs are just plain ole picky without any underlying medical condition. There are several things you can try. Cut back on treats, stick to a regular feeding schedule, make mealtime more fun by playing first, go for a walk before meals, change the feeding situation, or (wait for it) add Goodness Gravy to the meal!   Here is a little known fact. According to the ASPCA a dog needs at least one ounce of water for each pound of body weight per day. There are a few simple steps to help your dog get enough water. Make sure your dog always has a clean bowl of water. When you travel or exercise, don’t forget to bring plenty of water to maintain hydration. Adding a flavor to water is an excellent way to encourage hydration. If you don’t think your dog isn't getting enough water, then try adding some Goodness Gravy to their water. The delicious flavor might just do the trick.
