  Win Steadfast^® Joint Supplement 

   a highly recognized animal health company

Winter does not give our humans the opportunity to run, visit the dog park and take long walks with us dogs like they do in the summertime. Sometimes when we’ve been in the house for a few months our humans notice that we have slowed down a bit. Maybe we’re not getting up or down easily or we have trouble getting in and out of the car like we used to. It happens to so many of us. In fact researchers estimate that at least one in five dogs suffers from poor joint health. 1 in 5?  Yelp!  Joint issues affect dogs of all sizes and ages, large breeds, small breed, young and old.  My 16 ½ year old joints have been on joint supplements for years. Hey how do you think I got to this age?  Well, here’s YOUR chance to WIN a safe and easy-to-use formula to support your dog’s joints, so you can continue to play together.

Steadfast^® Canine is a unique formula for dogs specifically designed to support normal mobility and ease discomfort. Two proprietary ingredients work in combination to provide complete support of healthy joints, hips, cartilage, bones, tendons and ligaments. NEM® is a whole-food matrix of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and amino acids. TêlaFIRM®, an advanced micro-ingredient system of chelated minerals, is designed to support normal bone remodeling. Steadfast Canine is available in chewable tablets and in formulas for both large and small dogs.

The supplement is made by Arenus^®, an animal health company that combines both science and nature to develop innovative health and nutrition products for dogs. Arenus has passed rigorous quality audits and has earned the right to display the National Animal Supplement Council’s Quality Seal on all its products.

Dog Gone Genetics...

Did you know these two are closely related?

As many of you know, I am a former MUTT. When my female human had my DNA done a few years ago, they said I was so far in the mix that not one breed stood out. They saw traces of Akita, Chow Chow, Poodle and ShihTzu. In person most humans think I'm a Terrier of some sort. In fact several actually asked if I'm a Giant Westie! BOL! The DNA people didn't see any Terrier! Huh? WTD (What the dog)? So that's why I'm a former mutt. Mom and I created the first all encompassing breed for mutts. I am a part of a breed!  I'm a GenChan®! That's short for the genetically challenged dog and I certainly am !

So I saw this article on NPR and it pretty much amazed me. It says that us dogs, like the two in the photo, are not far apart genetically at all. Us dogs were all created from a very few dogs from waaaaay back when.  Well whoever they were let's toast to our ancestors big or small with good or bad breath! BOL!
