•      VETRACEUTICALS
http://www.myvetra.com/goodscentsdogtraining
Dog food alone does not provide the essential minerals, vitamins, enzymes, probiotics, anti-
oxidants that your dog (or cat) needs.  In fact, most animals are sorely lacking when on a
commercially fed diet.  Because of the high heat extrusion used to produce it, most of the
limited vitamins are “cooked out”.  These supplements are all encompassing in a once daily
dose.  With cancer and other debilitating illnesses on the rise in our animals, supplements
are a must.  We must be proactive in our preventative measures to help our animals live a
long and healthy life.
