The holidays mark a time when a ton of pets are adopted, so there are inevitably lots of new furry family members running around. At the same time, New Year’s Resolutions abound for us humans, and many declare it a time of health and wellness, learning new behaviors and doing better things for our bodies.

So whether your pet is new to your home or just wants to participate in your New Year’s health plans, now’s the time to stop by Kriser’s for some wellness essentials.

Here are a couple of Kriser’s Approved must haves, whether you have a new pet or a new resolution.

1. The Puppy & New Pet Training Kit. Created by Brad Kriser with Paul Owens, the Original Dog Whisperer, this kit gives you loads of great tips, tricks and tools for helping train your new furry family member. Plus it has coupons for free grooming services, free food and offers on a variety of other items.
2. Probiotics and Enzymes. By now you’ve heard me enough – every pet should be on a Probiotic. Dogs and cats have shorter digestive tract that we humans do, and as such benefit immensely from something to help break down their foods nutrients and utilize them more efficiently. Some great options include Primal Goat Milk, The Honest Kitchen Pro-Bloom Goat’s Milk. Animal Essential Probiotics & Enzymes and PetKelp Probiotic Formula.
3. Oils. Omega 3 and 6 oils contribute to the function of every major system within your pet’s body, plus they can help make their skin and coat shiny and healthy. For puppies, especially, we recommend a fish oil supplement that can help with brain function and development from a young age. Coconut oil, as well, is a great multi-functional add-on to your pet’s diet, helping make Omegas work better, and providing some anti-bacterial support.
4. Raw Food. You know, the new year is a great time for a new diet, and we highly recommend working some raw food into your pet’s meals. Whether you use frozen raw, freeze-dried raw, or even just a topper like Stella & Chewy’s Meal Mixers, giving your pet something that is close to their ancestral diets is beneficial – and tasty.

Stop in to Kriser’s this month for ideas and suggestions about how to make 2016 the best year yet for your pet. Or just for some New Year’s love and treats.
