Mission Possible
LAST NIGHT A NEW ACQUAINTANCE CAME OVER FOR DINNER. TOWARDS
THE END
of the evening, after our guest played with our bouncy
14-year-old husky and admired our kitty’s silky
smooth coat, she quietly and somewhat reluctantly told
us about her cat’s chronic urinary tract infections.
After seeing two veterinarians, switching to a “special”
dry food, and trying several rounds of antibiotics, our
new friend was now injecting medicine into her kitty three
times a day. Needless to say, no one was happy with the
situation and she was looking for some help. We talked
for a while about diet, water quality, some preventative
remedies that might help and I gave her a back issue of
Animal Wellness that featured a story on the condition.
She left feeling more informed, empowered, and motivated
to seek other options for her feline.
Afterwards, it struck me that the evening represented,
in a nutshell, what our mission is all about – educating
and empowering people to help improve the quality of life
of their animals.
Now, in keeping with our mission, we’re excited
to be holding the first-ever Animal Wellness Expo at the
Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California – an adoption,
shopping and education extravaganza that will give attendees
a whole new perspective on their animal’s care.
Featuring seminars, demonstrations, an animal wellness
pavilion offering canine massage, acupuncture, dental
care and more, and the latest in natural and animal-friendly
products, this will be an event to remember. We guarantee
that those who attend will walk away feeling twice as
good as when they arrived, as well as more empowered to
have a positive effect on their animals’ lives.
At the same time, we hope the local shelters attending
(75 at last count) will find homes for the 1,000 deserving
dogs, cats, potbellied pigs, rabbits and other animals
they’re bringing with them. For more information,
see our ad on page 43. And if you’re in the Southern
California area, mark June 5 and 6 on your calendar. Help
us make history!
Yours in wellness,
Dana
