Watkins Health Tips - #24

Dog Days of Summer

Did you know that a dog's sense of smell is up to 10 million times more sensitive and acute than humans? No wonder they like to stick their nose into everyone else's business. Their sense of smell is so amazing, they can detect skin cancer long before it's diagnosed, and they can even identify prostate cancer by sniffing urine samples. They can often sense seizures and potential health disasters by recognizing a change in bodily scents, and their ability to sniff out bombs and missing people is another enormous benefit--you might say it's their contribution to anti-terrorism. At Watkins, we know how important your pets are, and we're committed to providing the very best products for you and your pets. Our Botanical Pet Shampoo contains natural ingredients that leave your pet's coat healthy and shiny, and our Vanilla Dog Bone is a great alternative to rawhide bones. Your pet "nose" the difference when you use quality products, and using something of less quality is simply barking up the wrong tree.
