Dog Supplements for Healthy Structure:
Arenus Steadfast Giveaway

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Did you miss the review yesterday? Please visit it here and learn more about this product which could help your dog protect his joints and soft tissues as he ages or during participation in high-activity fun. When you return, you can enter the giveaway if you wish. Those of you who prefer the sure thing can simply go the easy route and click here to purchase immediately, or use the this Store Locator to find a location near you.

I promised to give you some insight on the flavor and how Tanner and Oliver enjoyed the taste. When I opened the first blister pack, I was surprised to see Tanner come running to see what smelled so good. I'm not talking about a dog food smell, but more of a beef gravy sort of aroma.

I quickly noticed that both boys will eat their Steadfast first, before digging into their kibble, when the Steadfast is placed in the bowl. I'd say that's a good sign that they like the flavor.

Today's giveaway will land a 30 day supply of Steadfast with three lucky winners. You know the drill; simply work the Rafflecopter, making sure to handle the mandatory entries first. Your feedback in the comments section is helpful to my sponsor, so be generous with your comments.

Entries will be accepted through Thursday, April 5 at midnight. The winners will be announced here on the blog late on Friday, April 6.
If the Rafflecopter entry form does not appear beneath my name below, simply click the post title to refresh and it should show up there in seconds. Good luck to you all!

Full disclosure: Samples were provided for Tanner and Oliver to run a trial of Steadfast. We were not paid to review the product or to write about our experiences, nor were we compensated for the giveaway. All opinions are our own. There is no purchase required to enter the giveaway.

Kelley Denz said...: Sadie and Rusty are both seven so I have been looking at different types of joint supplements to start them on. I would love to try these and see how they do on them.; March 22, 2012 at 5:46 PM
Paige said...: My dog is only 11 months old. So far he has had surgeries in each of his shoulders. He had Bilateral OCD lesions in both of his shoulders that he had to have removed. They made it painful for him to walk. He was also diagnosed with hip dysplasia and having OCD lesions almost always means osteoarthritis will develop in time, he is put on joint supplements for life.; March 22, 2012 at 8:40 PM
Danielle said...: Wilson, my 8 yold cocker spaniel, has mild Luxating Patella in both back legs and some arthritis as a result. So we try to keep his weight down, add supplements to his diet and moderate exercise.

cstironkat said...: I give them supplements every day and treats that support bone and joint health too. Exercise is another important part of their lives too, along with a good quality dog bed.; March 22, 2012 at 8:47 PM
Misty said...: Steel takes Ester C every day. She broke her leg, twice, as a pup and she needs the lubrication to make it through the day without limping.; March 22, 2012 at 9:16 PM
Julie Bjerga said...: My 8 year old longhaired dachshund obviously has a long back which is prone to back injuries (although, thankfully, that hasn't happened yet) so I try to lift him up and down from the bed if possible (sometimes he beats me to it) to try to prevent injuries. He also gets Omega 3 & 6 supplements (AllerG-3) for his allergies, which help with circulation, alleviation of arthritis & osteoarthritis, high cholesterol, kidney dysfunction, and even dog aggression which I recently read a study from the University of Connecticut. He also gets a truly excellent senior multivitamin/multimineral daily nutritional supplement (most of the vitamins they add to your dogs' food are denatured (deactivated) by the heat & extrusion process) from the Only Natural Pet Store called Canine Plus Super Daily Vitamins & Enzymes Senior, and both have really helped him maintain his vigor!

Linda Meyers-Gabbard said...: I'm a bad mommy we were giving the girls a supplement then funds got tight and we had to stop.

We do still however feed them the best of foods

I would never ever feed my girl a cheap off brand food that Is not good for them. I don't care how tight money gets. I do without to make sure they get a good food.; March 24, 2012 at 5:47 AM
marybaker112 said...: I have been very lucky that my dogs have not had a problem, even my little girl who lived to 18 years old. I think the fact that I use steps for them to get off and on the furniture has helped to reduce the stress on their joints, and has helped as they aged.; March 24, 2012 at 12:13 PM
Elizabeth Nocera said...: We haven't started giving Nelson supplements yet. I would love to try these! Right no we just try to make sure he eats healthy and gets lots of exercise.; March 25, 2012 at 2:14 PM

Ellen Ross | Ask Away Blog said...: well since i have chihuahuas, they are at risk for breaking their little legs from falling off furniture so i put doggie stairs near all sofas and beds :); April 5, 2012 at 1:45 PM
lilyk said...: We use supplements.; April 5, 2012 at 5:43 PM
Carrie, with Tanner and Oliver said...: Thanks for all your interesting input. I was fascinated to hear how many of you use steps to your beds, and even furniture. Oliver, having started his life in agility classes, is quite eager and happy to jump on and off of my bed. So far no notice of discomfort in this. I'll keep watch; thanks again for everyone's comments.; April 6, 2012 at 10:01 AM
