Holistic Pet Supplement Company Launches
Nationwide Campaign to Help Animals in Shelters
Scottsdale, AZ (June 15, 2004) When it comes to pets, people are returning to basics and checking label ingredients for harmful chemicals. This is confirmed by a 2003 survey that revealed “51% of pet owners are switching to more natural foods and products for their pets.” So it comes as no surprise that a “chance” encounter with a dog gave birth to By Vets Only, Inc., a one-year-old holistic pet supplement company.
With a mission to help pets lead the greatest life possible, effective products have been formulated that contain high quality, non-toxic and human-grade ingredients. Before release, these products are tested and endorsed by veterinarians, and through biochemists and toxicology experts.
According to company founder Bobbie Jo Swartz, witnessing a pet in pain can be devastating. Millions of dogs and cats are miserable and unable to enjoy the most basic activities. But pets don’t have to slow down just because they’re old and in pain. Veterinarians and consumers have seen amazing improvements in the behavior of pets with severe pain, with the release of Petaprin™.
The supplement was developed by a medical doctor and approved by veterinarians as a safe, viable alternative to over-the-counter pain relievers, and even some chemical-based prescription remedies with known side effects. It has been clinically tested and proven to provide effective relief from joint and muscle pain, arthritis, hip dysplasia, and age-related pain.
Pets can remain an active part of the family even into their senior years. “When you consider that 65% of the nation’s pet population is over five years old,” Swartz said, “it’s no wonder our products are becoming a hit.”
In keeping with their mission, By Vets Only is launching a nationwide campaign to help homeless dogs in shelters find the family they deserve. These stressed animals often experience separation anxiety and upset. As a result, they may not present well to the public for adoption. Pet owners purchasing any Value Pack which includes a free Shelter Buddy Bottle will be asked to enter the name, address and phone number of the shelter in the “comments” section of the order page. At the end of each week the company will donate the Shelter Buddy Bottle to that particular shelter. Swartz hopes that the free PetaCalm™, which is a proven stress and calming remedy, will help dogs at shelter become more adoptable and more quickly find a loving owner and happy home. To order Petaprin and receive a free bottle ofPetaCalm go to or call 1.800.805-1846.
