| What's New At Sojos?
This month we're featuring our first ever Pet of the Month. We will be highlighting a pet of the month each month, both in our newsletter and on our Facebook page.
Meet Charlie, February's Pet of the Month.  Charlie is a rescue from South Los Angeles. When Charlie was rescued he was dirty, underweight and had severe skin issues. Charlie's foster dad began feeding him Sojos Original and Sojos Grain Free Fruit & Veggie mix with pork, beef and fish added in. Charlie's skin has completely healed and he's back up to a healthy weight. His energy has returned and because of it, he enjoys his dog park visits immensely!
See our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sojos/100210990057533) for full details regarding the Pet of the Month submissions. We can't wait to see who will be March's Pet of the Month!

Calcium & Phosphorus
Calcium and Phosphorus levels are a hot topic in the pet nutrition world. Both are necessary to  maintain your pet's overall health, but there are many numbers that get thrown around out there without explanation, making it a confusing topic. Calcium is required for bone formation, blood coagulation, muscle contraction and nerve transmission. Phosphorus helps oxygen get to tissue, it changes proteins, fat and carbs into energy and in conjunction with calcium helps to form strong bones. In fact, the correct ratio of  calcium and phosphorus is what helps calcium to be absorbed properly by the body, and in turn used to its fullest. The ideal calcium to phosphorus ratio is 1.4:1, and our foods are all formulated to be at that ratio (as fed, meaning for our Original mix and Grain Free mix you have to add in the correct amount of meat to reach that ratio). Incidentally, bones are made of calcium phosphate. This means that both calcium and phosphorus are necessary to maintain proper bone health. Too much of either one results in poor absorption and misuse of the nutrients. |
Sojos Q & A 
Q: Why do we recommend rotating proteins?
A: Rotating proteins is important for three reasons. First, proteins have amino acids that are unique to each protein type. Varying the protein allows your customers' dogs to get a variety of amino acids in the their diet which supports optimal wellness over time. Second, serving the same protein can contribute to the development of allergies, which can cause uncomfortable itching and even digestion issues. Third, variety is the spice of life. This is true for dogs as well (in fact all mammals). Mammals are designed to consume a range of different foods and obtain different vitamins, minerals and amino acids from them. These changes can give them the variety their bodies were designed to thrive on. With the introduction of our new Sojos Beef, you can now rotate the meat source while using our Complete diets with the meat already in the bag.

"My 9 year old lab has had a chronic stomach problem for years. Before I switched his diet to Sojos he was vomiting daily, had no energy and was pretty much a mess. After spending one week at a vet hospital in MA with no answers, I took him to a holistic vet who recommended Sojos. It was close to a miracle. Within 2 months, his stomach problems had disappeared, his energy level has tripled, and he looks terrific. Thank you for making such a great product. It makes me think a lot of the health problems we experience with our beloved pets may be based in nutrition."
