Local Pet Stories: A Dog's New Knee Local resident Kelly Nuzum recently shared a story about her dog Roscoe with Ark Country Store employee Austin Arms. Kelly Nuzum of Red Oak, Texas and her ten-year-old dog Roscoe are two
peas in a pod. Roscoe was abandoned as a pup, left outside the door of a
local dog grooming business. A friend told Kelly about the pup and
soon "Roscoe" became part of the family.
Friendly and playful, Roscoe spent his days swimming in the pond and
running around their property. One day Kelly noticed he was limping and
favoring his left hind leg. A trip to the vet discovered that Roscoe
tore his ACL and would need surgery to reconnect the ligament to the
knee. The surgery repaired the ligament, but left Roscoe with a knee he
could not bend, and a limp that was treated with daily pain
medications. Without the medication Roscoe would return to limping.
Last year, during a visit to a Home & Garden Expo, Kelly meet
Reggie Underwood, a Purina Mills feed dealer and owner of Ark Country
Store in Waxahachie. Reggie encouraged Kelly to try Exclusive Chicken
& Rice Senior Formula for Roscoe's knee problems. The added
glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate included in the formula could assist
the joint problem.
Within 2 months Roscoe was off the daily pain medication, bending his
knee and back to his frisky, younger self. "He's a new dog," says
Kelly, "back to running around the yard and swimming in the pond." Kelly no longer buys pain medication for Roscoe, instead he has an
assortment of "toys" he chases down the hall and around the house. He
happily retrieves and lies easily at Kelly's side with his knee in a
bent position. "Changing feeds changed Roscoe's life," says Kelly. She
continues to feed Exclusive Chicken & Rice Senior Formula to
Roscoe, "because it works."

Coming soon: The Power of Pink
 Ark Country Store and Purina are thinking pink this fall as they gear up for their first ever
Pink 50 Campaign, an effort to unite animal lovers everywhere and raise
awareness and support for breast cancer research.
This fall, more than 50 fundraising events will be held by Purina retailers
nationwide in an effort to encourage communities to take action against
the disease.
Additionally, Purina will be turning its top animal feed packages pink, and plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from every pink bag sold to
breast cancer research.
Ark Country Store is rolling out the "Power of Pink" campaign in conjunction with Purina Pink 50. Look for "Pink" contents, and an additional donation by the store to a local Breast Cancer research group on every "Pink" item sold in the store during October.

Vacation Watering Tip
| If you are going on a trip for a few days and are concerned about your
container plants surviving in the heat without you there to provide
their daily drink of water, here is a technique that may be helpful.
Find a spot with some morning sun or full shade (depending on the type
of container plants). Set a small plastic wading pool in the area and
put your container plants in the pool. On the day you leave water the
plants and put 2 or 3 inches of water in the pool. Toss in one of the
floating mosquito control products containing B.t. (available in garden
centers and online). This should keep your plants in great shape for a
week or so.

Horse Nutrition Tip
| Recent research as well as testimonials from riders and trainers
indicates that feeds containing a blend of energy sources (soluble
carbohydrates, fermentable fiber and fats) provide a "steady" level of
"cool" energy for the competition horse. The digestion of fermentable
fiber (such as beet pulp) and fats does not produce the immediate effect
on the horse's blood sugar level, therefore blunting the glucose and
insulin responses compared to meals high in starch and sugar. Therefore,
diets that are higher in fat and fiber than conventional grain-based
diets may help "smooth" the horse's energy level, which may also provide
a "calming effect." Horses on such diets appear to be more controllable
and manageable, have more mental focus and have the mindset to perform. |
