Some contend that dog owners frequently look like their pets.

Well, here is one unfortunate resemblance –  just like people, pets face the same problem of over-eating and adding unwanted pounds.

The solution is eating the right foods and consuming plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.  A right-sized, balanced diet to get the nutrients needed to live well is essential for man and beast.

So why is there growing concern over obesity in the pet population?  It’s all about the numbers:  just like the human segment, pet obesity numbers are rising.

People decide what they eat, but it’s people who control what their pets eat.  Out-sized portions of empty, high-caloric foods (including table scraps) can be a problem – yet it’s people who have the say over what their companion animals consume.

Take these three CherryFlex for Dogs customers.  Each receives a daily dose of the tart cherry softgels for maintaining joint health, healthy immune systems and their overall well-being.  Oscar (left) is nine and, like many  miniature dachshunds,  has to be careful of his back and undergoes regular dog massage therapy.   Family members, three year-old Lola, and Bailey, a seven year-old humane society rescue dog is a Labradeagle, and both enjoy CherryFlex strictly for its general health benefits.

It’s important to read labels, and pet foods and supplements are no exception.  Avoid products with fillers, preservatives, chemicals and sugar.  Instead, look for pet foods  that are made with quality ingredients – like CherryFlex for Dogs.

All CherryFlex products are made from whole fruit that’s USA grown without preservatives, artificial flavors or coloring, with only five calories per softgel.

CherryFlex ProSport Shots customers are telling us how much they like the taste and new pouch delivery system.  But the true test is how they feel.

Upper Michigan resident, Jeanne V. from Rumely, describes her experience after taking the ProSport Shots for muscle soreness.  “CherryFlex ProSport has helped me to comfortably enjoy physical activities such as walking, skiing, and biking without heavy usage of over-the-counter medication.”

Time after time, FruitFast has been the first to introduce new technology and innovative products since 1963.  We were the first to offer tart cherry juice to our farm market customers for its health benefits.  In the late 90s, we were the first to offer products using tart cherry powder – something that had not been tried before on a commercial level.  That innovation lead to the eventual development, several years later, of CherryFlex® and our line of fruit softgels.  Not long after, we introduced the first Liquid Fruit Supplement – our thick, condensed fruit liquids that are popular for cooking and mixing, as well as straight from the bottle.  We entered the pet world next when we unveiled CherryFlex for Dogs, a specially-formulated, beef-flavored cherry softgel.  All along the way, we have continued to innovate with input from scientific research and by listening to our valued customers.

We are not at all surprised that this new product is scoring well on all fronts.  CherryFlex ProSport Shots come in a convenient, go-anywhere pouch filled with tart cherry gel.  Perfect for all ages and all activity levels.

It ranks right up there with all our quality Super Fruit products –  we invite you to try it and then let us know what you think.

The Holidays are a time for sharing, so give the gift of health to all the furry friends on your list.

The clock is ticking but there is still plenty of time to enjoy the 50% off pricing on FruitFast’s popular CherryFlex for Dogs softgels through the end of the year.

Made from whole fruit utilizing our proprietary process, including the skin and pulp, CherryFlex for Dogs Softgels without preservatives, by-products or fillers.

Lola loves CherryFlex

CherryFlex for Dogs Softgels have a great-tasting natural beef flavor.  Just ask Lola (right), a three year-old Dachshund, whose owners tell us that she “comes runnin’ when she hears the bottle shake – it’s treat time!”

It’s always nice to get feedback like this from a FruitFast customer:

Miniature dachshunds, better known as wiener dogs, are prone to back problems as they get older. An active lifestyle can be the cause, which seems backwards…but is true. Activities such as running and jumping can have serious implications in a wiener dogs’ health.

Oscar Meyer (pictured on the right), who is 9-years-old, recently paid a visit to a back specialist and underwent an MRI.  Due to disc issues he was put on bed rest for two weeks. The doctor said he was to scale back on his activity level, and he needed a “lifestyle change.”  Oscar has since been taking CherryFlex for Dogs and is back to his old self (not as much running and jumping though, per doctors orders).

Lola, who is not related to Oscar and is now 3-years-old, is also taking CherryFlex for Dogs in an effort to assist in avoiding future complications.

Since the softgels are beef flavored, they think it’s a great treat, and get quite excited when that bottle shakes.

They both still enjoy the beach, and swimming is actually an encouraged activity. Yes, they think they look good sporting their CherryFlex leashes.
