Support for the Aging Pet Brain
As our pet’s get older, their brains age along with their bodies. In the same way that they may need support for their joints or kidney function, a supplement for cognitive health could greatly improve quality of life.
Herbal Supplementation
Brain Awake by Animal Essentials is one such supplement. We love to promote Animal Essentials at Lovable Pets. The company started out in Montana and we have sold their products for many years. We get excellent feedback on the efficacy of their herbal supplements from our customers. Our staff also use many of these products regularly.
