Optimum Weight Control



Obesity is one of the most common problems for dogs in our society.  Dogs who are overweight typically develop problems with movement, skin irritations, joint mobility, heart and lung function, liver function, bladder function, pancreatic function, spinal flexibility, and many, many more health problems.  Dogs who are overweight feel bad.  They do not feel comfortable with play activities and can often become moody as a result of their inability to properly exercise.   At Possum Hollow we will develop a regular exercise and nutrition program for your dog that will give them back their old bounce and a longer, healthier life.

At Possum Hollow we take the health of  your dog seriously.  Just like people, overweight dogs require exercise in addition to a healthy diet to loose weight.  You have read the FAQs and identified your dog's weight category above. If  you are like millions of other dog owners, your busy schedule simply doesn't allow the time required to condition a dog.  Whether your dog is overweight, underweight or simply out of shape we can help.  Now is the time to do something to correct weight and condition problems, prevent future health problems and put your canine companion on the way to a healthier life.  
Don't wait until your dog's weight leads to other health problems.

Strength and Endurance Building

Dogs are built for motion.  They are designed especially for speed and some for quickness.  No dog is in condition if it is unable to run, trot or at least walk at least a mile in moderate weather without panting.  Dogs that are out of condition are at risk of heat stroke, one of the most common killers of dogs during the hotter months of summer.  Dogs that run or pace along fence lines are especially at risk while their owners are away.  Muscles, tendons and ligaments all benefit from regular exercise.  Heart and respiratory systems all require regular exercise for optimal functioning.  Regular exercise lessens hyperactivity and reduces nervous and destructive energy.  
Let Possum Hollow get your dog in shape and keep it there for you.

 

 

Your dog's diet can determine the course of his or her quality and longevity of life.  Dogs dog not tolerate changes to their diet and therefore need to remain on a consistent nutritional program.  In order for your dog to receive the best possible nutrition for building a strong body and fighting disease naturally he or she would have to eat many times their weight in food and a variety of foods that would be impossible to compile.  For this reason, it is vastly important that high quality foods with high quality supplements make up your dog's daily diet.  Through the choices you make about your dog's nutrition, you can either hinder or support a strong immune system, healthy skin and internal organs, and reduce suffering from allergies.  At Possum Hollow we use only the highest grade canine foods made with all natural, human grade ingredients and oven-baked to prevent bloating and increase nutritional absorption.  We provide only approved nutritional treats by using biscuits and wafers made with all natural, human grade ingredients including glucosamine and condroitin sulfate for strong joints.  Along with this high quality diet we also provide a top of the line general supplement made with all natural, human grade ingredients that include vitamins, minerals and herbs that promote a strong immune system.
Let us help your dog to have a long and healthy life.

   ABOUT FLINT RIVER RANCH DOG FOODS 

 

ALL NATURAL, MADE OF HIGHEST QUALITY INGREDIENTS!  Flint River Ranch (FRR) is made of all natural ingredients that have been determined to be highly digestible and of the greatest nutritive value.  For example, the most popular FRR Puppy/Adult Formula lists it top four ingredients as Chicken Meal, Whole Wheat Flour, Ground Rice and Lamb Meat.  It is also supplemented with twenty-four vitamins and minerals as well as perfectly balanced calcium contents to ensure strong bones.  It contains no harmful preservatives like Ethoxyquin, BHA, BHT or by-products, cheap fillers, artificial colors or artificial flavors.  The content of FRR is so digestible that your dog's system will make use of the food it eats and you actually end up feeding about 25% less! 

All Flint River Foods are formulated to not just meet but to exceed the AAFCO nutrient profiles.  FRR uses only the highest quality ingredients.  The rice is a combination of white (for digestibility) and brown rice (for nutritional value).  The wheat is whole wheat including flour, course-ground and wheat berry.  Corn is not easily digestible for dogs so it is not used in FRR dog foods; however, corn is included in the cat foods since the feline digestive systems digest corn more easily and corn provides important diet benefits. All of the FRR grains are purchased from major commercial suppliers like General Mills -- fully tested and retested when received.  FRR uses only human quality chicken that is hormone free, range fed lamb (no hormones, etc.), and menhaden fish which is optimal for providing many proteins and essential fatty acids.   FRR minerals are chelated which means they are easier to absorb into the system.

Canine Immune System FAQs

Nutrition affects a wide variety of inherited and metabolic diseases.
Dogs with immune deficiencies often have skin problems, develop vision problems, and spend a lot of time at the vet.
Many illnesses associated with aging can be reduced or prevented with adequate nutrition.
Weak immune systems open doors for a wide variety of cancers.
Because changes in diet can upset canine digestive systems, it is very important that the diet contain ALL of the necessary vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc.
Immune deficiencies lead to an inability to fight off almost every kind of disease or dysfunction by breaking down the body's natural defenses.
Immune system and general nutrition boosters can promote a longer and healthier life for your companion.
Even high quality dog food diets (including raw diets) do not provide all of the requirements needed to develop a strong body.
In order to get all of the nutrition your dog needs, he/she would have to eat many times their weight of an enormous variety of foods every day.
Supplements are the easiest, most efficient, and most reliable source of nutrition for dogs.
In 2006, several dogs died from reactions to toxins that had infiltrated a popular high quality dog food.  Several breeders in the eastern part of the United States reported that their own dogs which were taking NuVet immune system supplements were able to fight off the toxins while other dogs not taking NuVet died.

 

NuVet Plus
General Supplement 
and Immune System Booster
Available for Dogs and Cats

At Possum Hollow we work very hard to provide you with healthy puppies and dogs.  Each of our dogs replace several human workers.  They are an integral part of running an efficient farm.  We spend a lot of time training and caring for our dogs and provide the best possible nutrition to ensure a long, healthy life at our sides.  That's why we give our dogs NuVet Plus supplements every day.  These supplements come in a tasty chewable tablet that the dogs like and we feel they are the best supplements on the market today.  Our dogs keep beautiful, shiny coats, strong clean teeth, sharp vision, and strong immune systems.  We use high grade foods and use NuVet Plus to fill in the gaps.  We strongly recommend the use of NuVet Plus for your puppy or dog.  NuVet Plus is designed to combat free radicals and assist in providing your pet with the vitamins, minerals, herbs and antioxidants it needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle into old age.  And the dogs love it!  Just look at the ingredients:
