Expert Tips to Support and Celebrate Aging Pets

YourUpdateTV

Many pet owners struggle with the reality of their furry friends aging. Dr. Stacey Bone, veterinarian and senior pet advocate with Hill’s Pet Nutrition recently talked about the importance of embracing, not fearing, this natural process and how proper nutrition and care can help pets live bold in their older years. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/nhs96_Yu3Uc According to a 2019 study by The American Animal Hospital Association, 80% of pet owners do not realize the age at which their pet is considered a senior pet – which is typically age 7. Just like humans, pets’ biology changes as they age, but getting older doesn't have to make life any less exciting. Pet parents fear aging, because “getting old” is associated with slowing down and losing the spirit and vibrancy that makes their pets special. The fear associated with owning a senior pet can potentially lead to inadequate care for senior pets, resulting in health issues and decreased quality of life. There are attainable ways to support your senior pet’s changing needs. Knowing how to best care for your pet – from tailored nutrition for senior pets to regular veterinary care - can help pet parents continue to experience a full life together.   Tailored Nutrition for Senior Pets Hill’s Pet Nutrition is raising awareness of the unique nutritional needs of senior pets and how important it is to switch to a food designed specifically for seniors, such as Hill’s Science Diet Senior Vitality. The right nutrition can help senior pets live life to the fullest, so it is important to transition your pet to a senior pet food that meets his or her needs. Hill’s Science Diet Senior Vitality is made for older pets’ changing biology, including balanced minerals for heart and kidney health, omega-6 fatty acids and vitamin E for healthy skin and coat, and easy-to-digest ingredients to support digestion. Hill’s Science Diet Senior Vitality improves senior pets’ everyday ability to get up and go. It features nutrition that can help support the brain function, interaction and overall energy and vitality of your senior pet. In a clinical study, pet parents observed increased affection and stamina in as little as 28 days when their pets ate Senior Vitality dry dog food. The best food for aging pets is one formulated to keep up with their changing nutritional requirements. Talk with your veterinarian to ensure your dog or cat is getting the right nutrition at each lifestage.   Encouraging Senior Pet Adoption There are many animals in shelters across the nation who need homes, and some of the most overlooked pets include seniors. Hill’s Pet Nutrition is encouraging people to consider opening their hearts and homes to a senior pet in a shelter. Senior pets tend to spend the longest time at shelters and are often viewed as unadoptable based on the misperception that they likely have behavioral issues. In reality, many of these animals were companions to elderly people who passed away or moved to an assisted living facility. Only 25% of senior pets get adopted, compared to a 60% adoption rate for younger pets, according to the ASPCA. Puppies and kittens are cute, but they also need a ton of extra attention and training. On the other hand, senior pets are overflowing with love and their laid-back personalities make them perfect for lots of different homes. Along with expert care from shelter staff, quality nutrition can play a vital role in helping shelter pets be healthy, happy and more adoptable. That’s why Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love program provides science-led nutrition to hundreds of shelters across North America, helping more than 14 million pets find new homes since 2002. For more information, visit hillspet.com and search ‘Senior Care’ to learn more about care and nutrition for senior pets. About Dr. Stacey Bone: Dr. Stacey Bone brings over 16 years of expertise to his role as a small animal veterinarian, where he currently serves both as a relief veterinarian and as a senior brand manager at Hill's Pet Nutrition. Within Hill's, he is part of the Prescription Diet marketing team, driving the company's strategic vision in the U.S. market. With a heartfelt commitment to geriatric pet care, Dr. Bone focuses on areas critical to the health of senior pets, including advanced nutrition, comprehensive disease management, and the importance of preventive care. That passion led him to found a company dedicated to creating products that address the unique issues of senior pets. His work is characterized by a deep understanding of veterinary science, coupled with genuine care for his animal patients. Dr. Bone is an advocate for educating pet parents about the impactful role that nutrition plays in senior pet health: “Most pet parents do not like to acknowledge that their pet is getting older, but celebrating aging, rather than fearing it, can help those animals live long, full lives. In partnership with your veterinarian, it is important to transition your pet to a senior pet food that meets his or her needs. Providing age-appropriate nutrition supports overall energy and mobility and can help pets live life to the fullest.” Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

Wellness And Dietary Supplement Company Safety Shot Reports Bringing World's First Patented Rapid Blood Alcohol Detox Solution To Market

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga The last nine months have been busy for Safety Shot (NASDAQ: SHOT), a developer of over-the-counter and prescription-grade health and wellness products based in Jupiter, Florida. The company launched its eponymous beverage – Safety Shot, a groundbreaking drink that alleviates the effects of alcohol – in the third quarter of 2023. Since then, Safety Shot has been actively building its business and market share. What Makes The Safety Shot Beverage So Unique? The Safety Shot beverage’s makers share that it’s a proprietary blend of natural ingredients carefully crafted to reduce blood alcohol levels. It is a holistic solution designed to support liver and brain function and to swiftly alleviate the effects of alcohol consumption. There are certainly other “hangover cures” marketed as treatments for overindulgence. While some are herbal remedies, others include large amounts of sugar. Still others rely on caffeine, which science suggests may be unwise. It is a reliance on science that makes Safety Shot’s solution unique. While other “remedies” may relieve some of the symptoms of alcohol consumption, they do not address its harmful effects. Safety Shot says its patented formula is a precise combination of nootropics, vitamins, amino acids and minerals formulated to support the maintenance of muscle and brain function. Backed by extensive research, Safety Shot accelerates recovery because it helps the body process alcohol more efficiently. This provides liver support by reducing alcohol absorption. Safety Shot also helps restore the central nervous system, cognition and the motor cortex. As such, it can improve mental and physical well-being. Academic research published by the National Institutes of Health has shown that some of the ingredients in Safety Shot can “improve the brain’s supply of glucose and oxygen, have antihypoxic effects, and protect brain tissue from neurotoxicity.” Safety Shot Is Addressing A Chronic Problem And A Huge Market Opportunity According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 178,000 people die from excessive alcohol use each year in the United States. To address a component of this chronic problem, Safety Shot is developing a concentrated form of its functional beverage platform that could be used to treat alcohol poisoning in hospitals and other emergency settings. “With 52 million people rushed to the ER each year due to acute alcohol consumption, we believe that prescription-grade Safety Shot could be used in a variety of settings,” said Dr. Glynn Wilson, Safety Shot’s Chief Scientific Officer. At the same time, the company remains committed to the booming global consumer market for hangover cure products. That market is estimated by Zion Market Research to reach roughly $9.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 14.5% over 2023-2032. More than a third of that total will come from the United States. Recent Distribution Deals Translate To Nationwide Availability In May, Safety Shot entered into an agreement with GoBrands, Inc., the company that owns online consumer goods and food delivery service GoPuff. "We are thrilled to launch Safety Shot with GoPuff, a company with millions of monthly shoppers, offering a unique and reliable experience for customers nationwide," said Josh Wagner, Safety Shot’s Chief Revenue Officer. The national reach of GoPuff is augmented by its regional retail distribution strength. The company owns BevMo!, which has stores throughout California, Arizona, and Washington. Its Liquor Barn subsidiary puts Safety Shot into more than 20 stores in Kentucky. Within weeks of announcing the GoPuff deal, Safety Shot also entered into distribution agreements with major distributors such as Capital Drugs, Prime CSB, Mr. Checkout and BM Distributors. The deals expand Safety Shot’s footprint in key markets. The BM alliance puts Safety Shot into stores throughout Southern California and gives it an immediate presence in Las Vegas, where it reaches a core tourism audience. According to Josh Wagner, Safety Shot's Chief Revenue Officer, the Prime CSB opportunity opens up “two high-volume regions that make up a significant part of our overarching Northeast expansion efforts.” Furthermore, the Capital Drugs agreement gives Safety Shot shelf space in 300 drug stores across the United States and enhances the brand’s identity as a functional wellness beverage. At the same time, the company is working on expanding its B2B sales strategy by working with restaurants and bars (and the distributors that service them) to expand Safety Shot’s availability. The Safety Shot Team Includes Leaders In The Wellness And Dietary Supplement Industry Safety Shot, which was built on a foundation of robust clinical data, has added a number of key executives to its management team and advisory board. Among them is David Sandler, the company's Chief Operating Officer, who has over three decades of experience in the health and nutrition industry. David J. Long, the CEO and co-founder of Orangetheory Fitness, has also joined the company’s Board of Directors, as has newly appointed CEO Jarrett Boon, who has more than 30 years of experience creating and growing successful businesses. The Honorable Jack Brewer, M.Ed., a White House Presidential Appointee and Former Ambassador, joined Safety Shot’s board in 2023. Safety Shot Continues To Build On A Solid Foundation In addition to its recent distribution pacts and management appointments, Safety Shot has also enlisted a number of celebrity influencers to help promote the brand. These include record-breaking pro skateboarder Danny Way, Multiplatform Entertainer Matthew Espinosa and mixed martial artist Jorge Masvidal. Additional funding for Safety Shot’s operations and promotional efforts was recently secured through the successful private placement of a pure equity investment from private institutional investor, Core 4 Capital Corp. Safety Shot raised gross proceeds of $5 million in the arrangement, which company management says will help it create its own product category – rapid alcohol detoxification.
