For the past few months, I have been experimenting with Shiva’s diet in an effort to find something with the right balance of nutrition for her active lifestyle . It doesn’t matter at all to me how much she weighs or what size she is as long as I know she is healthy.
It has been difficult trying to sort through all the information, though I am impressed by how many different options are out there. Luckily Shiva has guts of steel and a willingness to imbibe anything I put in front of her. It makes playing around with varieties much easier and less stressful.
One of the things I didn’t realize before I started this quest was the large amount of supplements there are for dogs. I have long been curious about the efficacy of vitamins and detoxifying tablets for humans and when I discovered health food companies have branched out to include pet products, my curiosity strengthened. Like a true dog lover, my own health is not nearly so interesting to me as my dog’s.
Even with all the reading I have done, I remain unsure. Is there such a thing as a “super food”? Do things like antioxidants really increase one’s health?
Around this same time I was approached by Sun Chlorella USA about the relaunch of their line of pet treats called Rejuv-A-Wafers.
According to the website, Reju-A-Wafers are a supplement for dogs and cats that contain Sun Chlorella and Sun Eleuthero, a whole good green algae. These ingredients are said to be “super foods” that help purify pets of dangerous toxins and chemicals. The beta-carotene enhances health and helps improve the appearance and overall health and well-being of your pets.
It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Have you ever tried supplements like these before? Have you found them effective?
If you would like to try something like this to see if it helps your pet, I have some good news. Sun Chlorella USA has offered to give a month’s supply to one lucky reader!
All you have to do to win is leave a comment on this post by Sunday, April 15th. It’s that simple. I’ll perform a random draw and announce the winner next Monday.
Good luck!
I’ve never tried any sort of supplement before. It’s quite a confusing situation, to determine the healthiest and most appropriate feeding of our best friends!

I’m always in search for healthy things for my pup. He eats mainly organic, home cooked food and I’ve been looking into supplements to give him an extra boost. He went from a sickly lyme positive, food allergy stricken pup to an extremely active healthy pup. So much so that I can’t keep up with him!

Full disclosure – I came not for the wafers but for that picture of Shiva. That is soooo cute!

I see so many supplements claiming so many wondrous things, it makes me doubt a lot of them. I have no doubt that some of them can do a lot to improve some dogs, but I think most of them are overstated in their supposed benefits.

We have tried many supplements for Cali – currently, she takes a joint supplement and we are certain that it works because she moves much more slowly if we run out of them! It is hard to know for sure what works and what doesn’t isn’t it??

I have never heard of these supplements. We do give a pet tab, but that is just vitamins and minerals.

I haven’t tried a supplement like that for Gwynn – though I have started giving him coconut oil. I’d be interested in trying, though – hopefully Shiva has some positive effect from it.

OK, here’s what i really wanna know: do they make shiva extra shiva-y? when i was reading up on these things, one of the alleged effects of/uses for Sun Eleuthero is increased energy. it came across as seeming almost like an energy drink for dogs (and i don’t mean that in a red-bull-chemicals-will-kill-you way), which is definitely NOT something desmond needs. i’m really curious if you see any changes in shiva’s energy level.

I have always wondered about supplements like this, I guess a lot of it comes down to the dog’s actual chemical makeup. I would love to give them a go, the only thing I have ever have seen really make a difference in Luna’s coat is a raw/frozen green tripe mixture made by a local company here. If you use these with SHiva do keep us posted, I bet it would really help with allergy relief too. Luna would eat anything you hand her, and since she eats grass often she probably wouldn’t mind these either. Sometimes I throw some chlorophyll capsules in her food, makes for some interesting colors out the other end.

My Parent’s have been using Sun Chlorella for years & nothing “super” has happened to them. But then again, you know how I feel about natural/homeopathic products.
