The Life Of Willow & Ripple

Let's get started with Willow, who is a 9-year-old Golden Retriever, her Birthday is Sept 22. Her Mom and Dad were both unregistered goldens that had a rendezvous one night and gave birth to 11 healthy pups. Willow was born in Niagara Falls Ontario Canada.

My friend at work showed me one of the pups that she was getting and right away I asked if she could text and see if there were any more females available. We had lost Storm a few months ago and was looking for a companion for our girl Raider. Thankfully there was a couple of females still available, so we went right away to look………well you know how that story goes!!!!!

Willow ( at the time not knowing her name or that she was one of the females available ) she met us right away with front paws over the gate. Once the owner said that pup was available, we knew right away she was meant for us.

Willow is one of the most loving, gentle, playful, silliest dogs we have had as part of our family. She is always smiling and will bring an instant smile to anyone who crosses her path. Willow absolutely loves people over other dogs and is always ready to accept a hug.

Willow over the years has given us a couple of scares, one when she had a blockage after eating a friend's cats stuffed mouse and the second a few years ago on our way home from Colorado ( unless we are flying our dogs travel everywhere with us ), we stopped just outside of Kansas City for the night. After eating her dinner, I knew right away something was wrong with Willow, her stomach had turned.

If a positive came from this horrible scary night, was the vets we encountered were incredible. They were beyond fantastic and of course saved Willows life. Willow pulled through this like a champ and continues to live a healthy vibrant life.

Everyday Willow warms our hearts with her energy and love. As well onto others, as her and her sister Ripple ( her story will follow ) belong to Therapy Tails. It is an organization that with your dog(s) visit all kinds of institutions, from dorms at universities/colleges to old age homes. Sadly since Covid we have not had any visits but man the joy this brings to individuals is simply amazing.

Willow has many quirks but one is her middle of the night belly rubs. She tends to sleep just outside our bedroom door and if she knows you will be walking past her, she rolls over for a belly rub!!!!! As a pup Willow was not allowed stuffed toys as she thought she was a neurosurgeon and pulled out the stuffing from any head that crossed her path. So needless to say she is not allowed toys but enjoys chewing on her bones.

She will never say no to any kind of food but Cheese, apples and pizza is right up there on her list.

I know you hear this from every owner because every dog is unique and gives us that unconditional love, a love that only a dog could offer. I have had many dogs in my life and cross my path but Willow is truly a special girl. It is hard to really put into words the energy that she carries with her and shares with us and others.

I cannot pinpoint one or two favourite things about Willow, she offers comfort and love that I feel is unique to her. If you were standing with a dog or several, she would bypass them all and snuggle right close to your leg and give you the warmest smile and look that you could not help but give her love and a hug in return. Her energy smiles all day long……………..

As a pup Ripple looked like Butterscotch Ripple ice cream with her coloring, hence the name Ripple. She is 3 years old with her Birthday on July 12.

Ripple was born near Guelph, Ontario, Canada and she came into our lives soon after we lost our girl Raider. Ripples Mom was a pure Cocker Spaniel who had a rendezvous with the neighbours Sheppard X. She had 5 pups, ripple, and her sister were still available when I made the inquiry.

Without any thought we went and looked at both pups, ultimately Willow picked out her new sister. Ripple came home with us that same day and since then has been part of our family.

Ripple is extremely unique in her features, with fuzzy toes, a tail to long for her size, ears that are to cute and you cannot resist her big brown eyes. She certainly has a mischievous personality and loves loves loves to play with other dogs. She enjoys playing fetch be it frisbee or ball and before Covid was doing agility courses and was very good at it. Ripple is a very athletic, agile dog.

Ripple is very loveable but does not enjoy hugs but will take a belly rub anytime.

Ripple has an absolute love for Socks………she will sniff out a sock from the bottom of the laundry or from on top of a bed. She will collect them and sleep with them. When I get home from work, she nibbles at my feet, I cannot take my socks off quick enough for her. As well she will enjoy a game of fumble sock all on her own……….yes she is very entertaining.

Ripple like Willow is part of Therapy Tails and as well unconditionally warms people's hearts and brings a smile to your face.

Ripple is a bundle of energy and has simply fulfilled our hearts with laughter and love.

I came across Best Paw Nutrition when I started doing some research to better my dogs health. We always strive to give them the healthiest life possible. I was looking for a product that would supplement their diet with Omegas.

So I decided to give it a try. Once on it and I would say it took a couple of months to notice but their coats are soft and supple. Anyone who gives them love always comments on their coat and its softness. As well I feel it has also helped with Willows's mobility and energy level. She runs hard and plays without showing signs of stiffness the next day.

I do give a glucosamine supplement as well but I have been thinking to try your product since I have been very pleased with the Salmon Oil. As well not only does your product speak for itself but your customer service is simply fantastic.

What pawrents are saying about us...

I would highly recommend their products!!!!

I weaned him off the meds and began using the Pure Alaskan Salmon Oil, and eventually added in their Pure Digestion. I had been back and forth emailing Alex (their nutrition expert) who helped me get my dog off kibble and on onto human food. Since then, my dog no longer scratches, or has allergies, his fatty cysts are shrinking and almost gone, and all the lost hair has grown back. This all happened in about a month or so. The company bends over backward to help you in any way they can. I can't boast enough about the company and their products!

Helpful and easy supplement

I am a veterinary technician and I feed my animals a raw/ wholefood based diet. I'm always looking for supplements to keep up with their health. I had a case of the itchies for my 5 mo old bulldog and my 12 year old jack mix. I started using this salmon oil and after about 2 weeks the itching subsided after consistently giving it to my dogs once a day. My bulldog pup weighs 40lbs and my jack mix is about 13lbs. This bottle lasted us a month or so following the dosing amounts on the bottle. It has a convenient pump and I kept it in the refrigerator. Very easy to use and my dogs live for this stuff!

Wonderful results!

I’m so incredibly happy at the results from just 1 months use(2 pumps per day). My bulldog couldn’t sit comfortably because of a very sore knee joint, he would get up barely putting weight on it and had a constant limp. Decided to try this and within a few weeks, I noticed no more limp, putting full weight on his back leg, sitting comfortably again. He now has his daily “zoomies” crazy run in the backyard jumping up & down, rounding the trees and how much easier he’s going up & downstairs. No doubt this product is the reason why. It’s such a small price to pay to keep your best friend healthy, happy and mostly pain-free! They’ve got a customer for life!

2 Happy Pups!

I have 2 pit bulls and was weening them off of their "crunchy" dog biscuits because the ingredients aren't that healthy. I haven't been able to find a healthy crunchy alternative until these arrived. "OMG", is what my dogs were saying after the first bite! These are like dog crack!! Yes, they smell fishy. Yes, they're a little pricey. They are well worth the money and peace of mind knowing I'm giving them something healthy. After watching them act like addicts the first night, I ordered a 2nd jar right away. This will be part of their continued diet.
