Message from an Angel
From Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from My Dog
By Amy Soscia

When we open our hearts, angels appear in the form of guiding voices, helping us find our way in the darkness of life.
~Paulo Coelho, Brida

It had been nearly two years since Nellie, my first Westie, had passed away after a long illness. The following Christmas, my husband Paul gave me a handmade gift certificate good for one puppy of my choice.

June 1 is National Skincare Day. When we think about skincare, we often focus on our own routines — but our pets need healthy skin, too. This National Skincare Day is the perfect time to shine a light on the important role nutrition plays in keeping your dog or cat’s skin healthy and their coat looking its best.

Just like humans, a pet’s skin serves as a protective barrier against the outside world. When their skin is healthy, it helps prevent irritation, dryness, and sensitivity. A soft, shiny coat isn’t just about appearance — it’s often a visible sign that your pet is feeling good from the inside out.

One of the most effective ways to support skin and coat health is through a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. Our recipes are crafted with carefully selected ingredients designed to nourish your pet through every stage of their life.

High-quality proteins help support strong hair growth, while essential fatty acids — like omega-6 and omega-3 — play a key role in maintaining skin hydration and promoting a shiny coat. Added vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E and zinc, contribute to overall skin health and help protect against environmental stressors.
