Adding cherries to your dog’s diet can help hips (NAPSA)—Good newsfor dogs and their people. Long walks may soon be more comfortable for both—thanksto a surprising fruit. Research at Michigan State University’s Bioactive Natural Products and Phytoceuticals Lab- oratory found tart cherries are not only loaded with antioxidants, but they may help avoid discomfort by supporting the body’s normal inflammatory response associated with daily exercise andactivity. Functional dog chews and baked treats containing tart cherries have been shown to promote healthy hips, bones and joints. These findings led to the development of new, all-natural, func- tional soft chews and bakedtreats for the active canine. Overby Farm worked closely with university experts and practicing veterinarians to create Hip Bones—The Original Cherry Dog Treat, Hip Bones, Jr., and two soft chewable products: Hip Flex and Hip Flex Feline. They feature whole tart cherries, tart cherry concentrate, ground flaxseed, ginger, cinnamon, glucosamine and calcium in all-natural recipes support- ing healthy hips, bonesandjoints.
