Taiwan’s First Propuree™ Protein Puree: A New Era in Pet Health Supplements
As Pet Health Supplements Become an Everyday Essential, How Can Palatability Create a Competitive Edge? The global pet market is witnessing two major trends: supplements adopting more food-like formats and treats becoming increasingly functional. Pet owners today expect more than products their pets are simply willing to eat. They are increasingly looking for products that provide daily nutritional and health support while also creating an enjoyable feeding and bonding experience. According to market research sources such as Packaged Facts, approximately one-quarter to one-third of pet owners show strong interest in squeezable paste-format pet treats and pet health supplements.
What Is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Dogs and Cats? How Can You Detect It Before Symptoms Appear?
"My pet eats normally and seems active. How could a routine health check reveal kidney disease?" This is one of the most common questions veterinarians hear from pet owners. The biggest challenge of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in dogs and cats is that it often develops silently. Because the kidneys have remarkable compensatory capacity, pets can continue living normally even after a significant decline in kidney function. As a result, many owners do not notice any abnormalities until their dog starts drinking excessive amounts of water, urinating more frequently, losing weight, or showing a reduced appetite. Unfortunately, by this stage, kidney damage has usually been progressing for quite some time.

However, many pet owners do not realize that the true value of fish oil lies not in the oil itself, but in the Omega-3 fatty acids it provides. EPA and DHA are the key nutrients responsible for most of the health benefits associated with fish oil supplementation.
