Wellness has come for your pets
They’re frustratingly unaware of it, but my two dogs, Jerry and Juno, enjoy nice things. I don’t lavish them in bespoke raw pet food or designer dog clothes, but Juno, a deranged hell-goblin who just turned one year old, often gets a stick of dried Himalayan yak cheese (usually $8 a pop) to keep her occupied inside her crate. And Jerry, a beatific senior lab mix, takes a glucosamine tablet ($9.99 per bottle) with each morning meal.

PetCareRx
Several years ago Lou was diagnosed with cancer. Blake, being the loving, caring and concerned pet parent that he was and is, put all his attention and resources into the treatment of Lou's illness. It turned out that significant resources were needed--7 pills for Lou's treatment cost $700. Blake was willing to do whatever it took to help Lou, but soon discovered the wholesale cost of the same pills was only $.07 per pill. Blake founded PetCareRx in 1998 to help other pet parents get the medication their pets need at a reasonable price. Nearly 14 years later, Lou's memory lives on.
