Product of the Day: Tetraveggie Cichlid Pellets

New from Tetra are Tetraveggie Cichlid Pellets that offer your Cichlids the best of both worlds.

TetraVeggie pellets for Cichlids offer a nutritious diet that is algae enhanced.

Tetra uses a proprietary extrusion technology that allows the combination of concentrated algae along with staple nutrients into a single pellet that does not cloud your aquarium water.

Cichlids, particularily top and mid-water feeding cichlids will thrive with this new blend from Tetra.

Tetra has long been a leader in the nutrition vertical for Cichlids and other aquarium fish – it is no surprise that this economical and innovative cichlid food with algae was designed by Tetra.

We expect it to grow into a top selling fish food product at GregRobert Pet Supplies.

RachelsRobin.com partners with Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind

Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind was created for the exact purpose that is its name. To create and foster unlimited opportunities for blind and partially sighted people throughout Michigan and the world.

This organization, comprised mainly of blind adults who have a passion for blind youth, was created in 1994.

As the presence of the Michigan School for the Blind began to greatly diminish it became apparent that additional mentoring, leadership and education were vital to ensure that the blind youth of today would grow into successful competent blind adults.

Opportunites Unlimited for the Blind has partnered with RachelsRobin.com to raise awareness and funds for Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind.

Keep Fit in the New Year alongside your Dog

So, today you start your diet and/or new fitness routine, right?

If you are like millions of Americans, today is the day.  Many of us resolve to start the new year jogging, jumping, lifting or walking ourselves into a new body.  We propose that Fido becomes part of that routine.  Not only can it help your resolve, it can give your dog a chance at a hot-new-body, too!

If your pup has put on the pounds in 2011, try switching to a low calorie dog food (by advice of your veterinarian of course).  Our favorite is ProPac’s Low Fat Rice and Chicken Meal dry dog food pictured to the right. Low Fat Rice & Chicken Meal Formula reduces fat and calories without reducing the nutrients necessary to maintain optimum health.  And THAT is doubly important if he/she is going to be joining you on walks or runs!

If your walking fast or jogging, we think that a retractable dog leash is the best option.   You can let your dog run a bit freer on long straight-aways and keep him safe by your side when crossing streets or when little kids on bikes approach.  Our favorite retractable leash is made by Bags on Board.  It has a small addition to it that holds doggie clean-up bags, so you never leave home without the ability to clean-up after your dog.  Cleaning up after your dog is a law in many vicinities, states and cities. A role of 12 doggie clean-up bags fits neatly inside.

Finally, don’t forget the low-calorie dog treats.  We love DOG SLIMS by PetAG.  Dog Slims are fortified with vitamins and minerals to aid in your dog’s health and specifically designed for skin and coat care.  They are super low in calories and super-high in the good stuff, so stock up!

The experts always say that starting a fitness program that Hormone Replacement Scottsdale go with a friend helps in the overall success rate – and what better friend is there than your devoted dog!
