Be Proactive To Help Keep Your Family Lice Free (NAPSI)—The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 12 million chil-dren get lice annually. Children can be exposed to head lice during school out-breaks, playdates, sleepovers or camp. You would be hard pressed to fi nd a school district that doesn’t see at least one case a year. Siblings and parents are at risk if a child is being treated. If you or your children have potentially been exposed, specialists recommend a lice protection product to eliminate uncertainty and begin killing any stray lice before an infestation can take hold. Lice symptoms include scalp itching and a visible rash behind ears and on the nape of the neck. Signs of infesta-tion, if they appear at all, manifest two to four weeks after lice have arrived. During this time, children are sharing lice with others before any infestation is detected. Here are some tips that can help if you think you might be facing these un-welcome guests: • Examine your child’s head under bright light for tiny tan-gray bugs and their eggs (which appear as white sand grains strongly attached to the hair shaft near the scalp). If seen, use a lice treat-ment product immediately. • If you don’t see signs but suspect exposure, give yourself peace of mind by replacing your family’s daily sham-poo with a lice protection shampoo for two weeks to kill adult lice and those that hatch. • Effective lice protection shampoos kill the lice rather than just repel them. This ensures you quickly eliminate lice you may have missed before they be-come an infestation or spread. • Pesticide-based products should not be used as a preventive measure. Look for nontoxic and pesticide-free alterna-tives as multiple exposures to synthetic pesticides is not recommended. Seek lice protection products that

are proven to kill lice, such as safe, nontoxic Vamousse Lice Prevention Shampoo. Its innovative, pesticide-free formula helps keep your family lice-free by killing lice before an infesta-tion is identifi ed. Made in the U.S., it’s safe for daily use by the entire family

(including those as young as 2) during periods of exposure risk. For an active head lice infestation, there’s Vamousse Lice Treatment. For more information, visit:

5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“Government Accountability ” -by Bob Perry As promised, with this and numerous articles to follow, you will be receiving ideas and encouragement on how you can take action that will reduce voter apathy with a way to hold elected of-fi cials accountable for any shortcom-ings. What I am proposing is for ordi-nary citizens like you and me to hold all elected representatives in a legal way that would stand the scrutiny of our Supreme Court. The way our government has evolved it is apparent that the vision of our fore-fathers has not been followed. Their vision was for local and state govern-ments to create laws and govern them-selves with a federal government that was limited in their responsibilities. Things changed. Our federal govern-ment has and continues to create laws that steal authority from our states with little or no fi ght from the states. Nota-bly there is a serious lack of responsi-bility on the part of the Supreme Court as they are not providing oversight in making sure laws created by Congress are constitutional. The 10th Amend-ment to the Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, states that ‘the federal government possesses only those pow-ers delegated to it by the states or the people‘. This was declared a truism by the Supreme Court in 1931. Seemingly we will be unable to hold the Supreme Court accountable but we surely can hold all elected offi cials accountable. The government of the United States of America is a democratic republic and as such it is a commonwealth which denotes that all involved have a say. A commonwealth is a political system in which supreme power lies in the body of citizens who can elect people to rep-resent them. ‘We the people’ are the source of all governmental power and ’we the people’ need to create laws that claim powers that are rightfully ours. We have powers that are ‘unclaimed’ and we can and must ‘claim’ them. Political action is required and it needs you and any organization desir-ous of righting the governmental ship that is more and more being steered by special interest groups of all kinds, with those interest groups exerting a greater infl uence on legislators and laws than we the electorate deserve. Be clear that all political parties are special interest groups and the action that is needed will affect their infl uence. It has been my observation including

interaction with elected legislators, that virtually all legislators and executives violate their oath of offi ce and we all know they are not held accountable. We can do that! Legislators think they know best and we observe for example the ‘campaign fi nance laws’ they have created and we can, and do,need to fi x that. We can! Elected offi cials are our em-ployees and as such they have forever been using a ‘license to lie’ but they do not have this unethical right! We can stop the lying by holding them account-able. Lets do it! Today we can make formal complaints to the Depart of State in each state. This is about ‘state’s rights’ as well as ‘vot-ers’ rights’. In order to accomplish all I have noted and more, we need to create laws which the complaints will force the state to fi le suit at the state level to resolve the complaint, and to hold the offending offi cial accountable. With legislatures at both the state and federal level seemingly incapable of ’minding itself’, we must do it! The key lies in the ability and the willing-ness of ’we the people’ to create law by creating initiatives (propositions), get-ting the required number of signatures, and getting the initiatives on the ballot of a general election. The work needs to start NOW in or-der to get the initiatives on the ballot for the 2016 election. Note that numerous initiatives have succeeded in various states and it is time for ’we the people’ create targeted initiatives to ’right the ship’. States vary in the creation of initia-tives by placing some restrictions but I assert initiatives would fi nd protection as a fi rst amendment issue. I encourage all who read this article to have others follow the proposals that will follow in subsequent Journal issues. Look at the following article from 2012 in the Pennsylvania INDEPENDENT: http://paindependent.com/2012/11/commentary-whats-missing-from-pennsylvanias-ballot/ The time has come!

We attended the fi nal season perfor-mance of Everything Glorious, pre-sented by The Praise Team & Friends, January 4tb, at the Emanuel Lutheran Church in Bradford. There we photo-graphed members of the group before and during the performance, and took plenty of videos throughout the event. While we’ve heard these singers before, it’s always a pleasure to hear the melody, harmony, and choral gymnastics (dynamic symmetry) allowed for by the many varied, seasoned and practiced voices of this choral group. While the videos don’t do justice to the performance we’ve captured enough to give the viewers an idea of the complex-ity of the music, and the versatility of the singers……..Remember that the Nation-ally acclaimed Madison Rising Patriot-ic Band and others including localites Lyndsey Niegowski and Rick Griesbaum and his Friend or Faux Band will be per-forming at the Bradford Vets Club Event Center this Saturday, January 10th. Stop at the VFW, Cavallaro’s, or the Bradford Chamber offi ce for tickets in advance……While it’s nice to see prices for gasoline dropping, it would be nicer still to see them back where they belong, at about $1.50 per gallon. Since improvements in the local economies across the nation seem to be directly correlated to a drop in the price of oil and the subsequent drop in cost of gasoline, in an effort to keep the prices falling, we would go as far as call-ing for a moratorium on trading in the oil markets to keep them from being artifi -cially infl ated through derivative activity. Not only should this improve our econ-omy, but we should also consider that as the price of oil drops, income supplied by oil to renegade terrorist groups around the world will decrease. In other words, such a moratorium, beyond its therapeutic ef-fect on our economy, could be considered as a big move toward a stronger national defense……..Dr. Albert Schweitzer not only espoused the philosophy of “rever-ence for life, ” he actually lived it with a lifetime of service to relieve pain and suffering, testing the conscience of all men. And because of this, in 1952 he re-ceived the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s hard to believe that President Barack Obama, the man who continued to support the funding of the U.S. war machine, allowed prison camps to remain open (continuing to deny the rights of a constitutionally established habeas corpus), and was the top military commander responsible for the assassina-tion (rather than capture and trial) of Osa-ma Bin Laden, would also receive a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. What a difference 57 years has made. What has happened to the meaning of the word, “peace”!

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESResetting Your Life For Retirement

-by Jason Alderman The phrase “downsizing for retire-ment” is popular with Baby Boomers, the youngest of whom turned 50 last year. It sparks a conversation about transi-tion, which may include buying fewer new things, selling, gifting or donating posses-sions that are no longer needed and relo-cating to smaller quarters to create a more comfortable and affordable retirement. If you’ve diligently saved and planned for retirement, most experts say you should do this “fi nal approach” three to fi ve years before your planned retirement date. If your retirement fi nances aren’t as stable, it’s smarter to start the transition as early as possible while time is on your side. The Demand Institute, a nonprofi t think tank founded by business research giants Nielsen and The Conference Board, re-ported last October (http://www.deman-dinstitute.org) that if the 2008 crash and its effect on employment, investments and housing prices had not happened, the typi-cal Boomer household would have a net worth roughly 2.5 times what it is today. This all the more reason for many Americans to review and possibly “reset” their retirement clocks. Here are some suggestions to help you fi gure out where you are on the pre-retirement spectrum and some changes you might consider: Get a retirement checkup. Spend some time with a fi nancial, tax and/or estate advisor to evaluate your current strate-gies and set – or reset – a reasonable re-tirement savings goal and date. Consult friends and family for reliable experts fi rst and for other qualifi ed professionals and check online with your state CPA society, the Association for Financial Counseling Planning and Education or the Certifi ed Financial Planner Board of Standards. See if moving makes sense. Great re-tirement destinations offer more than great weather, inexpensive housing and an affordable tax environment. Consider whether you want to be near family, a thriving arts community or superior health facilities. Where do you start? You’ve probably seen popular lists of retirement communities in leading magazines, and they supply good food for thought. Na-tional agencies like the Council for Com-munity and Economic Research (https://www.c2er.org) produces an annual cost of living index for over 300 U.S. urban areas. Get realistic property valuations. Even in a rising economy and recovering hous-ing market, many homeowners need a re-ality check about real estate prices. The same likely goes for other valuables like antiques, jewelry and art. For real estate, get a broker valuation and do online back-up checks with property transfer listings over the last year or two in your area. As for valuables, check appropriate markets

(from professional dealers to eBay) to sell, gift or donate those items and get tax and/or estate advice before all transactions. Clarify your tax picture. If you make a huge profi t on your home, you may owe taxes on the sale. Current IRS rules allow most couples to exclude up to $500,000 in home sale gains from their taxable income and singles to exclude up to $250,000. Check with your tax advisor and con-sult IRS Publication 523 (http://www.irs.gov/uac/Publication-523,-Selling-Your-Home-1), “Selling Your Home.” Also, keep local property taxes and city and state taxes in mind if you’re considering

an out-of-state move. Decide what you plan to do post-retire-ment. Retirees may have at least 20 to 30 years of lifespan to fi ll post-retirement. If you’re hoping to keep working, start a business or transition permanently into travel or leisure activities, these future goals have to align with your current re-tirement plan. Bottom line: Everyone should set a “fi -nal approach” for retirement. That means reviewing your investments, lifestyle goals and the possibility of a post-retire-ment career so you can adjust your money behavior to match.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDENew Palliative Care

Resource Center

(NAPSI)—Palliative care helps pre-vent, manage and relieve the symptoms of cancer and the side effects of can-cer treatment, but too few patients with cancer receive this essential extra level of care. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the world’s lead-ing professional organization of doc-tors who provide cancer care, aims to change this and has launched an online Palliative Care Resource Center that provides a wide range of information and tools for physicians and patients. In addition to treating physical issues that may accompany cancer and can-cer treatment, such as pain, fatigue and nausea, palliative care also focuses on supporting a patient’s emotional, spir-itual and practical needs—and those of a patient’s family and caregivers. Anyone, regardless of age or type and stage of cancer, may receive pal-liative care before, after and during treatment. Talking about palliative care soon after a cancer diagnosis helps pa-tients better understand their prognosis and goals of treatment, clarifi es their expectations, and maintains their qual-ity of life. ASCO is committed to facilitating the integration of palliative care into standard cancer care and will continue to offer support and leadership for vari-ous initiatives that will help ensure that every patient with cancer has access to this important part of a cancer treat-ment plan. ASCO’s new webpage offers a com-prehensive library of palliative care resources for physicians and features videos, podcasts and other materials for patients provided by ASCO’s patient website, Cancer.Net.

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: How do pumpkin, winter squash and sweet potatoes compare nutrition-ally? What are healthy ways to prepare them? A: Pumpkin and winter squash (including acorn, butternut and hubbard) are in the same plant family, and their nutrient content is similar. As with sweet po-tatoes, the deep orange color of pumpkin and winter squash signals that they are very high in compounds called carotenoids. In laboratory studies, carotenoids function as antioxidants and aid in controlling cell growth, which could mean they help reduce cancer risk. Human studies link higher consumption of foods containing carotenoids with lower risk of some cancers. All three vegetables are also packed with potassium, which seems to promote good blood pressure con-trol. All are good sources of vitamin C, too, with sweet potatoes containing the highest amounts. Sweet potatoes are richer in natural sugars and starches than most vegetables, making them higher in calories. One-half cup of sweet potatoes has about 90 calories compared to 30 to 40 calories in one-half cup of pumpkin or winter squash. Many recipes with these vegetables include so much butter, margarine, sugar or syrup, they become quite high in calories. However, those additions are not necessary to enjoy their wonderful fl avor. For a quick-and-easy way to boost nutrients and color to your meal, add puréed frozen or canned winter squash or pumpkin to soup, stew or even smoothies. (Just be sure the canned pumpkin is pure, unsalted pumpkin and not sweetened pumpkin pie mix.) Cubes of fresh squash, pumpkin or sweet potatoes are delicious in stir-fries and stews, and mix well with many different fl avor combinations. All three choices are also terrifi c roasted in the oven, either alone or with other vegetables, drizzled with just a bit of olive oil; and you can cook them by steaming as well. Q: How important is it to warm up and stretch before exercise? A: Warming up before exercise is very important for people of all ages to re-duce the chance of soreness or injury and to prepare your cardiovascular system for exercise. Older adults and those who have been inactive should be especially sure to make time for this vital element of physical activity. You can do a slow and easy version of whatever type of exercise you’ll be doing as your warm-up, whether that means walking, swimming, dancing, tennis or working with weights. Pay special attention to warming up when exercising outdoors in cold weather. Even if your body as a whole feels warm, make sure the muscles in your arms and legs, which may be exposed to the wind and cold, have moved enough to feel warm. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, muscles are more elastic and ready to be stretched when they are warm, so warm up fi rst and then stretch. As one option to stretch the muscles you’ll be using, simply move them through the full range of motion you’ll be using during your exercise. Another option is called a static stretch; you gently stretch each muscle you’ll be using to the point of feeling slight tightness, and then hold that position for 10 to 30 seconds without bouncing. In addition to the pre-exercise warm-up and stretch, the cool-down and after-exercise stretch are important. Take fi ve to ten minutes of low-intensity move-ment to help your body settle back down to its normal state. Then while your muscles are loose, general stretching with focus on the muscles you just used will decrease chances of muscle soreness, and help improve and maintain the fl ex-ibility that makes all life activities easier. Try these fl exibility exercise from the National Institutes of Health SeniorHealth website that show twelve major mus-cle areas which all benefi t from stretching regularly, from neck and shoulders, through back, arms and each area of the legs.

Boomers Pursue Business Ownership Over Retirement (NAPSI)—Small businesses create jobs, help sustain communities and are a driving force behind the U.S. econ-omy. What you may not know is that many take the leap to business owner-ship as an alternative to traditional re-tirement. In fact, 62.2 percent of almost 1,000 small-business clients surveyed by Guidant Financial are 50 or older, with the highest percentage of new entrepre-neurs between the ages of 51 and 58. Why are many baby boomers leav-ing corporate America—or postponing retirement—and turning to business startups? According to the survey, ap-proximately 10 percent of respondents cited not being ready to retire or com-ing out of retirement as their primary reason. For others, dissatisfaction with the corporate lifestyle or position, or fulfi lling a lifelong entrepreneurial dream, drove the change. Many of these entrepreneurs started their “encore” career with the help of a fi nancing option called ROBS, or Roll-overs as Business Startups. ROBS let prospective business owners leverage existing retirement assets to fi nance a business or purchase a franchise free of tax penalties. ROBS can also be used with traditional funding options, such as SBA loans, for supplemental fi nanc-ing. For many who have trouble securing necessary business fi nancing, ROBS

can help make the startup dream a re-ality, and can be especially attractive to those who have spent a number of years in a corporate setting acquiring

the assets and expertise to make their startup a success. To learn more, you can call (888) 472-4455 or you can visit:

A Little Knowledge Can Make A Big Difference (NAPSI)—When it comes to pinpoint-ing potentially serious issues with your vehicle, your nose may know more than you realize. For example, the smell of burnt toast might be a sign of an electrical short. The smell of rotten eggs may signal trouble with the emissions system, which includes the catalytic converter. These and other tips are included in “Knowledge Is Power,” a booklet that’s part of a car-care and maintenance clinic developed by ACDelco. It gives vehicle owners easy-to-understand information about their vehicles so they can be in-formed and make the right choices when they visit an independent auto service center. Here are some things you may not know about your vehicle: • Reddish stains on the driveway can be a sign of a transmission oil leak. • If your technician asks if your vehi-cle’s brakes are “grabbing,” he wants to know if the brakes engage suddenly when you apply steady pressure to the brake pedal. • You should pull over immediately if your temperature light reads in the hot zone. That probably means your vehicle’s coolant is too hot to cool your engine. • Many brake pads have wear indica-tors. If your vehicle has them, they will

emit loud squeals when they detect wear. • It’s a good idea to write down your vehicle’s symptoms before visiting a re-pair shop, including noises—and whether these occur when the engine is hot or cold. • Air bags work with your safety belts, not as a replacement for them. • Children under 13 should ride prop-

erly secured in the rear seat. • Always keep at least a half tank of gas in your vehicle to avoid potential damage to your fuel fi lter or fuel line. • Check your tire pressure frequently for safety and fuel economy. Hot and cold outside temperatures affect the pressure in your tires. • Avoid oil and fuel additives unless recommended by your ser-vice consult-ant. • Don’t use dish detergent to wash your car; it can hurt clearcoat fi nishes. The “Knowledge Is Power” booklet is part of a presentation kit available to shops at no charge. Consumers can download the free booklet at www.acdelco.com/pdf/Car-Maintenance-Car-Care-Knowledge-Is-Power-ACDelco.pdf. For more than 100 years, ACDelco has been supplying parts, technical train-ing and business expertise to independent auto ser-vice centers.

Expert Advice on Enticing Kids to Eat Their Fruits and Vegetables (NAPSI)—As many parents know, kids can be picky eaters. And according to a recent study, moms are concerned that their kids aren’t eating enough fruits and vegetables. “We found that moms understand the health benefi ts of fruits and vegetables but struggle to get their family to eat them,” said Elizabeth Pivonka, Ph.D., RD, presi-dent and CEO, Produce for Better Health Foundation. “Today, Americans are cur-rently eating less than half of the recom-mended cups of fruits and vegetables each day.” To better understand the situation, the Produce for Better Health Foundation conducted its annual research on “Moms’ Attitudes and Beliefs Related to Fruit & Vegetable Consumption.” The study found: • Ninety percent agree that a diet that includes fruits and vegetables may help their child avoid obesity. • Ninety percent agree that a diet with more fruits and vegetables promotes their family’s overall health and may prevent disease, now and in the future. • Ninety percent agree that a diet that includes fruits and vegetables may help promote well-being of mind and body. • Eighty-nine percent agree that more fruits and vegetables plus more physical activity means the family can be at its best. There’s been a steady improvement over time in the level of ease moms re-ported regarding their ability to access fruits and vegetables for their families at restaurants and quick-service restaurants. Setting out a fruit bowl, having vegeta-bles cut up and ready to eat in the refrig-erator, and fi nding ways to hide produce in other foods are some of the ways to get more fruits and vegetables into a family’s diet. The research also found that kids tend to eat more produce when they are in-volved in the growing, selecting and pre-paring of food. To get kids more involved, Pivonka provided these tips: 1. Let kids get involved in planning meals for the week and challenge them to fi nd ways to make sure a fruit and vegeta-ble are included in each meal. Remember, canned, frozen and dried fruits or vegeta-bles, in addition to fresh, are all great op-tions! 2. Get kids involved in using produce to make juices or smoothies. It can be a fun activity for kids to use a blender or juicer to show them there are other ways to eat your fruits and vegetables. 3. Teach kids about produce that’s in season and how to select the best produce. Take them to a farmer’s market to talk with growers. This also provides a great opportunity to try new produce they didn’t know they enjoyed. 4. Starting a backyard garden can be a great way to get kids interested and in-

volved. Monsanto, through its Seminis Home Garden division, is working to make growing backyard produce more ac-cessible for busy families by creating seed varieties that are easy to grow.

Families looking for ways to incorpo-rate more fruits and vegetables in their meals can go to www.morematters.org to fi nd delicious recipes and additional tips.

To our query, Tonya tells us she made no resolutions for the new year because she would certainly have broken them by now. This was Jordan’s fi rst day back at Fretz Middle School after winter break, and he mentioned that he was too busy thinking about fi nishing homework assigned before vacation, to worry about resolutions.

New Pets For Today’s Kids Are Digital (NAPSI)—It started with the Boomers. A science experiment in schools to teach students responsibility, (or a simple scare tactic), known as The Pet Egg. Many actu-ally enjoyed caring for their eggs, and the Pet Rock was also born. For thousands of years in fact, kids of all ages have loved to nurture and play parent with baby dolls and the like. And moving on to Generation X, the eggs mentioned above were often replaced by bags of fl our and more life-like crying/peeing baby dolls. Now a full-fl edged tra-dition across the country, kids, as part of their health ed class, often have to take care of an egg, (or something) for a few days or weeks, caring for it like a child or pet. If the egg is broken, failure is immi-nent. This commitment to teach children the value of nurturing continued to evolve both in and outside the classroom, and in the 90’s Bandai introduced the Tamagotchi “virtual pet,” a hand-held electronic pet egg for Generation Y (Millennials) to feed, grow, and nurture. Tamagotchi became a massive phenomenon and more than 80 million units have been sold worldwide since then. So where does that leave us today in the world of the virtual pets and nurtur-ing playthings? As you may have guessed, all roads lead to digital. It turns out that Generation Z (Digital Natives) are just as interested in this play pattern as genera-tions before; but now are caring for their pets via smart phones and tablets. Enter Talking Tom and Friends. With more than 230 million active users each month, the app franchise introduced in

2010 has skyrocketed to success with 14 apps (soon to be 15). These apps for any smartphone or tablet by developer Outfi t7 Limited, have been downloaded a whop-ping 2 billion+ times worldwide and, the characters from which, have gone on to enjoy success on YouTube, have licensed merchandise available around the world, and now have an animated series and movie in the making. My Talking Tom was launched in 2013, letting fans adopt their very own baby kit-ten, name him and make him part of their daily lives. The app allows pet parents to interact with Tom like never before. Feed him, play with him and nurture him as he grows from a cute kitten to a fully-grown cat. Like the Tamagotchi before it, Tom teaches responsibility as he requires con-stant love and attention from his digital parent. The fun that every tween/teen is looking for! What is especially great about today’s virtual pet is that, unlike before, each is personalized to their player. This year, My Talking Angela is the newest kitty up for virtual adoption when the app launches on the heels of Tom’s virtual pet success, just in time for the holidays for new tablet/smart phone owners. Like Tom, you can adopt My Talking Angela as a cute kitten, (nurture her, feed her, brush her teeth), and help her grow into a stylish city kitty. Not really a pet anymore, but more like a fashion-savvy superstar-a new BFF! Dress up My Talking Angela in the latest fashions and the cutest costumes, and give her the most amazing hairstyles. Make her home beautiful and feed her delicious

treats. Play games together, collect cool stickers to trade with friends, and much more. The My Talking Angela app is free and available on all platforms including Android, iPad, iPhone, and more. Kinda makes that egg look rotten.

Supporting Your Pet’s Liver Health (NAPSI)—Many may be surprised to learn that a disease commonly associated with humans can also put your dog or cat at risk. Fortunately, there are management options. Experts say that liver disease can affect pets of any age. The liver is the body’s larg-est internal organ and has many essential functions. It makes bile—which is used in the digestion of food—and produces en-zymes, hormones, proteins and other sub-stances. It also fi lters waste products in the bloodstream. Signs of liver disease can be nonspe-cifi c and may include vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, jaundice, poor attitude and increased thirst/urination, among oth-ers. If your pet is showing any of these signs, be sure to contact your veterinar-ian as soon as possible. Diagnosing liver disease involves an examination and lab-work plus, potentially, X-rays and an ul-trasound. Management Options Management depends on the specif-ic issue, but no matter what the issue is,

your veterinarian may recommend a sup-plement to help support your pet’s liver health. For instance, the s-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) supplement Denosyl® can help by increasing levels of glutathione, an an-tioxidant and the liver’s main detoxifi er. It’s also thought another option, Ma-rin® liver health supplement, can help provide support and protection. It contains silybin A+B (actives from milk thistle ex-tract) and vitamin E; Marin for Dogs also contains zinc.

S-adenosylmethionine may be recom-mended to support brain health, too, es-pecially in senior dogs. Both Denosyl for Dogs and Marin for Cats and Dogs are now available at Petsmart. Denosyl liver health supplement for dogs and cats and Marin liver health sup-plement for dogs and cats are from Nu-tramax Laboratories Veterinary Sciences, Inc., the maker of Cosequin® joint health supplement.
