Every dog and cat is unique, and sometimes a standard diet may not provide the targeted nutritional support they need. Throughout our Go! Solutions blog series, we’ll explore common concerns such as itchy skin, sensitive stomachs, food intolerances, weight management, and healthy aging. Each blog will take a closer look at how specific Go! Solutions recipes are formulated to support these needs, helping you better understand the role nutrition can play in your pet’s overall health and well-being.
Go! Solutions is a product line built around specific nutritional goals, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. While Go! Solutions may have its roots in British Columbia, Canada, its reach extends far beyond home. As part of the Petcurean family, Go! Solutions is connected to a pet nutrition company whose foods are trusted by pet parents in more than 30 countries worldwide. From North America to Europe and Asia, Petcurean's international presence reflects a commitment to providing thoughtfully formulated nutrition for pets around the globe.
Why does that matter to Brookside Barkery & Bath? Because you don’t have to travel around the world to find it! Go! Solutions is available right here in all nine Brookside Barkery & Bath stores in the Kansas City area, on both the Kansas and Missouri side!
What makes Go! Solutions Skin & Coat care recipes stand out?
Now that we’ve gotten to know the brand a little better, let’s take a closer look at what makes Go! Solutions stand out. One of its key focuses is targeted nutrition, with recipes designed to address specific needs.
When it comes to our pet’s health, we want what’s best for them, which is why we carry a variety of Go! Solutions recipes designed to support their unique nutritional needs. Did you know that foods with ingredients rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like those found in the Go! Solutions Skin & Coat care recipes, helps support hydrated skin and a healthy, shiny coat? Sometimes what we notice on the outside—such as dry skin, redness, itchiness, or a dull coat—can sometimes be influenced by nutrition our pets receive on the inside!
What are Omega-3 Fatty Acids and why does it help?
Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of essential fat that supports several important functions in a pet’s body. Dogs and cats can’t make enough of a certain essential fatty acid on their own, so they need to get them through their diet. Think of omega-3 fatty acids as nutrients that help nourish your pet’s skin from the inside out. They help support the skin’s natural moisture barrier and a healthy inflammatory response, which can contribute to hydrated skin, and a soft, shiny coat.
While there are several types of omega-3s, EPA (eicosatetraenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are especially beneficial because they’re already in a form your pet’s body can use. Unlike some other omega-3s, their bodies don’t have to change or process them into a different form first.
Omega-3 fatty acids are commonly found in marine sources like fish and fish oil, which is why Go! Solutions include ingredients such as salmon and other omega-rich sources in its Skin + Coat care recipes.
