For the past ten years, many of you have walked your dogs with our Gentle Leash. It has saved many dogs from serious injuries that lead, without exaggeration, to poor health. A gentle leash made dogs feel good and it also protected your shoulders and injuries from sudden pulls and jerks.
You may have heard me saying that one jerk can cause a lot of damage, which is true about leashes and life in general.
When Dawn, the maker of the Gentle Leash retired, we had a choice of making it even better. It took us over a year to find the right partnership that would meet our highest product and environmental standards. Natural dyes, alpaca and sheep wool, handmade by a women's group in Peru.
A few days ago, I finally got to hold the new Feel Good Leash in my hands, and also showed it to a few people. I was so happy to see their eyes lighting up as soon as they touched it. The reaction was just so sweet every single time.
"Where can I get it? I would so love to give it as a gift."
"Oh my gosh I love that."
Those are the comments that I've heard.
The leash design is made of two layers: the outer alpaca shell, soft and fluffy, and the inner core that increases the strength. The strong inner core is made of sheep wool fibre .
The fact that the leash is shock-absorbing matters more than most people realize. Every sudden pull travels straight into your dog's neck, and I truly believe this leash is going to help many dogs avoid injuries and neck problems.
The Feel Good Leash is coming, most likely in early December, just before Christmas. So if you're putting together your holiday list, save a few dollars for it. I can't think of a better gift for a dog or a dog parent you care about.
Now, here's what we've been up to this past month.
THIS MONTH'S READS
A closer look at omega sources
We talked about omega sources again mainly because so many people still don't understand the difference between fish oil and other sources. Fish oil isn't what I use for my patients or for Pax. Heavy metals, farmed fish and depleted wild stocks are the reasons why.
Vitamin P
You may never have heard of it, but quercetin supports allergies, immunity, joint health and more, for both you and your dog.
The tiny batteries
Why can two dogs of the same age have completely different energy? The answer lives in the mitochondria. Over three emails, I told you the story of the stranger who moved in and never left, and how NMN and MitoBoost help recharge those batteries.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
FleaHex Household Spray
Most people know how harmful conventional flea bites are and this is our little contribution to protecting your dog from harmful and sometimes deadly chemicals. I witness the side effects in practice: seizures, liver disease, neurological disorders, and when you look at the stats, pretty much every conventional flea product causes casualties. I can't stop the organizations from selling these horrible products. That's why I took a different route and brought FleaHex to you.

The Feel Good Leash is coming
And of course, the Feel Good Leash in early December. I'll let you know the moment it's ready. And there will be some great surprises regarding the leash so keep an eye on the launch.
My chiropractor friend, Dr. Lana Patterson, got a chance to feel the leash yesterday and her words were, "That's the best leash I've ever held.” It couldn't make me any happier, and I hope you'll feel the same way.
