It’s a liquid supplement you add to your pet’s drinking water to give him greens he can digest.
Matt Israel and his mother, Jane, founded Hitchin Spot, Dogs Bestest Friend, after wondering why dogs eat grass and have digestive problems.
They say Dog-Wa gives dogs — and cats — the nutritional and digestive benefits of fresh leafy greens in a form they can digest. It helps to address issues like gas, bloating and bad breath.
The product is made from cold pressed pesticide-free herbs.
It even meets FDA standards for pharmaceutical products made for human consumption.
The 32-ounce bottle should last a while. The dosage is three parts water to one part Dog-Wa.

Special shows bonds people, pets have
A while back, a woman from Cincinnati, Helen Johnson, the director of events for Queen City Greyhounds, was filmed locally for a special television program.
That TV special, “Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart,” will air on WDTN NBC-2 on Dec. 25 at 2 p.m.
The program highlights the bond people share with their pets and will feature six individuals with very strong animal bonds as well as consumer-submitted stories.
As part of a campaign, sponsored by Nestlé Purina and Kroger, the companies will donate more than $150,000 to animal welfare organizations this year. Locally, donations of $2,500 each will be given to the Warren County Humane Society in Hamilton and the Animal Friends Humane Society in Lebanon.
Pet lovers are invited to share their stories at www.TalesForThePetLoversHeart.com. For each story shared, Purina and Kroger will make an additional donation to animal welfare organizations and all submissions will be considered for inclusion in next year’s special.
Holistic Select earns rave reviews
The only local connection to Holistic Select pet food is that the samples sent to the newsroom were devoured by local dogs.
The food caters to pet owners who are seeking a holistic approach to nutrition.
Holistic Select goes “beyond natural” by building a foundation of premium proteins, fats and carbohydrates and then adding Select Actives, according to literature for the food.
Select Actives are Nature’s Power Ingredients, like enzymes, live micro-organisms, botanicals and phytonutrients.
Well, whatever they put in it, it is one of the samples I have taste-tested that returned rave reviews from all those partaking.
And best of all, it’s available locally at stores like Complete PetMart, Pet Supplies Plus and Petland.
