Two New AstroBlogs to Share for February Holidays
AstroBlogs are designed to do three things:
- Provide a safe article for you to share with your customers that will not redirect them to an online store or a competitor.
- Give you a conversation starter or a means to further educate them on a health topic related to brands and products you may carry.
- Help you promote either your Astro Offers, Sharing The Love or unique products that can only be found at independent pet shops.
Check out our latest AstroBlog articles that focus on two big month-long pet holidays - Pet Dental Health Month and National Cat Health Month.
February is Pet Dental Health Month
This February, in honor of Pet Dental Health Month, we want to talk about the importance of consistent dental care and share some strategies to keep your pet's teeth clean and healthy.
In addition to regular vet check-ups, toothbrushing and feeding raw bones are two of the best ways to prevent plaque buildup and keep teeth and gums strong and in good condition. Herbal blends, dental chews, probiotics, and colostrum can also be great additions to your pet's dental care routine.
Do you think your customers would like to take a bite out of this article? Is your store enrolled in any of the featured Pet Dental Health Astro Offers? Then click here to read more of this article. If ya dig it, share it. Make sure to include info about your related Offers and offer any of your own tips and tricks for pet dental health.
Top 5 Ways to Improve Your Cat's Holistic Health
February is National Cat Health Month, which is the perfect time to talk about improving your cat's holistic health! Taking a holistic approach to health means coming at it from a variety of angles.
For example, when considering the holistic health of your cat, you might focus on their diet and supplement intake, activity level, the quality and safety of their litter and toys, etc. Taking such an integrated approach to health ensures your pet's continued happiness and comfort throughout their (hopefully very long) life.
It can be challenging to know where to start, so we've provided 5 great tips on how to improve your cat's holistic health below...
