To every big dog owner reading this,
Before KovaOne, there was Duke. Ninety pounds of joy who followed us from room to room for eleven years.
Then, slowly, he changed. He stopped meeting us at the door. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at us like they were a mountain. Getting up in the morning took him longer every week. We told ourselves he was just getting older.
We didn't know what it was. We bought the first joint chew we found at the store and hoped. It didn't help, and we didn't know enough to ask why. By the time we understood how much pain he was in, it was too late to give him the years we thought he had left.
We still think about that. Not because we didn't love him, but because we didn't know.
So when Bear and Maple (our new dogs) came into our lives, we promised ourselves we would do better. We read everything we could. We learned that big dogs need doses made for their size, and that most chews are made for average dogs. We learned that consistency matters more than anything, and that you start early, not when the limping starts.
Today we run a kennel full of big dogs. Labs, Shepherds, Danes, Newfies, and of course Bear and Maple. We see big joints every single day, and we know what they need.
That's why we created KovaOne. A chew dosed for big dogs, with every mg on the label. Every dog at our kennel gets theirs every evening after dinner. It's part of our routine now, like the morning walk.
We made KovaOne for the dog we couldn't help in time, and for every big dog who still can be.
If your big dog hesitates at the stairs, takes a little longer to get up, or stops coming to the door, don't wait. Learn what it is. Act early. Give him the years Duke didn't get.
