In my house, we have our kids along with our fur babies, and over the past few months we have been searching for a new fur baby to add to our family. Like many, we headed to our local shelters and rescues weekly, looking and waiting until we found that one dog or puppy that we all knew was the one we were looking for. Well, a few weeks ago while looking at some of the areas rescues, we came across some puppies, and there was one in the bunch who grabbed our attention. After a family discussion and finding that we were all in agreement, we went back to meet with this puppy again before making the decision to make this little puppy a part of our family. And once she was cleared by the vets and ready to go home, we were excited to pick up, and introduce Nakoma to our family! We also wanted to ensure that Nakoma gets the best start we can give her, so on our way to bring her home, we stopped and picked up a bag of the Now Fresh Puppy from Petcurean.
Knowing how much our senior dog Chloe enjoys the Now Fresh Senior, we were pretty confident that Nakoma would enjoy the Now Fresh Puppy, and we were right! She enjoys her grain free dog food, and also seems to be very happy now that she is an official member of our family! And just like with our other fur babies, we find that turning to the experts at Petcurean for the products that we can use in our home to keep our fur babies happy and healthy is the way to go. So when we heard about the latest trends from this years Global Pet Expo, we were excited to learn more about them and also share the news with our readers! You can read up on the Global Pet Expo Trends 2017 in the info provided by the people from Petcurean below, which you will see includes some of our fur babies favorite products.
Global Pet Expo Trends 2017:
- Limited Ingredient Diets: With the incidence of food sensitivities on the rise amongst dogs and cats, pet owners are looking for limited ingredient diets which can greatly reduce the chance of food sensitivity. GO! by Petcurean, is a complete, nutrient-packed food with zero added growth hormones, by-products, or artificial preservatives, offering a single source of meat protein with as few ingredients as possible to meet the nutritional requirements of dogs and cats. GO! is available in 3 solutions-based categories for dogs and cats with issues: Grain Free recipes, Limited Ingredient Diet recipes, and Preventative Care recipes.
- Pet Tech: If you aren’t familiar with the term “pet tech,” expect that to change. This year at Global Pet Expo there were a growing number of pet products that integrate technology in a variety of ways including activity trackers and video monitors and interactive toys. From the Flitter cat toy, which has an automatic teaser toy with two plastic dragonflies that fly around and around, enticing cats to catch them, to iFetch, an automatic ball launcher that provides endless fun for your pooch – interactive toys are a great option for pet owners on the go or with extra active pets.
- Transparency & Clean labels: As Millennials increasingly expect sustainability, transparency and organic ingredients in their food, more consumers seek to feed their pets with the same standards of quality and excellence that they choose for themselves. Expect to see an increase in products with fewer ingredients, less preservatives, and certifications in the years to come. Petcurean’s GATHER pet food line is crafted from certified, organic, non-GMO and sustainably produced ingredients. Each recipe is free from rendered or genetically engineered ingredients and features a single source, fresh and dehydrated primary protein.
- Pet Cooling Products: Now your pet can beat the heat! There were several pet cooling mats, apparel, and bedding products showcased this year, all designed to keep your pet cool during the hot summer months. Scruffs Cool Dog Mat is filled with a non-toxic gel that keeps the self-cooling mat typically 5-10 degrees cooler than room temperature.Gen7Pets Cool-Air Cot pet bed combines portable convenience, outdoor durability, and pet-friendly comfort perfect for camping or the backyard!

It shouldn't surprise me that along with children's sensitivities rising, pets are also suffering from them. It's great that brands like Petcurean are aware and make products accordingly.
