You may have noticed that the Eukanuba Healthy Extras has a new look~ what hasn’t change is the great taste your dog will still love, just like Lily the Pug!

Lily’s owner, Tina from Eukanuba, says “Lily doesn’t care what the packaging looks like, as long as it’s Eukanuba Healthy Extras”  When asked if Lily has turned down any of the treats since they are coming from the new packaging “No, Lily isn’t one to turn any kind of food down!”  Sounds like a Pug to me~

Here is Lily enjoying her Eukanuba Healthy Extras Puppy:

The family is dressed in their favorite Cincinnati Reds Jerseys.  You picked up hotdogs and peanuts on the way in.  You head down the aisle to your seat, only to see this:



At that point you realize, baseball has gone to the dogs.  Literally.  The was the second year for Eukanuba Bark in the Park where 550 dogs were invited to join their owners in taking in America’s favorite pastime.

Starting about 2 hours before the game, all of the dogs got to hang out in the Fan Zone:

There were several contests, one being ‘Best Dressed’ and the winners were…

Rosie & Nuxie!

The highlight to a lot of the owners was being able to parade on the field before the game with their furry four-legged friends.  Many ended up on the jumbrotron too!

Ceremonial First Pitch?  Nope.  Ceremonial First Fetch:  Here is Eukanuba, V.P. of Canine Communications at The Iams Company with the ball!

Then, it was time to sit back and enjoy the game:

Now, what is the burning question most people ask about all of the dogs at the ball game?  Where do they go to the bathroom, of course?!  Every year we have The Pet Butler on site to help with any ‘clean up’ needs!

Here is a look at the new packaging you will start to see for the Eukanuba Puppy formulas!

All of us here at Eukanuba are very excited about the new packaging coming soon!  One of the biggest dog photo shoots in P&G history took place to get fabulous pictures for our bags.  You asked and we listened to what you wanted.  Here is just a taste of what is to come:

• Significantly improved look to our packaging
• We are changing the way we set up the packaging in stores to make it easier for you to find the food you need for your four-legged friend!
• We have pictures of the kibble on all the bags now- you asked and we listened!

You will start to see the new packaging after August 2010.  Stay tuned for more information on the packaging changes!
