The tragedy in Japan has left many of us speechless.  We have been able to account for the safety of all P&G employees in that region.  As a Company, P&G has committed up to $1.2million in support for Japan tsunami and earthquake relief including monetary and product donations.

P&G Pet Care has activated the Friends for Life Fund to give pet lovers everywhere the opportunity to donate towards the pet aid relief efforts in Japan.  P&G Pet Care will match all donations received through April 30th or up to $50,000.

This potential $100,000 donation towards pet aid relief is in addition to the 1.2million already committed by P&G.  100% of the donations through Friends for Life will benefit the non-profit animal welfare organizations that have been affected by this natural disaster in Japan.

Are you looking to add a furry four-legged family member to your family?  Then stop by your local PETCO this weekend, October 16^th & 17^th as they host National Adoption Weekend at all of their stores!

“National Adoption Weekend is a weekend where we [PETCO] invite local shelter partners and adoption agencies to showcase pets in need of homes in PETCO stores across the country.  This weekend allows our organization to stand behind the soul of our brand, the Think Adoption First philosophy.”

PETCO will roll out the red carpet for future owners as they have local shelters and rescues on hand with adoptable cats and dogs.  Eukanuba is sponsoring this event and each adopter will receive New Pet Welcome kits that include care guides and valuable coupons.

Contact your local PETCO for more information, times and details.

This is Paul Raybould, executive vice president of Morris Animal Foundation. Our goal is to Create a Healthier Tomorrow for Animals. Talking about healthy animals, meet Kobe (2 years old) and Celia (5 years old), the red heads in my family. My wife, Susan, and I have had Irish setters for the past 20 years. Our dogs have been our friends, working dogs and canine soul mates. Kobe and Celia are retired show dogs and love nothing better than running in the off-leash area of a Colorado state park that abuts our home in Denver, CO.

We have fed our dogs many different types of dog food over the years and about six months ago, we switched Kobe and Celia to Eukanuba Adult Maintenance diet. We also mix in Eukanuba wet food and feed Eukanuba treats. We were really impressed with the switch with respect to the improved condition of their coats, especially Celia’s. Celia’s coat started to come alive within 2-3 weeks of switching her food from another premium brand*—it was a shinier, deeper red and her mild skin flaking was gone. She looks like a puppy again. Woo-hoo, Eukanuba!
