Small & perfectly formed...

When you own a small dog, you understand that small dogs are really very different from big ones… Small dogs need proportionately much higher energy levels than big dogs; they are more prone to urinary and dental problems (because their small jaws can be over-crowded), and are often renowned for their fussy eating habits.

And now since 1st June, James Wellbeloved has launched a special naturally hypo-allergenic complete dry food just for Small Breed dogs: available in Duck, Lamb, Turkey or White Fish variants, all with rice.

The formulas are more energy-dense than the James Wellbeloved standard adult dog food, and are also very easy to digest. They contain cranberry extracts (widely recognized as an aid to urinary health), anti-bacterial green tea extracts (believed to help keep breath fresh and keep the teeth clean), and they come in a special small kibble, designed in the right size, shape and density.

A great taste also makes sure it’s clean plates all round!

Like all James Wellbeloved foods, you can be sure that it’s a natural, totally hypo-allergenic choice, with a single source of meat protein. They are formulated without wheat, pork, beef, dairy, egg or soya. they contain no added artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. And rice is the cereal of choice for its ease of digestibility.

James Wellbeloved Small Breed Dog Food for adult dogs is available in 1.5kg packs. Usual prices will be from £7.49 per pack (28 days supply), but during the launch period, stickered packs will be available for just £5.99 in all good pet shops, with access to a £2.00 money off online voucher valid against your next purchase.

Scruffts 2010

Scruffts Winner

 

Scruffts is the UK's largest competition exclusively for crossbreed dogs, attracting over 1,000 entries every year.

We are really delighted to be supporting Scruffts, which so many people and their dogs look forward to every year. In our view, a happy healthy dog needs to be fed the best to perform the best – and we’re looking forward to meeting all the contenders this year. Visits the Scruffts website for further competition details and previous winners.

The competition provides great fun for dog owners as well as the opportunity to experience the excitement of competing.

 

There are four fun dog classes to enter:

Most Handsome Crossbreed Dog 6 months – 7 years

Prettiest Crossbreed Bitch 6 months – 7 years

Child’s Best Friend 6 months – 12 years (handled by a young person between 6 and 16 years of age inclusively)

Golden Oldie 8 years plus

 

Judging

Judges take into account the importance of dog training and responsible dog ownership, and will judge the entrants on good character, health and temperament. Rosettes are awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions in each class, and each dog that receives a 1st place is eligible to compete in the final at Discover Dogs, which will take place at the event in November 2010 at Earls Court, London.

 

How to enter

There’s no need to register or enter in advance; just simply turn up on the day at any of the heats listed and you too could dazzle the judges. Entry to each class is just £1 and all the money raised goes to the Kennel Club Charitable Trust to help ‘make a difference for dogs’.

Dogs for the Disabled gets Wellbeloved support

Here at James Wellbeloved, we've always been so impressed by the work that Dogs for the Disabled does, so it gives us great pleasure to announce that we will be partnering with them.

The partnership - announced at DFS Crufts 2010 - will enable Dogs for the Disabled to create greater awareness of its work, and Dogs for the Disabled puppies, dogs in training and fully qualified assistance dogs will now enjoy a naturally healthy James Wellbeloved diet.

One of the UK's most life-changing charities, Dogs for the Disabled trains assistance dogs to help children and adults with disabilites lead fuller, more independent lives.  For some, this means physical help around the house and when out and about, while for others, such as children with autism, it means providing an ever-reliable canine friend to help make sense of a confusing world. Each dog is trained individually to meet its owner's needs, so that it becomes a true partner in life.

To find out more, visit the Dogs for the Disabled website.
