A new line of pet food, available January 2011
Purina is launching a new a new line of pet food available in January 2011. Purina's new line of pet food, Purina One Beyond, is made from high-quality, well-balanced ingredients.
What will pet owners find in this new premium grade food? For starters - real meat. As a matter of fact, meat is the first ingredient. Added to the mix are fruits and vegetables, incluting carrots, apples, tomatoes, blueberries, sweet potatoes and spinach.
What you won't find are corn and wheat fillers. Purina One Beyond is designed to be an all-natural, high quality, flavorful kibble that is free from both fillers and artificial preservatives.
What about the shelter pet angle? Purina One is in the midst of a promotion designed to help feed homeless pets. Purina One Beyond has several videos that share more about their new product, including the inspiration for the food, and how the company is hoping to make a difference.
If you are a Facebook member, you can find Purina One Beyond and the videos at this link. (Go to my FB page - link did not show up here)
Each time one of their videos is viewed, Purina One Beyond will donate $1 to homeless pets in their network of animal shelters. It's an easy way for everyone to get involved and help feed the many homeless pets across our nation.
Purina One has already donated over $162,000. They will continue to make donations up to $300,000 through December 10, 2010.
Please take a moment to view the Purina One Beyond videos and tell your friends and family about the promotion. Everyone has the power to make a difference - it is easy and it gives you a tangible way to make a difference in the life of a homeless cat or dog.
Examiner Note (the author's): My own dog, a German shepherd, was able to sample the Purina One Beyond dog food. I will start by saying that my dog is a food snob. She has been provided with a wide-variety of high quality foods over the course of her nearly 8 yrs of life. To my constant dismay (and frustration) she usually turns her nose up to the offered food in her bowl. Rarely does she dive into her food dish with zest and zeal - however, she was quite enamored with the Purina One Beyond. From the very first bowl, she polished off the kibble - no amendments were needed to coax her through. Lily gives the new Purina One Beyond 2 paws up.
