WHOLE DOG JOURNAL RECOMMENDS

Organix® and Natural Ultramix®

Named to 2008 Dry Dog Food Feeding Guide

Organix Recommended 5^th Year Running & Natural Ultramix Recognized First Time!

Organix and Natural Ultramix Canine Formulas from Castor & Pollux Pet Works met the high standards to qualify for inclusion in Whole Dog Journal’s 2008 Dry Dog Food Feeding Guide. A highly respected authority, Whole Dog Journal’s annual list determines many dog owners’ choice of food for their four-legged best friends.

To be listed in the annual feeding guide, Whole Dog Journal has very rigorous requirements that include:

• High quantity of quality animal protein source

• Whole grains and vegetables

• Organic ingredients

• No meat or poultry by-products

• No unidentified fat or protein sources

• No added sweeteners, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives

Transparency is Key

For the first time companies seeking inclusion on the list were required to provide the name of their manufacturing locations. Blue Buffalo, Cloud Star, Newman’s, Petguard, Royal Canin, Solid Gold, Timberwolf and Evolve all lost their spots as a result of not providing this information. On the heels of the pet food recalls, the Whole Dog Journal explains to pet parents that the use of co-packers in the pet food industry is not at all unusual, let alone any cause for concern as long as controls are in place to ensure ingredients, formulas, and final products are of the highest quality.

As a leader in the field of natural and organic pet nutrition, Castor & Pollux Pet Works was one of the first companies to introduce pet foods made with certified organic ingredients. Organix features certified organic, free range chicken as the #1 ingredient, and is unique in that it meets the USDA National Organic Program’s stringent labeling regulations. Now with the most extensive line of certified organic dry and canned foods and treats, Organix represents a complete solution for pet parents looking to “go organic.”

Natural Ultramix was added to the recommended list this year as a result of the formulas’ high meat content, the inclusion of real fruits and vegetables, and wholesome formulations. Providing a natural feeding option to pet parents not yet ready to “go organic” is important to Castor & Pollux as part of their commitment “to enrich and expand the lives of pets and the people they love.”
