Top pet food watchdog recommends Castor & Pollux
ORGANIX® and Natural ULTRAMIX® dry foods gain Whole Dog Journal approval ....AGAIN!
Clackamas, OR - Pet watchdog Whole Dog Journal has bestowed its seal of approval on Castor & Pollux Pet Works®' ORGANIX and Natural ULTRAMIX dry dog foods.
This marks the sixth consecutive year for ORGANIX on Whole Dog Journal's "top foods" list and the second consecutive year for Natural ULTRAMIX. The honors for dry foods come on the tail of recent Whole Dog Journal recognition of both brands as top canned foods.
"Whole Dog Journal is the #1 source of information for pet parents who want to be fully informed about natural dog care and training. They really do their homework about natural and organic foods, so having two of our brands recognized among their top dry foods year after year means a great deal to us, and to our customers," said Shelley Gunton, co-founder and "Top Dog" of Castor & Pollux.
To gain Whole Dog Journal approval, foods must pass a rigorous review that assesses the amount and quality of meat protein, and commends the use of organic ingredients, whole grains and vegetables instead of processed ingredients or fragments. Foods are rejected if they include meat or poultry by-products, unidentified fats or protein, or added sweeteners, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
A pioneer in organic food and treats, Castor & Pollux Pet Works is one of the only pet food companies that comply with all USDA National Organic Program regulations that apply to ingredients and packaging of organic human food.
ORGANIX dry foods are available in adult, adult less-active and puppy formulas, rounded out by choices of certified organic canned foods and dog cookies. ORGANIX dry foods are comprised of more than 70 percent organic ingredients, with organic free-range chicken the #1 ingredient. A full line of ORGANIX choices also is available for cats, including organic dry food, certified organic canned foods and treats.
For pet parents not quite ready to "go organic," Natural ULTRAMIX features a variety of meat-based proteins, and real pieces of fruits and vegetables blended with the kibble - another innovation in premium pet foods. Natural ULTRAMIX dry foods also are available in choices scientifically formulated for different life stages, along with canned foods for dogs, and a range of dry and canned choices for cats.
