A number of people have asked us about Pro Pac's research team, articularly their Head Nutritionist, Dr George Collings.

Dr Collings is one of the most respected names in the petfood industry.He received his Ph.D. in nutritional sciences from Michigan State University
and has been board certified by the American College of Animal Nutrition,

the American College of Nutrition and been elected into the AmericanSociety of Nutrition. He has worked in the advancement of pet nutrition for
over thirty years working in lead roles with Nestle Purina (Ralston Purina),

Hills Pet Nutrition and others. He has designed hundreds of products andhas worked closely with the team at Pro Pac Pet Foods.
This is what Dr Collings has to say about Pro Pac:

"Pro Pac Super Premium pet foods offer a variety of nutritional options for the life stages and nutritional needs of pets. Built on a super-premium
platform of more concentrated and fortified nutrition, Pro Pac formulas are

highly palatable and digestible. Each Pro Pac formula uses high qualitymeat protein meals (chicken meal, lamb meal, fish meal, etc.) along with
highly palatable fat sources. Moreover, Pro Pac formulas have fermentable

fibers to help build good stools; highly available forms of minerals for goodadsorption balance Omega fatty acids for immunity and skin & hair coat
plus critically balanced nutrient levels.

Pro Pac pet foods provide life stage versions for large and small breeds,senior pets, high-performance pets and pets with special needs (sensitive,
lamb & rice, and low-fat in dogs plus hairball in cats). Pro Pac also

has highly palatable, nutritious treats to support the product line. It is acomplete line of pet foods in attractive packaging, but it is what is inside
that counts. The foods will perform and produce good results in multiple

situations."

The investment Pro Pac puts into the quality of the ingredients is one of the major reasons why Pro Pac is now the fastest growing superpremium petfood in the world. Having someone of the calibre of Dr Collings leading the development of the brand shows just how highly regarded Pro Pac is. We're confident in saying you can hardly do better and that it represents the best quality and value of any food available.

We often get asked questions about the sizes of the biscuits (also known as kibbles) that Pro Pac comes in for the various formulas.

There are different sizes for each formula. Each has been designed by the Pro Pac research lab (headed by Dr George Collings, PhD in Nutritional Science and one of the most respected names in the pet nutrition industry) to specifically ensure the best digestibility and teeth/gum health for each type and age of dog.We have created a page on the website which has dimensions and photos of each of the kibbles. It is here: www.petfooddirect.co.nz/kibble-sizes

Just wanted to let you know that all our Pro Pac formulas are now back in stock. This includes the Senior and Adult Mini Chunk. Again, our apologies for any inconvenience with the delay.

And we thought you might like this doggy joke:

A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window saying:
HELP WANTED

Must be a good typist and be good with a computer.Successful applicant must be bilingual. We are an Equal
Opportunity Employer.

A short time later a lovely golden retriever dog trotted upto the window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it, whined and pawed the air.
The receptionist called the office manager. He was

surprised to say the least to see a canine applicant. However, the dog looked determined, so he led him into the office. Inside, the dog jumped up on a chair and stared at the manager expectantly.The manager said, "I can't hire you. The sign says
you must be able to type." The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to quickly type a perfect

business letter. He took out the page and trotted over tothe manager, gave it to him, then jumped back up on the
chair.

The manager was stunned, but told the dog, "That wasfantastic, but I'm sorry. The sign clearly says that
whoever I hire has to be good with a computer."

The dog jumped down again, went to the computer andproceeded to demonstrate his expertise with various
Programs, produced a sample spreadsheet and database, then presented them to the manager.

The manager was dumbfounded! He said to the dog, "Hey, I realize that you are a very intelligent applicant and have fantastic talent, but you're a dog -- no way could I hire you."The dog jumped down and went to the sign in the window and pointed his paw at the words, "Equal Opportunity Employer."
The exasperated manager said, "Yes, I know what the damned sign says. But the sign also says you have to be bilingual."

The dog looked him straight in the eye and said,   "Meow."

Due to a delay in our shipment from the US we have been out of stock of a few lines. However, the good news is they will be back in stock in the next few days. Coming back into stock will be:

• Adult Chunk 7.5kg
• Adult Mini Chunk 15kg

We've also added Adult Mini Chunk 7.5kg

All other formulas remain in good supply.If you've been waiting for these, thanks for your patience. Our Pro Pac sales are continuing to grow at a rapid rate. This, combined with the boat being delayed, has led to a temporary supply shortage.
Any of the above formulas can be ordered now and they will be sent out early next week. Of course the other formulas are all available now.

To order please either call us on 0800 364 366 or order directly from the website at www.petfooddirect.co.nz.

Owning a dog is a big responsibility and it's only AFTER you get your dog that you realise how much work they can be. It can also be very frustrating when they don't behave the way you want them to.

So what do you do? Well if you really want to have your dog under control and behaving they way you want ALL the time there's something we recently discovered that is an amazing resource. It's been used by more than 200,000 dog owners worldwide and, frankly, we were extremely impressed.You can find out more about it here:http://2ee07sbmqztzhu0gjq7ekreoaj.hop.clickbank.net/
We're thrilled with the way Pro Pac is starting to get recognized in New Zealand for the quality food that it is. Every week we hear from new customers and also receive great reports of how well dogs are doing on it.
