New Hill's® Science Diet® Ideal Balance™ Celebrates National Pet Wellness ... - Sacramento Bee
TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 3, 2011 -- /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recent study by petMD, a staggering 80 percent of pet owners think that nutrition for dogs and people are similar. But that's not actually the case. In celebration of National Pet Wellness month, Hill's® Science Diet® Ideal Balance™ has partnered with petMD to launch an interactive quiz on http://www.petmd.com/dog/centers/nutrition/quiz designed to help owners better understand dog nutrition. During the month of Oct. only, all participating owners will receive a rebate for Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance pet food and a chance to win one of four $2,500 pet retailer gift cards.
"As a practicing veterinarian, I'm always talking to owners about proper dog nutrition," said petMD spokesperson Dr. Jennifer Coates, DVM. "One of the most important pieces of information I tell them is that you have to look for a food that not only contains wholesome ingredients, but also has the right balance of high quality carbohydrates, protein, minerals, vitamins, fats and oils."
Made with all natural ingredients, Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance features fresh chicken as its first ingredient and contains whole grains without corn or artificial colors. Ideal Balance provides dog owners a natural food choice while still delivering the right balance of nutrients owners have come to expect from the Science Diet portfolio of products.
Take the quiz and visit the dog Nutrition Center on www.petmd.com to find detailed dog nutrition information and tools including:
