petMD Partners With Hill's Science Diet to Launch MyBowl for Dogs
To help educate owners about properly balanced dog nutrition, petMD, the largest global source of pet health information, and Hill's® Pet Nutrition, a leader in pet nutrition, have partnered to create MyBowl for dogs.
A first of its kind interactive tool, MyBowl for dogs is designed to put dog nutrition in terms people can understand by the following:
- Illustrating the proper proportions of essential nutrients dogs need – carbohydrates, protein, minerals, vitamins, fats and oils
- Educating owners about the specific benefits each nutrient delivers when fed in the right balance
- Decoding the dog food label so owners ensure their dog is receiving the proper balance of nutrients at each meal
To further educate owners on proper dog nutrition, petMD has launched a dog Nutrition Center on www.petmd.com in partnership with Hill's® Science Diet®. On the dog Nutrition Center, pet owners can find detailed dog nutrition information and tools including MyBowl for dogs, Nutrition Articles and Slideshows, "The Nutrition Nugget" Dog Nutrition Blog by Dr. Jennifer Coates, Ask petMD Nutrition Chat, Dog Nutrition Quizzes and FAQ’s.
"petMD's veterinary council is dedicated to producing quality content that provides pet parents with an unprecedented breadth and depth of knowledge in all areas of pet health," said Nicolas Chereque, founder of petMD. "The partnership with Hill's® Science Diet® has allowed us to combine the veterinary resources of two leaders in pet health to carry out a common mission of educating pet owners about proper pet nutrition."
"When it comes to identifying the right food choice, dog owners need to check the ingredient list for high quality carbohydrates, protein, minerals, vitamins, fats and oils represented in the right balance," said Dr. Chad Dodd, DVM Hill's Pet Nutrition. "A food like new Hill's® Science Diet® Ideal Balance™ that is formulated in precise amounts to provide the exact balance dog's need, nothing more, nothing less, is a great option for owners."
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.
Science Diet® Ideal Balance™ will be available at Pet Specialty stores, Farm and Feed stores and Veterinary Clinics beginning August 2011. For more information visit the Hill’s Pet Nutrition website, Facebook and Twitter pages.
