<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are always listening and replying to customers emails and looking for ways to improve our service to our customers. So as result of arden grange, burns and wafcol reducing the sizes of their bags, we only thought it
was fair to allow our customers to use any available space that would of been
used by your regular purchase of 2 x 15kg bags, so that you can buy treats and accessories for your dog without being charged delivery.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We have also extended the Free Space Delivery Deal, not only to dog food but also any item that comes with free delivery too, allowing you to get more for less!</span><br />

<br />
Like other premium pet foods, <a href="http://www.valupets.com/c/4832/burns-pet-nutrition-dog-food/burns-pet-nutrition.html" target="_blank">burns dog food</a> plans to follow in the footsteps of other brands like <a href="http://www.valupets.com/c/4828/arden-grange-dog-food/arden-grange.html" target="_blank">arden grange</a> and <a href="http://www.valupets.com/c/4849/wafcol-complete-dog-food/wafcol.html" target="_blank">wafcol</a> that have recently changed their bag sizes from 15kg to 12kg, but also rename a few of their most popular dog foods too!<br />

New RRP prices for <a href="http://www.valupets.com/c/4849/wafcol-complete-dog-food/wafcol.html" target="_blank">Wafcol Dog Food</a></h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wafcol have just released the new rrp prices that will be introduced from the 19th September 2012. So naturally we thought it would be a
good idea to let customers know in advance if they wished to stock up. In
addition to the price changes Wafcol Senior Salmon & Potato will be reduced
in size from 15kg to 12kg just like the adult varieties and we presume at some
stage the puppy will be reduced in size too, but we have not heard anything to
say if this will happen anytime soon.</span></div>

<a href="http://www.valupets.com/c/4828/arden-grange-dog-food/arden-grange.html" target="_blank">Arden Grange</a> - RRP for New 12kg Bags</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As discussed in May 2012 on our blog, Arden Grange will
slowly introduce the new 12kg bags over the next few weeks and have told us the
new recommended retail prices for the bags in following varieties, so we thought it was only right to let you know in advance.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Puppy Junior 12kg - 38.30<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Puppy Junior Large Breed - 37.10<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Adult Chicken & Rice - 33.90</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Adult Lamb & Rice - 35.50</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Adult Salmon & Rice - 40.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Adult Large Breed Chicken & Rice - 34.30</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sensitive Ocean Fish & Potato - 46.30</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Light Chicken & Rice - 33.90</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Senior Chicken & Rice - 34.70</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obviously we won't be charging the RRP prices, but the
prices are set to rise by online pet food suppliers due in part to the
reduction in bag size from 15kg to 12kg and the lamb & rice price has increased
more than the other dog foods. So we suggest you stock up in the next couple of
weeks, especially if you have several hungry dogs to feed whilst there are
still 15kg bags available.<o:p></o:p></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298398288124822717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814095520537049187.post-4495501847022875122012-05-27T07:30:00.001-07:002012-05-27T09:58:36.210-07:00<h3>

Arden Grange to change bag sizes</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Like most premium dog food brands, arden grange will be changing
from 15kg to 12kg bags, so we have decided to inform customers in advance using
our new blog, so that customers can stock up to avoid any disappointment. After
discussing the change with arden grange the rrp price per kg of the adult and
puppy varieties will remain the same, except for the <a href="http://www.valupets.com/pets/arden-grange/arden-grange-adult-lamb-and-rice-dog-food-15kg/25032.html" target="_blank">Arden Grange Lamb & Rice</a></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> where the price will increase as unfortunately lamb is in short supply increasing
the overall cost to manufacturer the dog food, so if you feed only the lamb and rice variety you are more likely to notice that your dog's monthly food cost has increased than the other varieties, so it might be worth considering a change to the adult chicken and rice instead!</span></div>

How can I stop my dog chewing everything in the house?</h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many owners react to a puppy or dog chewing furniture in the
house, by removing as many chewable items they can from the dog's surroundings.
While this is logical, you dog or puppy must learn what they are allowed to
chew and of course not what not to chew in your house. You shouldn't stop you
dog chewing, but channel their attention towards something they are allowed to
chew such as rawhide dog chews or tough rubber toys like kongs as it's a
natural behaviour for puppies and dogs.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Why do puppies and dogs chew?</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are three main reasons why dogs or puppies chew, that
are outlined below:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Teething</strong> - Just like babies, puppies teethe which normally
occurs between 14 to 28 weeks of age, depending on the breed and size of your
puppy. Chewing serves two purposes, it helps soothe inflamed gums, providing
comfort and relief, but most importantly helps loosen baby teeth allowing them
to fall out and adult teeth to grow in their place.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Exploratory Chewing</strong> - Normally occurs between 28 to 52 weeks
of age, where your puppy explores their surrounding by chewing objects using
their mouths, in much the same way as a baby or toddler will use their hands.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Chew to Relief Stress</strong> - Chewing causes calming endorphins to
be released, having a positive effect on relieving stress and anxiety. While
your dog may not be the anxious type, your dog will know that chewing calms
them down and gives them a sense of wellbeing, making them feel less stressful
or anxious.</span></div>

How do I stop my dog's destructive chewing behaviour?</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /><span style="font-family: Calibri;">While some owners may think that their dog or puppy has
maliciously chewed something to spite them, it couldn't be further than the
truth as dog's have no sense of the value of possessions, they just chew to
explore and relief tension. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Instead of trying to stop chewing around your home,
you should actively encourage your dog or puppy to chew those items that you
are happy for them to chew on. So the first step is to teach your new puppy or
dog to understand the difference between your possessions and theirs which they
are allowed chew on without you screaming at them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The easiest way to focus
their attention on to what they should be chewing is by rewarding good
behaviour with toys or chews, so that your favourite slippers seem less
appealing. While there are no instant fixes, within a few days of following the
advice below, owners should see positive results, but it's important to always
focus on good chewing behaviour and not dwell on any mishaps.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1) Provide your dog with about 3 or 4 toys or rawhide chews,
but make sure that each one is different to each other in size, texture and
shape to create interest.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2) Play with your puppy or dog using the toys or chews, so
that your dog learns to associate them with having fun, so that if your dog or
puppy is left alone with the chews they are more likely to choose them in
favour to your possessions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3) Most puppies and dogs can be trained more easily by using
treats to reward behaviour, so make sure that at least one of the chew toys is
hollow to allow you to stuff it with treats or food, to encourage them to focus
on the chew rather than anything else they shouldn't.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4) Remove you most valuable items from your dog's reach to
avoid unnecessary expense.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5) To limit any destructive chewing behaviour, keep your dog
confined to one area or room, if necessary using a play pen or dog crate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">6) Whenever you see your dog or puppy chewing their toys or
chews, praise them to reinforce the positive behaviour, but try to avoid
interrupting their chewing with too much praise, as we don't want their
attention to be drawn away from the chews or toys.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">7) When you catch your dog or puppy chewing something they
shouldn't, make sure you have their attention and firmly say NO, then
immediately get a toy or rawhide chew for them and praise them if they start to
chew on it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">8) Lastly the most important thing to remember is to keep
things positive and reward good behaviour at all times, treating any mistake
along the road as your fault, not your puppies or dogs for not teaching them
right from wrong to avoid negative feelings.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Just like people the benefits of eating a balanced diet will
help your dog remain healthy and active. So what should you look for to avoid feeding
your dog a food that's the equivalent of fast food? i.e. burger and chips! Thankfully
now comparisons between competing dog food brands is easier thanks to the
internet as most manufacturers have websites that list the ingredients for each
flavour or variety of dog food they make.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Also due to new regulations regarding the labelling of ingredients
on pet food, if a manufacturer states that it contains glucosamine for joint
health there must be enough glucosamine in percentage terms to have a
beneficial effect for your dog or growing puppy, otherwise the manufacturer may
get a knock at the door from trading standards.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When selecting a food look at the typical analysis section
and ingredients list to establish what's in the food to make direct comparisons
more easily and familiarise yourself with the benefits of minerals, vitamins
and supplements in your chosen pet food. So what should look out for and what
should I really try to avoid?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Protein Source</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Look on your bag of food or manufacturers website and see if
you food contains human grade chicken, lamb or fish meal found in most premium
dog foods or animal derivatives which may contain hidden unsavoury fillers like
feet, heads, feathers, hooves and wool or even bakery products.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Fats</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now you have established what protein is used in the food,
look at the type of animal fat that's used in the recipe for instance fats such
as chicken, poultry or fish oil are often used by premium manufacturers such as
arden grange, burns and wafcol. But try to avoid foods that contain ingredients
such as beef tallow and lard, that are tasty to dogs but are high in saturated
fats, low essential fatty acids and low in digestibility.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Carbohydrates</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next examine the ingredients list and see if the food
contains whole grains and if it's wheat gluten free. Cheap foods will often not
specify exactly what you are feeding and use the term cereal derivatives, that
is not useful if you are trying to avoid triggering a food related allergy or
sensitivity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Fibre</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Look at the ingredients list closely and see if a food contains
any of the following; corn bran, peanut hulls, rice hulls, soybean hulls or oat
hulls that are not good sources of fibre and best to avoid in all honesty. But
beet pulp that used by many premium brands is a good fibre source for both soluble
and insoluble fibre allowing the growth of friendly bacteria in the large
intestine, feeling of being satisfied and gastrointestinal transit helping to
avoid stomach upsets.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Vitamins and minerals</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Examine what vitamins and minerals are listed on the bag of
food or website, such as Vitamin C, E and beta carotene that are powerful
antioxidants that will help provide protection against free radicals or if
chelated minerals such as copper, zinc, iron or selenium are used in preference
as they are more easily absorbed in the gut.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Supplements</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cheap foods will often exclude beneficial supplements like
prebiotics, nucleotides, cranberry extract, glucosamine, chondrotin, msm and yucca
extract or contain only enough to allow health benefits claims to be legal, so
it's advisable to look a both the levels and types of supplements used in your
dog or puppy food to make an informed decision.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Naturally preserved</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The last point maybe obvious to some owners, who take more
than a parsing look at the packaging on supermarket shelves, but see if the
food is naturally preserved, free from artificial colourings and flavourings as
your dog food should ideally not be brightly coloured.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
