| It was Easter time and the children thought that the | | | | that the puppy has a much shorter intestine than |
| best puppy food must surely include their best treats | | | | humans and to absorb protein from vegetable your |
| so they shared their chocolate Easter egg with Barnie | | | | need a long intestinal track like humans. |
| our new Labrador puppy. | | | | So if its animal protein the puppy needs we wanted |
| Within a few hours Barnie became dangerously ill and | | | | to know what was the best protein for our highly |
| close to death luckily our local vet Mr. Jansen | | | | favored Barnie.We found that for the puppy chicken |
| managed to save him much to the joy and relief of | | | | meat is ideal for the growing years. Now you can get |
