This Is No Bowl: America Eats With Its Paws
WholeMeals(TM) Brand Food for Dogs Launches Charity Campaign to Rethink
Feeding and Help Animal Shelters Nationwide
FRANKLIN, Tenn., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 24, the tables
of one of America's hotspot restaurants will be cleared of all bowls,
plates and utensils in order to serve the country's first "hands-on" feast
for dog owners and dogs. To celebrate National Dog Week, WholeMeals(TM)
Food for Dogs has partnered with The Farm of Beverly Hills(R) to launch the
"Eat with Your Paws for a Good Cause" charity promotion to benefit Much
Love Animal Rescue and animal shelters nationwide, as well as to give dog
owners and dogs across America a chance to experience a new, more natural
way to eat.
"We're excited to show dog owners that the way we traditionally do
things isn't necessarily the only way. We think from a dog's point of view,
and our research shows dogs prefer to eat with their paws like we do," said
Margaret Mitchell, director for WholeMeals(TM) Brand. "Only WholeMeals
shaped meals allow dogs to pick up and eat their food. So, we're turning
the dining experience upside down and tossing tradition aside to let owners
experience a more natural and satisfying way to eat with their dogs."
To help bring to life "hands-on" eating, WholeMeals(TM) Brand is
launching the program with a kick-off event that includes FREE meals for
owners who reserve a patio table and bring their dogs to The Farm of
Beverly Hills(R) at The Grove on September 24, 2008. Guests will dine on an
exclusive "hands-on" only, three-course feast developed by The Farm's
nationally renowned executive chef, Hans Goplen, while their four-legged
friends enjoy a complimentary WholeMeals(TM) shaped meal.
"The Farm is known for our innovative culinary approach, so we're
excited to put a twist on the dining tradition," said Fran Berger,
president of The Farm of Beverly Hills(R). "Many of our patrons are dog
owners and lovers, so we are thrilled to provide them with a truly unique
opportunity that gives back to the animal community."
