Just one week until SuperZoo!

One of the joys of living in Las Vegas is the easy access to trade shows. Flippy and I love a good trade show, because they’re full of new products, new ideas, and (ahem) free samples! While CoffeeFest is safely #1 on our trade show hit parade, coming on rapidly is SuperZoo. Last year was our first visit to SuperZoo, and now that we know what to expect, I hope this year’s show will be even more productive for us. We’ve planned ahead, and will show up with a business license and business cards, and maybe we’ll find that one perfect item we can resell/distribute to generate some income.

SuperZoo doesn’t start until next week, but I was reminded of it this morning when the newspaper mentioned the Dick Van Patten will be attending to show off his new Eatables dog food. The food is apparently manufactured at a plant which makes “food for humans”, and Van Patten invented it by taking some popular human food recipes and then just supplementing them with extra vitamins and minerals to meet the nutritional needs of dogs. If Van Patten wants to send us home with a few cans of his dog food for us to test out on Phoenix and Cricket, I can guarantee he won’t have to do much arm-twisting. We’re nothing if not cooperative.

I have been feeding my dogs the Van Patten Natural Balance dog food for a couple of years.. and I have only good things to say about it. They also have a very good duck and potato variety that was a life saver for the little poodle with many many allergies that I used to have.

I wanted to check out the Natural Balance food today, but Petsmart was closed by the time we got there. It would be nice to find a quality food which we can buy conveniently.

About Me

Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary on Facebook

My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I completed the veterinary technology program at Penn Foster, and in 2004 I started Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary with the goal of eventually turning it into a farm-like sanctuary facility for 50+ "unadoptable" cats (we're at 24). Long story short, this is a cat blog, with a dose of dog and parrot, heavy on pet health care talk. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.

I live with the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm always available for freelance social media marketing work. My background includes 13 years in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
