Pure Pooch Summer Dirty Dog Contest Yields Donations for Local Animal Shelters

Aug. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Pure Pooch today announced the July winner of their “Summer Dirty Dog” contest that’s currently running on the brand’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/purepooch). Visitors who share of photo of their dirty dog will have a chance to win prizes like a Pure Pooch Spa basket, Pure Pooch shampoos, and donations to local shelters on the winners’ behalf.

The winning dog for July is Layla, a mixed breed goldendoodle, who lives outside of Chicago, IL. Layla’s human companion, Sara, selected West Suburban Humane Society in Downers Grove, IL, to receive the donation from Pure Pooch.

“Even though we’re a small company we’ve committed to be a socially responsible operation,” commented Ron Akanowicz, managing partner at Pooch Enterprises. “I’m glad that we’re able to do what we can to support the pet community. There are so many worthy causes that I want our business to be a participant in making the world a better place for animals.”

The entire Pure Pooch all-natural line of shampoos for dogs are made with natural coconut-based cleansers, plant-derived conditioners, and organic-enzyme deodorizers that safely and effectively clean and yet are gentle enough for regular use. Pure Pooch contains Provitamin B5 and plant-derived conditioners to moisturize, prevent tangling, and soften the coat without stripping the skin of its natural protective oils. It’s biodegradable so its safe for the environment, too.

“Since we launched in March 2011 we’ve supported over a dozen shelters and causes,” said Akanowicz. “We want dog lovers to know that Pure Pooch is about creating a healthy lifestyle for all animals- dog and humans included. That means offering wholesome products that are effective and yet still have a positive impact on the environment and our community,” added Akanowicz.

The full line of Pure Pooch all-natural grooming products, including Calm & Gentle, Really Clean and Bright & Clean, are available for purchase via retail or wholesale, at retail stores in the US, or via the Pure Pooch website at purepooch.com.

About Pure Pooch

The inspiration for Pure Pooch started with Pure Pooch managing partner Ron Akanowicz’s dog, Sophie, a Maltese-Lhaso Apso mix. He wanted a gentle, effective, and natural shampoo for Sophie’s pink, sensitive skin and it was a challenge to find. That’s when Ron and one of the company’s partners, began to create a formula that uses natural ingredients and quickly developed the three foundational lines: Bright & Clean, Really Clean, and Calm & Gentle. Each one in the line of Pure Pooch all-natural dog shampoos uses coconut-based cleansers and a blend of plant-derived conditioners and deodorizers. The company founders are committed to creating products that are safe and effective for pets, as well as safe and sustainable for the environment. Their products are free from petroleum and parabens, are biodegradable, never tested on animals, and made in the U.S.A. Pure Pooch donates 2% of its proceeds to shelters and rescues.
