Rick’sDogDeli.com to co-sponsor the Winter Park Dog Walk

April 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Rick’sDogDeli.com, a purveyor of fresh, natural foods for dogs, today announced that it has secured a co-sponsorship role in the Winter Park Dog Walk scheduled for May 19, 2012, in Winter Park, Florida.

Rick’sDogDeli.com creates custom meals for individual dogs based on the unique nutritional needs of the breed. “We combine simple, whole foods that provide excellent health benefits,” says Charlie Guns, founder of Rick’sDogDeli.com. “In humans, obesity, diabetes and cancer can be linked to diet—and specifically to processed foods. A dog fed a diet of processed food faces the same health risks, if not greater risk because of the byproducts in commercial dog food. We create custom meals made of fresh, natural human-grade foods known for their excellent health benefits. We take it one step further to create diets that meet the unique nutritional needs of specific breeds and the medical needs, if any, of the individual dog.”

In co-sponsoring the Winter Park Dog Walk, Rick’sDogDeli.com supports its core mission of creating a healthier pet community. “Exercise and proper diet are essential elements of a healthy life for pets. You could say that supporting this event is a ‘natural’ for us,” explained Guns.

The 1st Annual Winter Park Dog Walk (WPdogwalk.com) will benefit The Lost Pets Foundation, a new entity created by WinterParkLostPets.com to help pets in need. “Our goal is to reunite every lost pet in our community,” says WinterParkLostPets.com co-founder Shelley Heistand. “But not every pet finds its way home. The Lost Pet Foundation will now be able to provide assistance and funding to the rescue organizations that selflessly care for these homeless animals. We are grateful for the support and recognition of Rick’sDogDeli.com.”

The Winter Park Dog Walk is scheduled for 8 am to 12 noon. Participants will walk at their own pace along the Cady Way Trail phase 1 starting at the Cady Way Pool in Winter Park. Participants can walk along the trail for as long or short a distance as they wish.
