Thanks to that show, and the presentation ROYAL CANIN made at the dinner, I've switched my 2 German Shepherds and 1 Lab with seizures to their food. Spunky, my show pup (Konigin's Phamtom of the Opera), used to inhale his food. THe German Shepherd food is designed to make them chew. AND it works. He loves the food, but eats it slower. His coat is shinier too. Plus no corn or wheat in the food.

Well, he gave me the OK & here it is. ROYAL CANIN. Believe me, they are the greatest friend a club could have. I was told that all a club had to do was get in touch with their area Rep & he would do the rest. You can find out how to contact the Rep in your area from the pet store that sells Royal Canin. Royal Canin paid for all of the expenses of our two shows, furnished the trophies & had a catered dinner on Sat, night. All they ask in return is all the advertising you can give them. They have already agreed to sponsor our two shows again next fall. As I said before, they are a club's best friend & they are very easy to work with. To those of you who have been emailing me about Al's condition, he's doing much better & thank you for asking. He's been in the hospital for almost 6 months & has had 2 major & 4 minor surgeries. The last surgery was Dec. 15th & it was a major one. He originally went in to have a malignant kidney removed, ended up with a fistula & the last surgery was the removal of a malignant tumor in the lining of his stomach. Under the circumstances, he's doing great but still in the hospital. If all goes well, he'll be home around Jan. 15th. Needless to say, we didn't get to go to the Houston shows but I'm so glad everyone had a wonderful weekend! Sorry I didn't answer your emails but I don't have much time for the computer. I stay at the hospital every day with Al. Thanks again for your kind inquiries.
