CANIDAE® Pet Foods - Special Achievers
Team Missy
Thank you, Canidae, for making such a wonderful product. We are a “Dock Diving” family known as Team Missy. Missy is a yellow Labrador Retriever and is the head of “Team Missy”. She became an Elite Dock Diving Dog at her first event and continued to demonstrate her athletic ability by becoming an Incredible Dog Challenge Champion for 2006. Missy’s brothers, Kasey and Kody, are also up and coming Dock Diving champions. Missy, Kasey and Kody have all had national and local television exposure and articles in newspapers and magazines in the course of competing in Dock Diving in large part due to your product. Their appearance, both on and off the dock, always draws compliments from the crowd and everyone asks us how you keep them so fit and their coats looking so good. We are proud to tell everyone about Canidae Pet Foods and what a difference a high quality food like Canidae makes in the lives of our loving pets. 
We recently rescued a 7 month old abused and neglected chocolate Labrador named Hank. Hank was very thin with numerous bald patches and horrible skin and hot spots. With in a week his hot spots cleared up and we could see new hair growing in. Hank is now a healthy and strong dog and has made a complete recovery with a thick and healthy coat all because of Canidae Dog Food.
Team Missy would like to thank “Team Canidae” for making such a high quality dog food. We recommend Canidae All Life Stages formulas to everyone who asks us what we feed our dogs and many of our friends and co-workers who have made the change to Canidae, tell us they wished they had listened to us earlier and started feeding their dogs Canidae sooner.
Sincerely,
Dan, Jean, Cory, Chrissy and our wonderful Labrador companions - Missy, Kody, Kasey, Lisa, Katy and Hank and Buddy (our 9 year old terrier mix).
Ray Vaturro and Betsy Wade-Vaturro
"FLASH" Bram won two more Hound Group Three placements at the recent Claremore KC of Oklahoma and the Kokomo KC of Indiana.
Ray Vaturro and Betsy Wade-Vaturro are the proud owners of Bram, a three year old Norwegian Elkhound they show in A.K.C. conformation. Bram, whose official name is BISS Ch. Silverdal's Royal Tribute, has had quite a few accomplishments in his young life. Bram was awarded Best of Breed at the 2006 Norwegian Elkhound Association of America National Specialty by Norwegian judge, Mr. Arild Berget. Bram finished 2006 as the #1 Norwegian Elkhound in breed points. His latest accolade was being invited to the Westminster Kennel Club in February 2007. It was Bram's and his owners first trip to Westminster. There he was awarded the only Award Of Merit to be given to a Norwegian Elkhound that day by Judge Mr. Randy Garren (pictured with Ray and Bram).
Ray and Betsy began showing dogs in 1998 with their first Norwegian Elkhound and started their breeding program in 2003. Betsy states "We started feeding our first dog CANIDAE ALS dry food in 2000. We noticed a marked change in the condition of his coat. We've been giving our dogs CANIDAE ever since and are very happy with the results". When the Vaturros are asked what food they feed their dog, they are happy to spread the news about their success with CANIDAE, whether the person asking is a show person or a pet owner.
