New Royal Canin Discovery Pack - Giveaway!!

Cat's determine their food preference differently than humans.  The aroma, texture and feeling of satisfaction the food provides is more important to a cat than taste since taste is their least developed sense so the flavour of the food doesn't really matter.

Royal Canin has studied these differences and have decided that their are 3 main types of cat preferences so they have come up with 3 different meal options to satisfy any cat.

      Aromatic Attraction is preferred by cats who are attracted most to the aroma of their food.
   Savour Sensation appeals to those cats that are attracted by the shape and feel of food in their mouth. 
   Protein Preference is for cats that enjoy a feeling of satisfaction after they've eaten their food.


To make it easier for us humans to determine which of the 3 types of food our cats would enjoy Royal Canin has come up with a pack that includes a sample of all 3 types.  Their studies have determined that 85% of cats will like 1 of the 3 types. 

I began the challenge last week on my 2 cats who I haven't really found to be fussy at all when it comes to dry cat food.  My bigger, older cat immediately started eating the Aromatic Attraction and the smaller, younger one started eating the Protein Preference first.  Over the course of the day the Aromatic Attraction was eaten the fastest.  I repeated this for 3 days and the end results were the same.  Aromatic Attraction was definitely their favorite.  In the end my cats did end up eating all 3!  They really aren't fussy eaters.  If you do have a picky feline then I"d recommend trying this pack that's available in stores now.  I think it's a small price to pay to figure out your cat's preferences and make them happy.  

The SelectiveTM line for cats wil be available in stores across Canada starting mid-October 2010, including Pet Valu, Global Pet Foods, Petcetera, Mondou, and several other independent pet stores. The Discovery Pack (which offers samples of each SelectiveTM variety) is available for an MSRP of $5.99, while bags of Aromatic Attraction, Savor Sensation, and Protein Preference range from $18.99 to  $35.99.  Check out Royal Canin for more information on these foods and the study by Royal Canin.  


Now for the giveaway!


Royal Canin would like to give one of my Canadian readers the discovery pack as well as a coupon for a full size bag once you determine your cat's favorite food or any cat if it's not for yourself!

On The Go Woman Launches In Canada

Are you concerned that osteoporosis could get in the way of the things you need to do?   Did you know that one in four Canadian women over 50 have osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can strike women of any age but it's most common after menopause.  





  
  
  
 

I know for myself I'm a little concerned because I took certain birth control that is thought to cause calcium loss from the bones and nobody really even knows the long term effects on the bones after taking such birth control.  That and my grandmother broke 3 bones all in a 3 month period just last year.

On The Go Woman is a website launched to help women determine if they're at risk of osteoporosis, understand what osteoporosis is, the treatment options and tips for strong bones as well as other helpful information.  This is all part of an Osteoporosis Awareness campaign in Canada.

Don't let osteoporosis slow you down

Are you concerned that osteoporosis could get in the way of the things you love — or need — to do? The good news is, you may be able to take action now to strengthen your bones. And if you’re already taking an osteoporosis treatment, you may have options you don't know about.

Haven't posted in a bit.

I know I haven't updated in a bit because my son was sick for 8 days including a trip to the ER which was a little scary!  He's fine now but I didn't get much time on the computer as he was really clingy and grumpy and nose running everywhere while he was sick.

Then we took a little 4 day family vacation to a ski resort with friends.  Thankfully he was at the end of his cold and it was definitely some well deserved R&R for everyone!  So it's back to reality for me and thankfully I'm not back to work yet so I have time to catch up on emails and some new reviews and such coming up on my blog so stay tuned!
