We have been researching a lot more than normal these days due to the overwhelming
RECALLS of animal foods. With this in mind we also always understand the need to educate the puppy buyers that we encounter on a regular basis on the
DANGERS of common place items
SOLD everyday in
PET stores etc. Things like Rawhide and Greenies. We get asked daily our ideas and thoughts on some issues with commercial dog foods vs homemade. We of course making treats for Droolers we research on a regular basis but
NOW we are going a bit further to reach you and get the ball rolling on doing this I have linked a
GREAT Website that
ANSWERS alot of questions and
SHOULD be read by any pet owner. Enjoy and we will add updated sites and feel free to add your own by sending me a email anytime at
Camelotboxers@aol.com *Picture above is of Droolers Low Fat Chicken Fingers for dogs. As seen in
Droolers Menu
Click link below to read articles on various research and data. I have NO personal or otherwise affiliation with any of these links and this page will just take you to their info which you can then decide what's BEST for YOUR pet! I hope you will take the time to read all info and share to fellow pet lovers everywhere...Humans STILL CARE about one another even if it's NOT on the nightly news any longer!
*Please be aware that there was a news report a month ago aprox. on HIGH levels of ARSENIC in RICE from Arkansaw..due to the chemicals used in cotton crops years earlier. When feeding Rice we use from other states and we want you to be aware of this fact. WE are working hard on locating the new report from either NPR news,BBC, or 96.9 Talk,as that is where it was heard. We want to get info out there for YOU to decide,as MANY are now making their OWN food at this time...

K9 AMBER ALERT :http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/K9AmberAlert/
We here at Camelotboxers and Droolers do not represent 1 side of the fence or the other...we are opposed to the way the recalls have been handled and the little info out there...but we as breeders and as supporters of Non-Kill shelters and EDUCATION we have put forth this info to help YOU personally make your own CHOICES as we believe in the right of choice ..it is OUR personal choice to sit on top of the fence so we can see BOTH sides and help more the animal than the people messing them up..I strongly believe if animals HAD a choice they WOULD make the right dissision in what is best for their individual needs...We hope we have in some way helped you decide with more facts than media hype.~Laura and family
