NEWMAN’S OWN® ORGANICS GOES TO THE DOGS…AND CATS -
Paul Newman Pledges $100,000 to
Animal Organizations at Launch of Organic Pet Food Line
APTOS, Calif…Newman’s Own Organics announces the
introduction of its new line of premium pet foods for dogs and cats that will
benefit animals’ nutritional health as well as animal related causes.
All of the foods contain certified organic
ingredients, including Bell & Evans® Chicken, and
organic vegetables and grains. The products do not contain antibiotics,
hormones, chemical ingredients or artificial preservatives, colors, or
additives. The pet food, like all of Newman’s Own Organics’ products, has been
certified by Oregon Tilth. Paul and Nell Newman have chosen to donate all of the
charity money generated by the sale of the pet food to organizations that
support animals’ well-being.
“Pets have always been a part of our family life,”
says Nell Newman, cofounder and president of the organic company. “With the rise
in the number of cat and dog problems directly related to poor nutrition, we
want to offer pets the same high quality food we buy for ourselves. We’re
excited that we have come up with an organic formulation that is nutritious and
great tasting for our four-footed friends, while also helping those not so
fortunate. This project has been ‘on the table’ for a long time; now, it’s in
the bowl where it belongs.”
Paul Newman gives away all his after-tax profits
from the royalties from Newman’s Own and Newman’s Own Organics to educational
and charitable organizations. The specialty pet retailers participating in the
launch of the new line of organic pet food will have the opportunity to help
select the ten national animal and animal related organizations receiving the
initial $100,000. “We look forward to focusing our donations on animal shelters
and animal related services", says Peter Meehan, cofounder and CEO of Newman’s
Own Organics.
The following pet charities have been chosen to receive a $10,000 check from Paul Newman:
