celebrity dog food: July 2008 Archives
Celebrity Chef Rachael Ray is the latest star to launch her own pet food line (Nutrish) based on recipes she's come up with for her pit bull, Isaboo. The new enterprise is charity-driven, with all proceeds from sales going to Rachel's Rescue, which she founded to help animals.
"It seemed like a lot of extra time to donate to something that could potentially raise millions of dollars for championing these little creatures that can't speak for themselves," Ray said.
A line of food for cats also is being planned.
But not everyone is giving the new food a five-paw rating. Dog Food Project, a web site devoted to analyzing commercial pet foods, finds Ray's recipes lacking.
You be the judge.
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
