Dogabout – the new way to socialise for you AND your dog!

On Saturday, 19th November Dogabout, proudly sponsored by 4Legs, held their first dog walk at Rosanna Parklands in Melbourne. A big thank you to all who attended, and a special thanks to Catrina Murray, the Walk Leader for the local area. A fantastic morning was had by all, humans and dogs alike! Luckily the weather was kind, despite the dreary day that was forecast. All canine attendees were most excited about their free pack of 4Legs Dog Food and looked gorgeous in their Dogabout doggy bandannas. All the dog owners really enjoyed getting active with their dogs and the opportunity to meet other dog owners in their local area.

Read more about the walk and see some great pics taken on the day here.

What a great way to meet other dog-owners in your local community, for your dog to socialise with other dogs and most of all, to get fit and healthy together with your dog! Visit www.dogabout.com.au to check out the upcoming walks.

If you can’t find a walk in an area convenient to you, you can still register and we’ll let you know once a Walk Leader is set up in your community. Or if you are passionate about dogs, community and getting active, you could consider becoming a Walk Leader yourself!

Q. Why is your 4Legs Home Cooked product coated? Is there a reason you don’t mix all the ingredients in together?

A. The ingredients that make up our unique coating on the 4Legs Home Cooked products include carrots, parsley, alfalfa, garlic, coconut, oat bran and wheat germ. These ingredients provide your dog with added anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals, enzymes, proteins, fibre and amino acids.
Adding these ingredients after the cooking process in the form of a coating allows us to protect heat-sensitive nutrients, ensuring that your dog obtains the maximum amount of goodness from every ingredient.
