The Honest Kitchen Feeds Canines Walking for a Cause
Holistic Pet Food Company Provides Premium Dehydrated, Raw Diet for “2 Dogs, 2,000 Miles” Benefit Walk for Canine Cancer
San Diego, Calif. (May 1, 2008) – The Honest Kitchen, makers of organic and holistic dehydrated raw pet food, today announced the donation of food for the “2 Dogs 2,000 Miles” benefit walk, which aims to help provide funding for the first-ever nationwide epidemiological study of the causes of canine cancer. Hudson and Murphy, the Great Pyrenees dogs joining owner Luke Robinson on his trek, will be treated to The Honest Kitchen’s dehydrated, raw, human-grade pet food throughout the duration of their 2,400 mile adventure to raise awareness and find a cure for the deadly disease.
Robinson and his dogs embarked on the multi-state walk March 16 in Austin, Texas, and will finish in Boston, Mass. The mission of “2 Dogs 2,000 Miles” is to encourage education and community involvement through their journey and the team will be meeting with several animal and cancer groups along the way. All proceeds from the walk will go to the Animal Cancer Foundation to finance the canine cancer study. Other sponsors of the walk include Whole Earth Provision, InClover, Connectin, Princeton Tec and Nature’s Farmacy.
“The Honest Kitchen is committed to the health and wellbeing of animals through proper nutrition, and we are thrilled to be part of Luke, Murphy and Hudson’s mission,” said Lucy Postins, co-founder of The Honest Kitchen. “High quality food is just one way to help prevent illness in our furry friends, and we know our food will help give Murphy and Hudson the energy to fulfill their quest. The dedication and giving nature exemplified by the trio is nothing short of heartwarming. The Honest Kitchen thanks this team for their efforts to discover the causes of canine cancer.”
“2 Dogs 2,000 Miles” was temporarily put on hold under speculation that Murphy, one of the puppy participants, may have developed cancer. However, Murphy’s pathology reports were negative and the fundraising adventure is back in full swing.
The Honest Kitchen will provide food for Murphy and Hudson for the entire duration of the walk, which is expected to last approximately 10 months. All of The Honest Kitchen holistic products are made with 100 percent human-grade food ingredients without any preservatives or pesticides. In addition, The Honest Foods does not use genetically modified fruits and vegetables, all meats are hormone and antibiotic free and many of the ingredients are organic.
