PupStarts—Beginnings Done Right
Purchases help fund Cancer Treatment Grants for working dogs

What could be better than curing a dog’s cancer? That’s easy! Let's just avoid the illness in the first place. Although there are no statistical studies that prove you can prevent cancer in at-risk dogs, "common sense and clinical experience make a strong case for avoiding anything that exposes an animal to known carcinogens or weakens the immune system,” says Stacey Hershman, DVM, a holistic house-call veterinarian in Rockland County, New York. Just like their human companions, dogs live longer, healthier lives when they eat organic foods, get enough exercise, breathe clean air, drink clean filtered water, and stay away from harmful substances. They also are helped by supplements, food-source antioxidants, and free-range, antibiotic-free, and chemical-free proteins.

We have selected our favorite must-have products and developed 3 fun and attractive collections to get folks off to the best start with new pups or adopted dogs. One collection is focused on keeping our chewers busy and satisfied, another stresses our need to reward desired behaviors, and a final assortment helps in boosting a healthy immune response in your dog.

We actually use EVERY ITEM that has been included in these collections. It surely impacts our daily lives and we could not imagine not having them help to create the best in health and training.

Each collection includes a SimplyFido Limited Edition 100% Organic & Dye-Free Character Plush Bone Toy and is accompanied by your choice of a gorgeous Pawprints Scrapbook or Pawprints Journal to capture your furkid's many special moments. Collecting your dog's most expressive and fun photos and sticking them in a scrapbook is a wonderful way to celebrate your special bond. You can also use special embellishments to make your Pawprints scrapbook or journal attractive, adorning it with ribbons, first collars, baby teeth, and more. You can note progress in dog training classes, note accomplishments, and record difficulties as well. You would otherwise forget about these over time, but scrapbooking your dog will keep these memories for a lifetime.

Our 3 theme assortments are each arranged in a whimsical bone-shaped wire basket that measures 10" L x 6" W x 3" H and includes a useful handle. This elegant shiny basket is simply perfect for holding dog wares and is a true keepsake storage container. This gift can be bought to treat yourself right (which is really important) or to present to a fellow dog lover—a special gift note card provided if requested with your order.

All of these collections are beautifully shrink wrapped and topped with a bow. A detailed brochure additionally accompanies each collection, providing insightful information about the contents and why each item was included. up

PUPSTARTS — CHEWS BASKET/COLLECTION chews
These are our favorite must-have products to get folks off to the best start with new pups or adopted dogs. This collection is focused on keeping our chewers busy and satisfied. We actually use EVERY ITEM here as they provide the best in health.

●	Himalayan Dog Chew — Made in Nepal with no preservatives, this yak and cow milk chew comes from an ancient recipe used by the locals to create a long-lasting snack that they can slowly work in their mouths while working in the fields. Dogs must work the end of the treat for several hours, softening it with their mouths before small parts of it can be slowly scraped off. The folks at Himalayan Dog Chews import only the finest quality product and it has been tested in American laboratories for its content, including harmful bacteria and potential for bacterial growth over time. They are satisfied that the product being offered to the North American consumer is safe and that it will fill the void for an edible treat that can keep the attention of even the most powerfully neurotic canine jaws.	●	Snooks 100% Organic Sweet Potato Chips — When you eat non-organic sweet potatoes, you ingest the pesticide botran and the fungicides imazilil, benomyl, and thiabenzadole. All cancer causing and sources of immune system damage, they cannot be removed by peeling, and are solely used to allow longer shelf life, not fresher or safer food. Snook’s chips are made with organic sweet potatoes and natural Vitamin E. Organic sweet potatoes are higher in nutrients, contain 30% higher levels of antioxidants, and reduce pesticide exposure. Organic plants also contain 10-15% more phenolics–defense compounds believed to help in preventing cancer. These chips also help with keeping teeth and gums healthy and clean.
●	USDA USA Lamb Tripe Chips, Weasands and Hearts — These chews, from Colorado and the Rocky Mountains, are processed in a Human Grade USDA-HAACP Certified Manufacturing Facility. They are made from free-ranging, grass-fed USA lamb, feature: NO irradiation; NO chemical processing; NO hormones, antibiotics, or steroids; NO preservatives or nitrates; NO fillers, additives or added flavors; NO smoking or basting; and, NO colors or dye, so they won't stain carpet. Weasands are gullets twisted together to form a lamb jerky/chew and the hearts are dehydrated organ meat. The tripe chips, which are high in protein, rich in digestive enzymes, and contain essential omega-3 & omega-6 fatty acids, improve a dog’s skin and coat. These are all great for the teeth and gums, and those with allergies or on lamb diets.	●	Thick Bully Sticks and Beef Trachea (Moo) Tubes — From free ranging, grass-fed (no feed) South American cattle, these USDA & FDA approved chews feature: NO irradiation; NO chemical processing; NO hormones, antibiotics, or steroids; NO preservatives or nitrates; NO fillers, additives or added flavors; NO smoking or basting; and, NO dye, so they won't stain carpet. Trachea or Moo tubes are a source high in natural Chondroitin, a substance that helps to form, nourish, and replace collagen, which helps make up our cartilage. For variety, you can fill these tubes with peanut butter or nonfat plain yogurt and pop it in the freezer to make a great crunchy, frosty snack. Check out these recipes.

Our dogs are always chewing or sucking on something. From puppyhood, they, like babies, love to put things in their mouths. Given the prevalence of oral cancers, we wondered if their dog toys were safe and non-toxic. Do I want my dog chewing on toys that have PVC (polyvinyl chloride, a toxic chemical) in the plastic? Do I want him ingesting processed materials or those made using pesticides and growth hormones? We don't think so. That is why this collection also includes a SimplyFido 100% Organic & Dye-Free Limited Edition Character Plush Bone Toy.

This 9 inch long toy’s fabric and stuffing are grown without pesticides or herbicides, preventing your dog from ingesting toxic materials. Organically grown, the fibers are unbleached, untreated, and unprocessed. The company uses their unique PureWaterWash™ process to achieve their charming colors. The untreated cotton is then woven and color-brightened through Mother Nature's own plants and minerals. Beige comes from a Chestnut Bur, red from the Madder Root, yellow from a Gardenia Seed, and grey from the mineral Charcoal The fabric is then triple-washed in pure water to set the color. As a result, each toy has its own unique appearance and color variance.

There are four characters in this collection (Lolly Lamb, Lucy Rabbit, Wally Bear, Oscar Monkey), but the quantity is very limited so allow us to choose the character. Once these are gone, a plush SimpyFido tall plush toy will be utilized.

This collection includes your choice of a PawPrints Scrapbook or Journal—the two ways to capture memories . . . from the beginning. These large size books are simply wonderful. The scrapbook allows you to take an impression of your dog's paw, while the journal allows you to get an ink footprinting. And, both have a slot on the cover for you to place your favorite photo. We also really love the pre-printed entry pages in the journal as they provide a great outline for you to record information (e.g., favorite toys, etc.).

Collecting your dog's most expressive and fun photos and sticking them in a scrapbook is a wonderful way to celebrate your special bond. You can also use special embellishments to make your Pawprints scrapbook or journal attractive, adorning it with ribbons, first collars, baby teeth, and more. You can note progress in dog training classes, note accomplishments, and record difficulties as well. You would otherwise forget about these over time, but scrapbooking or keeping a journal will keep these memories for a lifetime.
