The product is a high quality dog food made in Canada. “Because our hobby is dogs, it would be foolish ta get into something that takes us off into another direction,’’ said Pati. The Dougans have owned pure bred dogs since 1971. They say they’ve spent a lot of time, money and love on the an- timals. “We don’t ‘do things in a big way but we try to do it right,” said Pati. * The Dougans say they like TLC because its been formulated to help improve a dog’s digestion and reduce waste products, . Distribution is through mail or det. The product is delivered by courier within two weeks of manufacture so the shelf life is _less than most other dog foods available in the market, . Heat resistant Vitamin C and natural Vitamin E are used as nat- ‘ural preservatives as opposed to artificial ones, Packaging is basic. The dog BUSINESS ‘VENTURE proves to be tasteful experiance for Aramis, John and Pati Dougan are pictured here with their pet Giant Schnauser Aramis and bag of his favourite TLC dog food. food comes in a lékg box that contains two Skg plastic bags, Marketing is mainly through word of mouth admitted the Dougans but they say they may do some advertising to let people know the product is available in this area. “We heard about TLC dog food from a friend in Smithers,’’ said Pati. “A family pet is really impor- tant to us, I think they improve the quality of peoples lives, if we can offer people something to make the qualily of their pets life better that’s great,’” said Pati.
