Going to the Dogs Has Never Been So Much Fun!

Purina Pro Plan Sponsors Toronto Sportsmen's Show

TORONTO, March 14, 2012 /CNW/ - Pro Plan is a proud sponsor of the Toronto Sportsmen's Show, Canada's largest fishing and outdoor show, which takes place March 14-18, 2012 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

The Purina Pro Plan All-Star Dog Show features the famous McCann Trained Dogs, where guests will see the most amazing feats of canine ability known to 'dogkind'. Visitors will be on the edge of their seats as they witness a highly competitive team relay race for dogs, known as Flyball, as well as agility competitions, where dogs compete for speed and agility through a challenging obstacle course.

"Purina is proud to be a sponsor of the Toronto Sportsmen's Show," said Sal Polito, Vice President of Dog Marketing at Nestlé Purina PetCare. "We want to encourage attendees to help us celebrate dogs - both the amazing things they do and the tremendous impact they have on our lives. We look forward to seeing you all at the show!"

Attendees are encouraged to visit the Pro Plan booth for an opportunity to win a one-hour private training session at the McCann Professional Dog Training Facility and be entered in a contest for a chance to win a year's supply of pet food and a $100 gift card to a choice of two pet stores.
