Dick Van Patten eats dog food and loves it! Normally this would be a huge insult, but not to Van Patten. The actor of Eight is Enough fame, is one of the founders of Natural Balance Pet Foods. The difference between his dog food and other brands is that Natural Balance is made in United States in a factory regulated under the USDA for quality. There are no fillers or preservatives in his food.
His line in Natural Balance Estables dog food is made with ingredients so natural humans can consume it and actually enjoy the food! The dog food comes in four different flavors: Irish Stew, Chinese Take-out with Sauce, Hobo Chili and Spaghetti with Beef in Meat Sauce. If you are lucky enough to get to meet Van Patten, you will have to sample his dog food! Van Patten says “My favorite is Irish Stew, I like it, it is tasty and there is nothing bad in it.”
Van Patten’s pet food is not only used for household pets but also in zoos and wild animal parks all over the world. “As an actor, I always travel and make sure that I go to the zoo in the city I am staying in. I love zoos,” states Van Patten. He has a partnership with the San Diego Zoo where all the bears, tigers, lions and birds of prey chow down on his zoological formulas. His food is also used to feed Siegfried and Roy’s white tigers.
Van Patten is the spokesman for National “Dine with Your Dog Day” which is October 21, 2006. Governors and mayors are signing on their states and cities to officially declare the day, “Dine with Your Dog Day”.
