Join dog owners across the UK in the 2009 Oscar Pet Foods

Press release date: 4-Aug-2009

There’s one day in the year when it’s official - you can take your dog to work! The Blue Cross pet charity encourages dog owners to become involved and bring their career-seeking canines to enjoy one day of stealing the limelight. Time spent in each other’s company is all part of bonding a relationship, forming, as Oscar would say: ‘A happier, healthier and longer life together’.

Wednesday 16th September is the official day but if you’re an Oscar Pet Food Nutritional Advisor you could take your dog to work every day. In promoting responsible pet ownership Oscar knows that its Complete Pet Care Service delivers, direct to the door, a range of foods to suit many lifestyles – complete with free advice on nutrition and behaviour plus health care products, toys, treats and training aids.

A career opportunity with Oscar will open a whole new way of life. Working from home and delivering a quality product to a very satisfied customer gives you a great future that is supported and secure.

Brian Hulme joined Oscar in 2003 and his dogs Molly and Maisy are his regular companions at work. They are a great advert for the Oscar product bringing new customers wherever they go - while adding a social element to a business that has given him something to believe in.

Thanks to Molly & Maisy, Brian learns from their life-changing experiences; they say there’s a book in everyone and Molly & Maisy are helping him build a repertoire of pet information to support his customer service.

Who say’s you can’t take your dog to work?

Oscars Background
We’re a family business that started life making good honest pet food for working dogs and supermarkets. It was a fantastic start with formulations for Sainsbury’s and Linda McCartney.

Experts in Pet Nutrition
We have always believed that when it comes to nutrition it's too important to settle for second best.

We discovered that a local OSCAR Nutritional Advisor is the best person to give friendly, expert advice. Whether the pet is fat or thin, young or old, healthy, has allergies or is generally tearing the place apart, OSCAR can help. our aim is to make life easier for pet owners across the UK.

In 1993, we took matters into our own hands and the first OSCAR franchise was established.

Repeat Business
OSCAR customers are delighted with our service and remain loyal, often referring friends and family.
