PUP IT UP! The First Annual Dog-Human Fitness Video Contest from Weider Pet Health

Online, March 25, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Are you a master at motivating your dog to stay lean and mean, while keeping trim yourself?

The team of experts at Weider Pet Health has launched a search for the most innovative and creative canine/human workout ideas with its first annual PUP IT UP! Dog-Human Video Contest. Do you have a special toy or game? Do you and your dog get the other pups and people at the dog park all revved up for exercise? The funnier the video the better, as long as it provides real exercise that benefits both your dog and you.

"Exercise is an innate need for dogs, and owners who engage in more physical activity to address this need automatically enjoy better health themselves," says Franco Cavaleri, BSc., leading pet wellness expert and nutritional biochemist who recently teamed up with Weider Pet Health to develop the Advanced Canine-Wellness Solutions line of nutritional supplements. "Regular exercise helps humans and canines maintain muscle mass and improve cardiovascular function, both keys to health, wellness, functionality and longevity," says Cavaleri.

The winning video will garner the starring dog and human companion a year's supply of Advanced Canine-Wellness Solutions Nutritional Supplements. Beginning in February 2010, anyone interested in entering the contest should go to www.weiderpethealth.com and click on PUP IT UP! for more contest information. Videos, which should not exceed sixty seconds in length, can be directly uploaded onto the site.

Advanced Canine Wellness Solutions from Weider Pet Health™ debuted in Petco stores in fall 2009 and range in price from $15 - 19. For further information, please visit www.weiderpethealth.com.
