Eukanuba and IRO - ensuring the readiness of rescue dogs

Eukanuba and International Rescue Dog organization (IRO) recently signed a new 3-year partnership. As many high performing dogs globally benefit from premium nutrition provided by Eukanuba, this seemed like an obvious move for both parties.

IRO and Eukanuba work together to develop joint programs to improve the readiness of dogs participating in rescue missions and ensure access to health care for rescue dogs needing professional care.

Dr. Wolfgang Zörner, IRO President commented, "I am looking forward to long-term cooperation with Eukanuba. This partnership is based on our common commitment to excellence in making rescue dogs worldwide perform at their best and support the member organizations of the IRO."

Richard Learwood, Global Marketing Director for Eukanuba added: "For the past 40 years, Eukanuba has been providing world-class nutrition to millions of dogs worldwide including high performing dogs. I am extremely pleased that through this partnership we will help IRO fulfill their mission of maximizing performance and health of all dogs raised and trained to save lives."

Based in Salzburg, Austria, IRO, was founded in 1993 at the 5th International Rescue Dog Symposium in Sweden. Its mission is to be the worldwide umbrella organization for all national rescue dog groups that are dedicated to saving, protection from injury, and preserving human health and well-being through the use of dogs. IRO is collaborating in accordance with the UN relief organizations regarding rescue-dogs. To learn more, visit http://www.iro-dogs.org.
