Roland's dog Meg

She truly loves her Search & Rescue work. She passed her level 2 route and path assessment in March '11 and is working well towards her 3 level area tests.

"Meg was fed ordinary mass produced dry food. When we started SAR we were introduced to CSJ and initially tried Champ but have since moved to CP21 it has given a noticeable improvement in her coat. She loves her CSJ food and it gives her the energy for search and rescue." Roland Brooks
