Answer
Q: There are a lot of dog treats on the market. What makes A Dog's LifeTM brand dog treats the best?
A: A lot of treats are labeled with friendly sounding terms like "natural" and "organic" but in actuality they aren't made with human-grade ingredients (ie. they contain fillers and other nasty stuff), they are only partially made with natural ingredients, or they are made outside the U.S. A Dog's LifeTM treats are hand-baked in small batches with 100% natural, local, human-grade ingredients. In addition, A Dog's LifeTM is the first and only dog food company to shamelessly promote its packaging with pictures of its customers.
Answer
Q: What does "organic" mean?
A: Organic food is produced according to legally regulated standards. For crops, it means they were grown without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilizers. For animals, it means they were reared in a humane way without the routine use of antibiotics or growth hormones. Also, organic food is produced without the use of genetically modified organisms (GMO). Organic food contains the stuff we need (beneficial minerals, essential amino acids and vitamins), without the bad stuff that we don't need (artificial colors, flavors, BHA, hydrogenated fats, pesticides, preservatives, by-products, genetically modified crops). Organic farmers don't use chemical fertilizers that pollute our waters and are linked to higher rates of cancer.

Answer
Q: What should I NOT post to the gallery?
A: (1). You cannot submit copyrighted material.
(If you did not take the photo yourself please do not post it to the gallery).
(2). You cannot post pictures of dogs in compromising situations.
(Your submission will be discarded if your dog appears in any sort of danger).
(3). Material containing sexual context of any kind is unacceptable.
Answer
Q: What format and resolution should the photo be?
A: Only good quality photos can make it onto our labels. Color and black and white photos are both acceptable. Save your photo as a .JPG in RGB image mode (not CMYK). Use the lowest compression (or highest quality) setting possible. High compression will make a smaller file size, but will blur your photo and we won't be able to use it.
Make sure your photos have at least 300 dpi and are at least 5.25"(w) X 2.5"(h) - or 1,575(w) x 750(h) pixels, also at 300 dpi. Your file size should be over 1,000K (Kilobytes).

Q: Do you accept non-digital pictures?
