Who Let The Dogs Out? Canine Social At The Belltown Pub To Launch "belltown Pup" Menu

It makes sense to invite a best friend of the four-legged kind out to a favorite watering hole, both for companionship, gossip and a few laughs. At The Belltown Pub, co-owners Erwin "Astro" Arceo, Dave "Deputy Dog" Tolan and Chef Zac "Zippy" Nethercutt encourage patrons to bring their dog in to enjoy the Pub's latest addition, "The Beltown Pup" menu. At 6:30 pm on May Day Dog Day, May 1st, a "Who Let the Dogs Out" canine social party will be held to kick-off this specialty menu. While the proverbial "sniff out" takes place, their two-legged escorts can lap up special veracious cocktails specifically shaken for the occasion. Lucky pups will be able to sample the four new doggie delicacies featured on the dog-bone shaped menu for free at the hosted taste-up, otherwise priced at $5 each.

"My best gal Bella was my inspiration," says Arceo. She often comes with me to work and our guests love her...in fact, she often sits in for me on those dog-day afternoons."

The "Pup" will offer four nutritious dishes of canine cuisine for pooches to enjoy while their owners dine on top quality libations, great eats and craft beer. All canines are welcome as long as they eat responsibly and keep their owners in tow with a lengthy leash. A "green zone" will be provided for rover relief.

The "Belltown Pup" menu:

Grain Free Chicken, Sweet Potato and Pumpkin
With fresh de-boned chicken as its first ingredient, this meal uses nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables instead of grains for optimal canine health. For all breeds and life stages, it contains probiotics supporting healthy immune and digestive systems. A mixture of flaxseed, omegas 3 and 6, are added for healthy joint, skin, and coat.

Pacific Salmon from the Bluest Oceans
Salmon Bleu is a hypoallergenic diet with an optimal balance of essential nutrients. High in Omega 3 fatty acids and natural antioxidants, this premium grain-free diet with smoked salmon makes a delicious gourmet meal and is ideal for dogs of all life stages.

New Zealand Free Range Venison
Viva La Venison is a mouth-watering treat that will satisfy any dog. Served with a generous dose of fruits and vegetables, probiotics are included for overall health and vitality. This wholesome meal, formulated without grains, is also ideal for sensitive dogs of all life stages.

Low Carb Turkey and Chicken
EVO Weight Management Dry Dog Food is grain free. By removing ALL grain from the diet, EVO minimizes starch or carbohydrate intake while maximizing the concentration of protein. In fact, EVO provides high-quality protein at a level that is among the highest available anywhere.

With 20% more protein and 30% less fat than the Turkey & Chicken Formula, EVO Weight Management dog food is a first-of-its-kind extreme protein dog food containing less than 11% total carbohydrates.
