Carolyn Evans of phoDOGrapher has had the pleasure of photographing Cincinnati’s furry friends for more than a decade.

Iams
My Furry Valentine is overjoyed to again partner with our Top Dog Sponsor, Iams! When Iams was founded in 1946, Paul F. Iams sought out new ways to create premium, quality pet foods that would help give dogs and cats happy, healthy, and long lives. He spent time with breeders and nutritionists and learned the importance of protein and the role of fat in pet food diets. Iams was the first to consider dogs and cats primarily as carnivores, a perception which revolutionized the pet food industry. Paul Iams’ belief that advanced nutrition would help make a substantive difference in the health of pets has become the basis for innovation after innovation. Iams believes the only way to provide the best possible food and pet care products is to know dogs and cats better than anyone else in the industry. They believe that through innovative research and breakthroughs, and by following our unique nutritional philosophy we can enhance the lives of millions of pets around the world.
