And some companies will do anything to have a good looking bottom line.<br /><br />We only eat fish that is for humans and then, not too much. It's good you've found different foods for each of your dogs that agrees with them. <br /><br />I've been itchy since we changed from a raw food diet to dry food, even though it is a highly regarded brand. It seems to be the only difference in my environment. The other two have no problem. I'm hoping to go back to raw food.<br /><br />XXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & BellaBella Roxy & Macduihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268052368797347239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336283699663453373.post-24068089373152912162010-08-05T20:42:42.556-04:002010-08-05T20:42:42.556-04:00You are so right about knowing the sources and ing...You are so right about knowing the sources and ingredients of our food. The labels can be so deceptive. We are fortunate that Bucky has been living on home made meals.
