They also list the ingredients on their packages and web site. I spoke with a woman at Wellness about this but don't have my notes in front of me now. So it makes sense that they would test these two products - the treats and bars.

On past problems, I discoved single complaints were often ignored. I found that petitions got more interest (especially if leaked to the media). The more signatures the better. I may draft one myself and send the signatures to our ELECTED officials. Has anyone considered passing around a petition to friends and other animal lovers?
