If I go to all cooked (again), do you have any info on what brand(s) of supplements to feed them? As mentioned, I tried Dr. Goodpet and 2 got sick, but perhaps it was just switching them over to all homecooked. How about Dr. Weil's people vitamins/minerals in the right amounts? Worrisome as we've learned that most of these things come from China. Comment by Donna — May 9, 2007 @ 11:15 am

Why on Earth....would we find the daily dying and illnesses of a growing amountof beloved pets ENTERTAINING?.... These blogs have been nothing less than informative......but the pain and anger as well as deception on the part of people we trusted.....is FAR, from entertaining!... What a SADISTIC and cold comment that was on her part!...Shame..shame...shame!!!! In addition to my last post…I would like to ask her this question?

Cuz, only THEY know what's nutritionally sound in the long run for our pets huh?.....Ummmm...you think that a week or so listening to seminars given by those in the PFI makes them more credible at this point?.... Who do you think you're fooling?....Well to all of you who DO home-feed and have HEALTHY pets....my hats off to you for making claims like these a "scare tactic" we see used over and over again by Vets like this who SLEEP in the same "Dirty Beds" with the PFI! She is right about ONE thing (and only one thing imo) the blogs are a place to vent....perhaps that is because of the others who are responsible for this tragedy in the first place....who won't listen or be forthcoming! and to that final note, I shall conclude to her and others like her......"BARK-OFF!!!"

Someone needs to step up, take responsibility and figure some way to make things better to re-establish trust with pet owners. Comment by JanC — May 9, 2007 @ 7:49 am

Easier for sensitive tummies. I'm certainly no expert . . . yet, but I may be soon. Comment by Maureen, May 9, 2007 8:23am
