Thanks! (and I didn’t think you were accusing; I was lamenting that there’s only so much I (we) can do in terms of this subject.:( )

Oh Claire, I am not being accusatory by any means. I understand the limits and the choices that have to be made. We stumbled upon all of this info when we traversed deeper into the vegetarianism and animal rights end of our ethics, but that is what we do. It’s criminal that the good food (both for people and their dogs) is always the more expensive choice. Pip has allergies so we had to get the better food. He chews his bum off if we get the cheaper stuff. But we can afford that right now. I am absolutly sure that you are a fantastic doggy mommy

It’s just so hard to avoid a lot of that stuff, especially if you don’t have a lot of money to spend. Zoey’s one-starch-one-meat food is very expensive but she needs it for her skin condition. I try to be the best pet mommy I can be…

We get this food for our beagles http://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/home/aboutus.html
Royal Canin does test, but it seems to be a more humane – http://www.royalcanin.us/campus.html
It’s a hard choice and you have to pick your fights. I just think the recycling of nasty animal bits into anything – fodder for cattle or “protien” for companion animal food- is mad nasty.

They test?!? Really? The one I use is a brand called Royal Canin but it’s called like IVD or something. I buy it at the vet but you can also get it at Petsmart in their RX section. I’m sorry I use food that tests on beagles

One of my dogs is on a special veinson and potato only food. The other two eat Purina ONE and I want to believe that’s a safe one.
