I learned long ago that you have to carefully read the labels. You don't buy anything that says "animal" fat, "animal" meal, "animal" digest. It must state the specific source, such as, lamb, chicken, beef etc. Pat Castle Kennels, Ltd.

In the Merck Manual there is a section for proper disposal of the " 4 D's" - dead , dying, diseased animal and it was pretty specific. So how is the pet food industry getting away with this? debi james ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
