Dr. Coble and I talk frequently about the importance of eating organically grown foods. It is to be pretty certain that pesticides are carcinogenics. How much today are our dogs subjected to pesticides and other poisons, such as wormings? The grain grown today is treated with pesticides and then fed to the animals that are in our dog foods and that grain goes into our dog foods. Feeding Raw??? Better be organic! When we started in dogs 38 years ago, cancer was the NUMBER KILL of Dogs. (Besides shelters) and that has not changed. I believe Cancer is the no one killer of humans also. This is all FOOD for THOUGHT and has not been treated with any pesticides. Carol In a message dated 10/9/2010 11:55:24 A.M.
