I finally downloaded the September online format of the WDJ I get. There is an article on pet food industry changes. Just a handful of companies who care more about the dogs than proprietary issues participated. One was Eagle Pack. This is a wonderful company I know but their food is pretty much chicken based if I recall correctly. Anyway they talked about eliminating china sources on ingredients but one thing they mentioned in so many words was that the supplements Taurine and Glucosamine are not available from non China based sources. I don't know if that has to do with just the ones added into foods if they are formulated differently or if it has to do with the entire supplement industry. What I do know is that Met takes both of these supplements. I had been sitting here today wondering if his food could have played a role in his fast deterioration and now i am left with my mouth gaping open if this is in fact what could be going on. It never once occurred to me to question supplements also when all this pet food industry train wreck began. I may never know the full scope of what has happened with Met and that may be the hardest part of it all. Learning why Curio died in 2001 truly saved my sanity.
