[nagdu] Canidae

[Tracy Carcione]

I talked to the dogfood advisor.  He says first canned bland food, and
clay.  Clay?  He says it will bind up any toxins in the gut and move them
on out.  I suppose it will soak up moisture as well.  There's a certain
sense to it, but it's a weird idea to feed my boy dirt.  Not so sure about
that.
I'll head over there after work and talk to the guy in person.  Naturally
it's boiling hot outside, but that's the way it goes. My home cures are
clearly not working very well.

>> Hi Tracy,
>>
>> I have been feeding Canidae for some time now, first the platinum to my
>> Merry dog when she was older, and to Fallon since she came home from
>> TSE.
>> I
>> give her the ALS four meats, and she has done well on it. I remember a
>> few
>> months ago reading something from Canidae  that the look of their bags
>> was
>> changing, but not their same great formula, or some such let's put the
>> consumer at ease statement.
>> I have had to ckut back on the amount I give Fallon as she was gaining
>> weight, but that could certainly be due to her age, (she's approaching
>> seven, doggone it)   We haven't had loose stool problems.
>> I'm at the point with dog food where I'm not paranoid but I don't
>> totally
>> trust any of the companies. But ain't that the truth when it comes to
>> our
>> food as well, especially cereals.
>>
>> I'm assuming Ben is now on Platinum?
>> Keep me, or the list, posted.
>>
>> Warm regards
>> Sherrill and Fallon

>> I really don't know what to think. The usual methods aren't working. I'm
