[Peter Wolf]

Does anyone know how to remove “spam” from my messages?  That just showed up in my response.  Thanks, Peter

They are the best, cleanest one we?ve found so far currently.  Different flavors have different ingredients.  I have the store people go over the label with me when I buy.  And, I *always* ask them to give feedback to the companies? reps for any food that isn?t up to par.  Most flavors might be fine, but then Canola will surface next week on a label for one flavor we had a few months ago.

That will sort out one mystery quickly.  We give the girls raw, and then they can graze 24/7 on the dry.  As long as they don?t get fat, we?re ok with that.  They are 6 now, and have perfectly regulated weight. That issue, should it ever happen, can be handled by daily portioning food.  And proteins generally?  We rotate, once every few months.  Animals, and us too, are genetically set up to have variation.  So varying would be optimal for a good immune system.   Unless it is chocolate, which I believe for humans (not dogs of course), is one of the four food groups.
