Hi Miranda,
TSE feeds Pro Plan Sport to their Labs and, probably, their Goldens. They
feed Eukanuba to the German shepherds.

HTH and y'all have a nice Sunday! Real nice here in San Diego! June Gloom
is just about gone and time for July Fry! Then more heat in August thru
November.

Lyn and Aristotle
