I believe the chief complaint is one that goes back to politics. Specifically, PTGDU is an ACB affiliate.

In the past, other people asked about products on this list such as toys and health supplements and those questions and answers were allowed. There was a big discussion about what dog products should be put in the NFB store.  Julie Johnson and her company have been mentioned on this list.  What is the difference?

These crates can also be useful at medical or dental appointments, gyms, in hotel rooms, and more. Please note: Sport Pet Crates are not intended to be used as an every-day crate, or for dogs that object to being crated. Available in three sizes. The large size measures 36"L x 21.5"W x 21.5"H. When collapsed, it takes the shape of a 12.5" circle. $21.00.

>> A must-have for every dog's Christmas stocking! Before venturing out in the snow and ice, be sure to add a layer of this creamy, non-toxic wax on your dog's pads to protect against harmful salt and chemicals. A combination of Mushers Secret Paw Wax and lightweight protective rubber booties is a popular choice for dogs with sensitive paws. Musher's Secret also helps to fend off dry, cracked pads -- just rub the wax into the dog's pads and between its toes every few days. A portion of the wax can easily be transferred into a smaller pocket-sized container for the times when you and your dog are on the go. $17.00 and up depending on size.
