Laurie, this post really hit home with me.  I lost my 10 year old Lab
to cancer
last Saturday and I know it must have been caused by the trash that

dog food.  Next puppy will definitely be fed meat and bones.  Please
let me
know about feeding dogs this way, as I want to get it right next time.

tia, Jan
