I try to feed my dog all the meat and fat I can afford. A few months ago, Dean Esmay posted the following URLs which discuss fats, and especially trans-fats. I hope he doesn't mind that I'm re-posting them; I just got around to reading them, and I think they're so important that people should take a look at them if they haven't. http://www.solgar.com/nutrition_library/articles/enig1_interview.html http://www.solgar.com/nutrition_library/articles/enig2_interview.html http://www.solgar.com/nutrition_library/articles/enig3_interview.html http://www.enig.com/trans.html John Pavao ---------- I breed and show dogs and there are all sorts of people out there now making their dogs eat like they do - low fat and protein. And, dogs seem to be having more health problems than ever!! My dogs are on the highest protein and fat dog food that I have been able to find - and they thrive ;) --Paula--
