I was actually doing some research into kibble last week. No matter what vitamins are added (and they are the cheapest synthetic versions of the vitamins) it is all destroyed by the cooking process which is known as extrusion. Pet food producers use all the throw aways that are considered unfit for human consumption. This includes intestines, udders, esophagi, and possibly diseased and cancerous animal parts. You know that strong smell that dry dog food has....... its from Animal and Poultry Fat It is most often rendered animal fat, restaurant grease, or other oils too rancid or deemed unfit for humans. "Fat blenders" or rendering companies pick up this used grease from restaurants etc. and mix the different types of fat together, then use stablizers with powerful antioxidants to retard further spoilage, and then sell the blended products to pet food companies and other users. These fats are sprayed directly onto dried kibbles or extruded pellets to make an otherwise bland or distasteful product palatable. The fat also acts as a binding agent for other things to be added to the food. Dog food companies are masters at getting a dog or a cat to eat things they would normally refuse to eat. Then there are the preservatives, sequestering agents (thats what they add to make the food clean the teeth).........Dont get me started!!

I will PM you some numbers for Bowen and a good chiropractor. yodels -
I have been to George, Kevin, Alan (the one who wears overalls) and another one (cant remember his name) but I have found the best one of all to be Tony in Hampton Park. He definitely helps my psycho dogs. All they ever seem to do is race around madly and smash into each other all the time and knock their backs, legs, shoulders you name it out of place. They really should be wrapped in cotton wool and kept in the display cabinet in between shows Ah well what do you do? Gotta love em!

Dog Not Eating After Vaccinations
squirrel replied to girl05's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I am sooooo very sorry to hear about what has happened to your beloved dog. I would never consider giving 2 vaccinations at the same time as well as heartworm medication too. Its just overloading the dogs immune system with too many toxins. We always space out any vaccinations and/or medications that our dogs may need just to be on the safe side. We almost lost our daughter to a vaccine reaction years ago after being told it was completely safe. Never believe everything you are told by the so called "experts", always go with your gut feeling and do your own research is what I believe. I hope your dog will have a long and happy life after this awful ordeal. How stressful! Give him a hug from us !
