Sadly, to make mfrs responsible we have to hit them in their pocketbook. Sadly, too, if $$$ is their primary concern, they'll just try alternate chemicals to use if their sales drop. Shipping & shelf-life stability is their target plus using the cheapest ingredients to keep prices low enough to make volume sales. The thing I never thought about before is the poison used to euthanize animal carcasses. That poison stays in the carcass meat when its rendered for pet food ~ ugh! I'm shuddering just thinking about it! & expensive prices is not a guarantee of quality or safety.
She looks so playful. She is very happy w/you! I hope Nancy Rose likes her new bed. Dogs seem to be good about using their doggie beds once they get the message that people beds are off limits. When DD adopted her 2nd big dog they couldn't have 2 big dogs sleeping in their people bed so they bought 2 large doggie beds. DD says its getting difficult to pick up a big dog if it has to go to the vet as she & her DH are getting older now. So their next rescue if they get one will be a smaller size.
Riley ~ DD's 1st Pit-mix was rescued at 4-mo-old but grew to have many health problems & passed ~ she hated other dogs. DD spent thousands on professional lessons to break the habit but nothing worked

Next, DD rescued a smaller Pit-mix who needed eye surgery that the rescue group couldn't afford so DD adopted her & paid for surgery ~ this girl is excellent w/other dogs & people too

This Golden Retriever was adopted from DD's Alzheimer's mom-in-law. She is a huge breed but gets along well w/all animals & people.

I can't imagine their vet bills w/ 2 big dogs so I'm grateful we have 6 small hens
This non-bearded silly Silkie keeps me laughing just looking at her

I almost lost Little CeeCee too, but she found her way home.
