Hi Jean -- I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mellie was truly a special dog and your memories of her brought a smile to my face. I thought to myself how...
Hi Kris, I think the point of this discussion is that some foods work for one dog while not working for another. Everyone has to find what works best for...
