Recently, I was chasing her around the yard with a cup in my hand trying to get close enough to her while she is “doing her business” to collect the necessary sample. This can be an exercise in frustration. Read more

Yet, dog food companies are not required to report the levels of dietary starch or sugars in their foods. Read more
