insurance. They will spend so much money on cat and dog food but not on health insurance. I gather if you get ill in America the care you get from your fellow citizens will be the complaints from the smell of your rotting body.
so if you are in the working poor or you lose your job you feel you should be abandoned? How much is spent directly or indirectly on dogs and cats?
Apparently some feel health care should not be a basic right because it is a basic need. Apparently they like their dogs but their neighbors/ well apparently he can drop dead. Is this part of why the damage after the huurican in Loiusianna is still there? Its sad. But the insurance companies must be thrilled.

Have you noticed the increase in dry pet food price?




I went to Petsmart to get some food for the critters and noticed (how could I not?) that prices on Purina Pro Plan dry food had been increased a dollar. So had so had the Nutro Dry. We consumers are obviously paying for this past pet food recall, the pet store lost money so now the prices have been jacked. How fair is THAT? Its the store not the pet food companies on that I will bet! Has anyone else noticed this? and has the dog food price gone up as well? it really sucks, why do WE have to pay for their loss I am sure they have insurance against losses like this recall, any pet store owners know anything OWNERS OF INDEPENDENT SHOPS NOT THE CHAINS?
the first answer kind of exasperates me.. its like oh well.. but why sould we have to just take what they shove down our throats and up our butts , maybe we should boycott go to an independent store for awhile.i mean should we just lay down for being price gouged everywhere where is our backbone in the USA anymore?
is there no time for a backbone is that it?
ps i do not own a pet store

What venison food should I switch my dog over to?




I’m in a dilemma, I have been feeding my dog Nutro Venison and Brown Rice dry food. He has had some pretty bad skin reactions to other food in the past (he’s a lab), but the venison seemed to be very good for him. The problem is that Nutro has not shipped the Venison and Brown Rice food to stores for the past 3+ months, apparently they are having some "packaging issues"? So now I am almost out of his food. Does anyone have any recommendations for another brand of dog food that makes a venison food?

I’ve read the back of dog food bags & it mostly depends on the weight of the dog. But I’ve heard different things some say 2 years others say 1 year. I heard on the news after 6 months because the puppy food makes them gain a lot of weight. Who is correct? Thanks!

More specifically, whats in dog treats thats so different from regular dog food, and makes dogs freak over their treats? Why isnt this just added to regular dog food to make it more appealing to dogs, not that it really matters?
