THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
Thanks for this. I don't use these brands but I try to keep up on the recalls. I wish I had the energy to make my own dog food so I knew exactly what they were eating.
Yeah, I know what you mean. It's really hard to know what choices to make sometimes. Not that it always works, but I try to go for whatever has the simplest ingredient list. Oh, and anything that has corn syrup. Pure sugar and they use it to keep things chewy or soft. Ugh.
We can just do our best and dance as fast as we can. Lol!
