She does that to everybody (says they use shock collars).
Don't let her put you on the defensive. She's the one who
malnourished her dog through her own incompetence, she's the
one practicing veterinary medicine without a license, she's
the one who repeatedly commits intellectual property theft,
she's the one who doesn't know what simple words mean, etc.
When she's unable to answer a question she makes stuff up
about the people she's, uh, "discussing" with. It's just
that simple.

Actually, what I was hoping was that she would show me where
he-who-shall-not-be-named has ever even accused me using a shock collar or
even of having out of control dogs. Without me having to read all his
garbage. More curious than defensive.

Can't you guys ever get the quotes right?

I think you're the one with the quoting deficiency. Thanks for the
laugh, though.

what do you think of all the reports of diarrhea with the formula
change for Canidae?

I don't know. I fed Canidae over the summer and nobody had
diarrhea. However, I switch feeds regularly enough that I
think my dogs have pretty robust digestive systems.

What does "all the reports" mean?


oh in "newf" land (a couple of listservrs and a large active
international website) almost every newf I know reacted badly to the
change.

the pet food store I shop at also has heard multiple reports of
diarrhea

None of our customers complained, and none of my dogs had diarrhea.
I'm not quite sure what the hysteria is about, in any case. It's not
like the food had melamine in it, for doG's sake. Some dogs get
diarrhea from food changes, so some dogs got diarrhea.

I've been happy with EVO in the past for some dogs, Prairie, Solid
Gold's Barking at the Moon. For older dogs needing weight reduction
beyond average, Canidae's Platinum has been wonderful.

Solid Gold's been running some really unfortunate ads making
chard-esque claims. For example, they took out an ad in
Mushing in which they asserted:

"All the Oriental dogs, Arctic dogs, dogs from England,
Scotland, Ireland as well as water dogs such as labs and
poodles were fed fish and sea vegetation for hundreds of
years. If you don't feed them a fish-based diet and sea
vegetation, they will scratch at the root of the tail
and lick their feet."

I mean, seriously. That last sentence lost them my
patronage pretty much forever. It's a flat-out lie.

It sure is. Very disappointing that Solid Gold would make such
statements. Do they really, truly, seriously believe that everyone is
too stupid to investigate claims like that?

"Backpeddling"???

Is that handled at the local customer returns desk, or what?

Because, I've got to say, that you should definitely be trying to take back
all the stuff you've been trying to sell here.

Oh dear. Now you're going to make me look for some other food. Gaaah!

If anyone knows of a good quality feed that is on the lower end of the
calorie spectrum (400 KCal/cup), let me know. Otherwise, this is going to
be a loooong few days; I only have 3 gazillion formulas to look over.
