But I understand your concern. That was a scary time, when melamine was found to be in a lot of pet food.<br /><br />Janie, it's a lot of fun to spoil pets! Of course, like kids, they come to expect it... Your parents' pup is definitely lucky.Linda O.

The dog and cats get some turkey, too that I buy at Costco. Goldy gets some grated cheese sprinkled on her food.<br /><br />I love them.

It's really great that you coddle your cats into old age.<br /><br />I get it, Julie--and glad you found some food that works for everyone.Linda O.

We had never had a family pet, so we kept her and one of her kittens. At some point a vet told my mother that the cat was having trouble digesting regular food, so for the rest of her life my mother fed her baby food (human)--that pureed meat goop. I guess it helped, since the cat lived to be eighteen.Sheila Connollyhttp://www.sheilaconnolly.comnoreply@blogger.com
