72 vaccines by the time they are 18 is dreadful.

And just as an aside, we do it to our dogs and cats too. "Gee, I wonder why so many of them die of cancer. It must be genetic. Yeah, that's it." (Of course the awful processed crap we feed them is a contributor too.)

Here's a horrifying story about dog food. I lived in Quebec until 1978. My husband was an electrician and was asked to do an electrical repair at a dog food processing plant. It was months later that he told me what he had witnessed there. He knew it would upset me and thus the delay. He was in a room with a conveyor belt going into a big vat. The conveyor belt was full of dead dogs that were being processed for dog food. He thought the dead bodies were from unfortunate dogs who had been euthanized by veterinarians.

IтАЩve heard that before. IтАЩd think it would give dogs prion disease plus that euthanasia juice would pretty quickly do dogs inтАж

And horses too. My horse had this new five way vaccine. Within a week she had a nephrosplenic entrapment and that was the beginning of the end. It doesnтАЩt appear they were related, but who knows?

Yes on foods for our cats and dogs. Wonder what is goodтАж

We used to just feed dogs and cats table scraps. Not saying the food we have today would be a good option for them, anymore than it is for us.

ThatтАЩs their natural food. ThereтАЩs a new book out called Our Oldest Companions that I want to read. Also picked up The Forever Dog about feeding them healthier.
