So very sorry about your loss.
Mine died 12-27 but the dumb vets here didn't know what it was. There were no blood tests done so I can't be sure what the problem was. He did have Cushings Disease and was elderly but went downhill in 24 hours.
What I would like to know from everyone what IS THE BEST dogfood {DRY} out there. One that we can be sure does not use wheat from China etc. I know some of the big ones have had problems over the years even with dry food getting mold.
Thank you for your concern.
Found this interesting blog where people were losing their pets before they did the testing.

It is very sad for all concerned.

You must keep unused pouches frozen - no preservatives.
For the best diet period - BARF your animal. http://www.barfworld.com/

I find most "pet" owners too cheap to take total responsibility for their animals well being - this stuff is pricy compared to the junk most animals are fed.
Do you really love your animal or is it just a fashion statement?
Here is a link to a pic of my 10 1/2 year old GSD who had been on these 3 items most of his life. http://www.mysafetyofprincipal.com/ according to his vet @ 116 lbs he was the equivalent of a 110 year old human at this time.
