Don’t know if too many dogs will eat chocolate flavored Pedigree.

Mars, which is based in McLean, Va., and has $35 billion in annual sales, is the privately held maker of such candy brands as M&Ms, Snickers...

I’m glad they beat out Panda Express in the bidding war.

Mar’s has had a pet food division for a long time. It’s only a few miles from here.
I hear it’s an interesting place to work. You can bring your pets with you as long as they are well behaved. And candy bars are free.
I guess the pet food division has decided to branch into veterinary services.

American made Animal Crackers or are we exporting dogs to Korea?

Over 40% of Mars is pet related.

VCA South Shore was wonderful with Lynn-Dah-The-Dog, both with her emergency care and end of life care.
I wish them well.

Those particular pet foods are among the junkiest on the market. They are FULL of grains like corn, rice bran, corn bran, hulls, and wheat mill run, which have no nutritional significance for obligate carnivores like cats and dogs. Ingredients like "meat by product meal" or "bone meal" are euphemisms for meat-stuff rendered from sick cows, downers, dead zoo animals, euthanized pets (including the poison to kill them), and roadkill. Artificial preservatives like BHT, BHA, and sodium nitrite can be dangerous for pets they have been linked to increased risk for cancer and other health problems. These kinds of brands have that stuff in them. Did you know that "protein", according to gubmint standards, can include very low quality proteins like ground lungs, hooves, noses, and other noisome disgusting stuff. Premium brands like Wellness specify that they use human grade muscle meat for proteins. You get what you pay for, and you see the difference in your pet and how much they leave on the lawn or litter box.

Banfield really, really sucks.
A very poor value. Also, the vets were all 3rd world foreigners who, in their own country, would likely view my pet as a food source.

First, I won’t take any of my pets to Banfield. Second, the vet I use to treat my dogs left after the Vet clinic became part of the VCA franchise. I recently found where she resumed her practiced and moved all my pets’ records to that vet clinic. After the newly franchised VCA clinic remodeled and restructured they raised the price on everything by almost 15 to 20 percent. This told me where their priorities lay. They have the only emergency clinic in town so I have to take my pets there only in an emergency after hours.
Now I am glad I removed my pets care from this newly converted to VCA franchise.
