I think Martinelli’s is the only apple juice produced in America from American produce.
It was the food. I can’t feed our cat cheap food, or it will scratch itself raw. When researching why cheaper foods cause the cat’s skin sensitivity problem, I discovered something quite disturbing. Most cheap pet foods contain rendered euthanized cats, dogs, roadkill, diseased animals...
The only reason I bought Science Diet was the kennel swore by it. They said that cats need something to prevent urinary tract infections.
If possible, purchase directly from your local family farmers. Fresher foods, fewer middlemen, usually lower costs, certainty of the foodstuff origins and no money going to the Red Chinese or their PLA front businesses.
Maybe. But here’s more from the FDA.”The FDA has found melamine, a component of fertilizers and plastic utensils, in the gluten, but that may not be the culprit, said Sundlof, director of the FDAs Center for Veterinary Medicine.
Melamine is not very toxic as a chemical, so were wondering why we are seeing the kinds of serious conditions, especially the kidney failure, that were seeing in cats and dogs, he said.
We are focusing on the melamine right now because we believe that, even if melamine is not the causative agent, it is somehow associated with the causative agent, so it serves as a marker, Sundlof said Thursday. “
Not a very strong condemnation of melamine. The theory sounds bogus to me. Melamine isn’t cheap and to use it to bump the N content for a higher price makes little economic sense. Urea would be better.
