They are looking for 3000 young (2 yr of less) purebred Golden Retrievers, to cooperate in the study of the treatments and possible causes of canine cancer. Do a search for CSU canine cancer study in Denver Post (Jan. 2013) for details. It is a long-term study, so don't expect immediate results - although that is what all of us want and need.JDRSnipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479265781484383703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052720384968058654.post-56013951922942229932013-01-19T00:10:09.533-08:002013-01-19T00:10:09.533-08:00Try using " The Honest Kitchen" dog food...Try using " The Honest Kitchen" dog food in California.

How can it be proved w/out those comprehensive, long term studies? Somewhere out there, global statistics on cancer exist. Sure, the "greasers" and their posses will manipulate numbers, add in other factors (non food/nutrition related of course). <br /><br />I would bet(and double down)that those countries with low cancer rates are focused on diet, nutrition and lifestyle. Fresh food purchased daily or home grown w/out pesticides. Local and controlled.<br /><br />Here in the good ole USA, the Amish are commited to living simple, productive lives, with clean and local food. Is this benefiting their health? Perhaps. An OSU study in 2010 showed that cancer rates among the Amish are far lower than in the rest of the American population, not to mention they are healthier than most Americans. It's not a comprehensive, long term study, but it's a start. And starting is hard, but following through and digging in is harder. <br /><br />Food(yep,pun)for thought.<br /><br />VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052720384968058654.post-44541870730416366542013-01-17T08:34:38.034-08:002013-01-17T08:34:38.034-08:00I wonder about the ingredients used in all pet foo...I wonder about the ingredients used in all pet foods - whether name brands or low cost alternatives or high cost specialties. My Golden Retrievers always had digestive problems with chicken-based products, so I switched to beef-based products from a long-standing major brand espousing high quality. But where does the beef products come from? Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, or other off shore sources that are not subject to inspection? Are diseased animals used for the beef? What about the Hebrew processor in the midwest US that was cited for improper processing of beef products for pet foods? I know that pets (dogs especially) seem to be dying of cancer at early ages when in the distant past, they typically lived for 12-15 yrs or more. What's changed? Probably what we are feeding them, and the un-inspected sources of the products used.JDRSnipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479265781484383703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052720384968058654.post-52209928061798631482013-01-17T04:08:04.005-08:002013-01-17T04:08:04.005-08:00I have found that I am always on the confused side...I have found that I am always on the confused side when it comes to purchasing food and treats for my dogs. After losing my Husky Sam to Cancer in 2010, I became even more aware of the ingredients in what I feed them. <br /><br />I went totally to a homemade diet that my Vet shot down abruptly because she warned that food I prepared would not include many of the nutrients and vitamins Canines needed. So, she recommended a kibble. I go and read the ingredients on the kibble...it was Purina Pro Plan...need I say more?<br />So, I've compromised and feed my dogs half and half. Half a kibble that I feel is good for them and then my own homemade blend of meats, veggies, and fruits. <br /><br />It is infuriating that our country allows goods from other countries to come in and be sold when they are totally inferior. It's shameful enough that the Pet Food industry puts out such low quality products for pets right here in the USA but then to import in even worse is just beyond understanding to me.<br /><br />The Eilenberger'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603851888393526676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052720384968058654.post-61997518758585582212013-01-16T19:22:05.526-08:002013-01-16T19:22:05.526-08:00So it sounds like the laws are in place, but they&...So it sounds like the laws are in place, but they're not being enforced.

Our government knows exactly what is going on and yet...<br /><br />They get dogs to tote around and have photo shoots with, with little regard to what is happening to their brothers and sisters. They ignore the issue. <br /><br />China found a way to capitalize off of us and I don't fault them for that. Hell, we didn't stop them. That is what is sickening. <br /><br />It is bad enough that we have essentially given them an out by not fixing our own mistake but now we ship chickens to them so that they can continue.
