Thank you so much for sharing. Your love is apparent!

Our condolences. How horrible.

Hi, I'm in NW Illinois, and can grey-sit. I have 6 dogs of my own, a 6-pack and fold down-crates if necessary. I have a fenced dog-yard, which is surrounded by 2-1/2 fenced acres. I also have a run with 6 foot fencing and a dog door. Lots of foster/dog-sitting experience, and medical care experience, too.

Just my 2 cents. . . Be aware that several foods have changed their formulations since this grading system first appeared. For example, Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice (which USED to be Nutro Natural Choice Lamb MEAL and Rice) made significant changes to its formulation when it was bought out by Mars Pet Foods last year. The new formulation will not score nearly as high as the old formulation, for example. I personally look for a dog food that is made in a company-owned plant, rather than by a large co-packer that makes lots of different foods. That's the situation that caused so much cross-contamination of foods last year at the Menu Foods plant. I would give points for a food being made at a company-owned plant, and subtract points if made by a large co-packer. Make sense?

Prayers for your girl! Please eat! Waiting to hear what the vet says and sending white light! Mary
