Manufactured Dog Food – what is bad for your dog?
This is an article from the Whole Dog Journal on the subject of harmful dog feed.
You want the best for your dog – especially when it comes to his food. You read labels and try to choose the brand and formula that will nourish your furry friend.
That’s why you’ll be as shocked to discover that dozens of today’s top-selling brands – names you thought you could trust, like Beneful, Pedigree, Purina and more – may not contain the wholesome, healthy ingredients you want for your dog.
Take Beneful. The package makes it look like manna from heaven with a healthy pup, fresh veggies, and what look like real chunks of meat. Unfortunately, the pictures make the food seem better than it is. The reality is this stuff is AWFUL for your dog. It’s full of sugar, artificial colors, and 3 unnamed animal sources. And very little vegetables.

A home for Conguita
She was not yet two months old when she was found together with her mum abandoned on a field. We do not know what happened to her siblings but it is certain that Conguita is a survivor.
Now her mum is adopted and Conguita is left alone. She needs urgently a family now, a shelter is not the best place for a puppy to grow up. The small girl is most affectionate and longing for a home.
If you wish to adopt Conguita: www.fundacionbm.com/adopta/

Experiments on dogs in Australia – it must stop!
We all know about the beagles used for laboratory experiments.There was also furore some years ago about galgos taken for embalming for a university medical school. Now here’s another exposure of greyhounds and galgos being used in Australia for experiments. I know…another petition to sign and do we know if it will be delivered? Well, if we don’t sign it, nothing will happen. If we do, it could be like one Galgos Ethique Europe collected, over 30,000 signatures handed into a Spanish embassy.
According to the latest available statistics, over 6,600 dogs were used for research and teaching purposes in Australia in just one year, mainly beagles and greyhounds.
