I wish you would make a pledge to Susan Thixton’s Petsumer Report to disclose all your ingredients and their origin.
Thanks, Virginia-
I share your sentiment and would like to see all the food manufacturers we carry sign on to the program. Unfortunately, as a retailer, we have no say in what the manufacturers do other than vet them on our own.
