Quotes

The unfortunate truth is that pet food is not as scientifically formulated as most would like to think. For the most part, Fido’s food is made with convenience and cost of manufacturing in mind more than science. Yes, the first few ingredients look appetizing enough and there are essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals added to the mix. But are these ingredients natural for the pet and are they readily available for absorption and use by their body? Here in lies the crux of the matter. ~ Dr. John Symes

Like an ox cart driver in monsoon season or the skipper of a grounded ship, one must sometimes go forward by going back. ~ John Barth

Psalm 18:28
