Memories of dogs before vets and the petfood industry became the norm

yea, I think that is so true!

 

Now that's what I'm talkin about.

There is more truth on that page than I have read all year about dogs and processed dog foods from so many so called "Pet Food Industry" sites.

I am only in my 40's but....
Remembering back to my childhood all my dogs chased me on my bike down the street and over to my buddies house where my dog and his dog would get together and play as we hiked through the hills or went down to the lake to fish or swim. Almost never had a dog fight and there was one Vet in the whole valley at the time.
Our dogs lived to be 16 to 18 years old with one time Vaccinations and then it bacame manditory to vacc rabies every few years. Everyone knew whose dog that was and would call the Vet Dr. Stevans to find out where to call or drop off a found dog.

Parvo was unheard of, kennal cough went away by it's self. No fleas here and ticks we just pulled out ourselves.
Sturdy was the dry food of choice and the rest was table scrap, raw chicken and rice with some partially cooked hamburger in it.

 

great insight

 

Killing our pets with kindness.

It's a" millions of dollars industry", now.

 

Isn't it sad? I hate to think what the world will be like when my kids are grown up.
