Michele - I'm happy to hear Lacy is feeling better. You've brought up several items that we've been concerned about as well.

Petzlife... I started using it a couple of years ago but found that the kids really didn't like it. It smelled so strong. I stopped using it but saw that there was an increase in tarter on their teeth. I did start using again but I diluted it. I only use it once a week - at bath time and I try to brush with a toothpaste a couple of times a week.

Raw diet... I know that some people are totally into this and I don't discourage anyone from doing it. We did try it on Mia when she was under a year old because we had such a hard time trying to get her to eat anything. Maybe we have OCD but just the fact that it was raw and the bacteria that could develop - scared us.

Mia had problems when we first got her and we have had to try many different foods to find one that would keep her stools firm and one that she would eat. I'm not crazy about the Science Diet that she's on - but it is doing the job.

Maybe we should post a poll on the Petzlife. I'm really curious about that now.
