what does that diet have to do with his ability to go with Pet Partners?

Cali went through her CGC in a harness and no one, even the evaluator, said anything a out it. One way around the AKC collar issues is to use a good fitting martingale - course I had to make my own because no one made one small enough. Several of the a therapy Dog training groups allow harnesses.
Pet Partners sites a study that suggests dogs on a raw diet have a higher incidence of salmonella in their stool than dogs on cooked foods. Raw advocates don't buy it and say the study was flawed, but PP refused to reconsider.

Too bad. Hopefully more research will change things in future. PP lost some great teams because of it.
