I hadn't realized the article was five months old and when I re-read it, there doesn't seem to be much "there" there. As it says, it is a given that when pets are ill, the owners will first suspect the food. Our dogs and cat have exhibited no digestive issues in the couple of years they've been on BB, none. I asked the new vet about BB last year when we first started going to him and he told us he has no qualms about it. I think Darcy's occasional aversion to kibble may be a tooth problem, but I brush her teeth daily and can't find a sensitive one. From what I understand, the vet would have to put her out to do a thorough dental exam. I will check a little further and see if I can find anything wrong with her teeth or in her mouth. Maybe one of her "catches" bit her back? :E
