Kim,
Orijen will be the better choice since the pet food producers of Nature's Variety have such a long history of recalls.

Hi Susan,
I have been amazed reading what pet food manufacturing companies get away with putting in their pet foods. Makes me think they aren't at all concerned about ther overall health of the pets that are making them the profitts when their owners trust the pet food compnaies and purchase their foods. The all mighty dollar rules once again in the pet food industry. I thought after all the recalls and class actions that happened in 2007 the pet food industries had cleaned up their act. Thanks for teaching me I was wrong. Makes me want to start making my own pet foods.
I really do appreciate all your answers to my questions!
Kim
Kim,
I would have expected the pet food companies to do something great by now. I am so surprised no one has take the lead and made a great food. I can see why Purina has not done anything about their poor quality pet foods, for the same reasons the vets haven't stopped selling Science Diet, now that Purina has launched the pet insurance program. Purina wins all the way around and we lose.

Kim,
I'll get right on the dry cat food review for you. I thought we might be able to get the HiLife here in the states but I see that we can not as of yet. I'll keep watching for the product and let you know when it is available.
Oh, you won't believe what montmorillonite clay is. Ready?
Montmorillonite Clay – From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – It is used in the oil drilling industry as a component of drilling mud, making the mud slurry viscous which helps in keeping the drill bit cool and removing drilled solids. It is also used as a soil additive to hold soil water in drought prone soils, to the construction of earthen dams and levees and to prevent the leakage of fluids. It is also used as a component of foundry sand and as a desiccant to remove moisture from air and gases.
Similar to other clays, montmorillonite swells with the addition of water. However, some montmorillonites expand considerably more than other clays due to water penetrating the interlayer molecular spaces and concomitant adsorption. The amount of expansion is due largely to the type of exchangeable cation contained in the sample. The presence of sodium as the predominant exchangeable cation can result in the clay swelling to several times its original volume. Hence, sodium montmorillonite has come to be used as the major constituent in non-explosive agents for splitting rock in natural stone quarries in order to limit the amount of waste, or for the demolition of concrete structures where the use of explosive charges is unacceptable. This swelling property makes montmorillonite-containing bentonite useful also as an annular seal or plug for water wells and as a protective liner for landfills.
