Frequently Asked Questions from the K9Nutrition List

UPDATE: I moderated the K9Nutrition email list for four years (I no longer participate on that list). Archives were available on Onibasu but were removed in April 2011. My own posts remain available, but many of the links below no longer work, nor can you search or see other replies. I am in the process of working with Onibasu to move my posts and a few others from people who agree to a separate section of Onibasu that will again be searchable.

Following are links to posts with answers to frequently asked questions. Many are written by me; some are written by others I consider knowledgeable. A few links are also provided to articles on other web sites.
