Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (08-01-2021) #738: Featuring Ryan Yamka, Risa Simon, and Sharon Morris. Veterinary nutrition consultant Dr. Ryan Yamka explains why the presumably high mercury levels in pet foods (discussed last week with a researcher) are actually not a reliable measure, and he also explains why DNA testing of food is untrustworthy, as in the Subway tuna sandwich question of whether it is actually tuna; Risa Simon talks about her work in the Defense department of the U.S. Navy, along with her own senior dog and cat sanctuary Leashes End and the perpetual care agreement they have created for themselves and other old dog rescues; pet finder Sharon Morris, who can be found on the Missing Animal Response Network and specializes in cat and birds per an article in the Guardian, gives suggestions on how to find your lost kitty. (Hint: he has not gone very far from home!)
