Yes, Daysha. As you can probably imagine, I too am moving away to Solutions food (fermented), Small Batch poultry (the chicken, turkey and duck is HPP'd), etc.

Hi Kai! I'm sorry for the slow reply. Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that Remy was diagnosed with arthritis at such a young age! It sounds like you're already doing everything right. There are absolutely other great things to do for him to have the best life possible. Many of them are discussed...
