Hi Patricia,

Personally, I think there is very little that pet owners can do to keep manufacturers honest. I think until regulatory starts holding them accountable and heavily fines the “bad actors” it will continue.

IMO there is so very little oversight that manufactures know there is little chance they will suffer financial harm so “bad actors” will continue to put products into the market that are not as claimed.

Personally, I think that most people doing their own research do not have the background to interpret the information and often fall into rabbit holes of misinformation and I think that the overall results of consumers calling manufactures out is that the “bad actors” learn how to better deceive consumers.

I guess I’m in a cynical mood after wading through ~ 250 pages of a FOIA request from over 4 years ago. : )

If ever I can be of assistance in ferreting out information for you, I’ll be happy to do so. I understand the time it takes to care for a loved one with dementia. Happy Holidays to you too!
