Probably when the Canadian government allows us to do so. :-)) It is kind of
ironic that Alberta had the first BSE cow in North America. Then the cow
that was positive in Washington state was also determined to come from
Canada. Yet the Canadian government banned beef from the US. I can't even
begin to guess when the Canadian government will change the rules in effect.
They banned chicken for a few weeks as well, then finally pulled back on
that. We altered all diets going into Canada and substituted pork for the
beef constituents in the diet for foods going into Canada. It was a massive
expense and massive disruption in the manufacturing process but they got it
done and pork based food was shipped up there about two weeks ago. Should be
on the shelves by this coming week.

Well to fair about the beef ban thing, the disease manifested itself
south of the border and so you cannot export your beef. It is a move
to protect beef industries everywhere. As a pet owner I also am
frustrated by the inconvenience.

I have never heard of pork based products before. Is there a reason
for that? What will it be called?

My guys like the adult beef, but do not like turkey or SD Original.
Well one of them that is, the other will come back and finish anything
:-)
