Did you know most pharmaceuticals, including veterinary medicines, contain ingredients from countries hostile to America? Protect your dog and yourself.

Downright deceitful, even those medicines "Made In America" may contain "Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs)" from countries less than friendly to the U.S.

One tiny bottle may contain a fatal knock-out-punch or a highly addictive substance which may take longer but will have the same result.

India is the world's most populous country, China is now second. Both countries eat dogs. If you are the proverbial optimist, you're thinking, that's sad but it doesn't relate to me... oh yeah? How do you know what the "filler"¯ is in that medicine capsule?

Americans have fallen prey to "population control"¯ so we are having fewer babies and are therefore reduced as a trading partner, i.e. we are of less economic value. That has consequences. Think about this... In the 1900s we learned about and sought "ACMs"¯ i.e. Ancient Chinese Medicines that worked... for a fraction of the cost of today's prescription medicines.

Today China and India make the majority of our pharmaceuticals, toys and textiles.

Right. Gotcha thinking. We buy $$$trillions of circuit boards, smartphones and computers from them. That economy keeps us safe, for now at least. But African nations like Nigeria and the DRC (Democratic Republic Of The Congo) are gaining in political savvy and according to United Nations data, they could present political problems.

We hear you thinking "What has that got to do with dogs?"¯

Not much... except they eat dogs in Africa, China, India, Nigeria, South Korea and Vietnam. Yeah, they "love dogs"¯ differently than Americans.

We at www.TheDogPress.com see that little-discussed truth as one of the significant ways in which we are different. When you think about it, that simple fact exemplifies a major difference between Americans and many other countries.

So, when you walk your Great Dane, take the bird from your Labrador's mouth or couch-cuddle your Chinese Crested, thank your breeder, your veterinarian, and most of all, the creator. There's a reason d-o-g spelled backwards is g-o-d.
