I really enjoy your magazine monthly bases - Letter to the Editor

Better Nutrition, Oct, 2003 by Julia Norton

I really enjoy your magazine on a monthly basis. I get it from Sunshine Market, my favorite health food store in Salida, Colorado.

I loved your recent "Vexing Vaccinations" article (May 2003, p 66). Being a board member of our local animal shelter, I know that much of the money we spend on vet services goes to vaccinations.

Some of us believe that more research needs to be performed to see if vaccinations--especially rabies--need to be given as frequently as they normally are. Thank you for the information in your article.

This article and some I have found in other magazines are good material that I like to share with my colleagues at the shelter. I hope you have more stories and articles on animals of all kinds in the future. Better nutrition is as crucial for animals as it is for people.

Thank you for such a great and educational magazine!

Thanks for your feedback. Judging from other feedback we've received since Ann Martin's semi-regular PetCare column debuted, it seems that many of our readers are as interested in their animal companions' health as they are their own. So you'll be happy to know that we will continue to run PetCare in 2004. In the meantime, we hope you find the information in Martin's current column ("Researching Pet Food," p. 64) useful as she details some shocking facts about mainstream pet food manufacturing and provides a list of animal-friendly companies you can count on.
