A feast fit for Fido

REGARDING the issue of flatulence in dogs (Oh, the agony! January 19), think about the additives, grains, beans and vegetables in canned and dried food. Look inside a dog’s mouth and you will see not one molar designed to chew such ingredients. We should feed simple formulas with minimal or no grain or, better still, give pets organ meats and other cuts. Cook for them! It takes so little time and you can add scraps from your own meals, just as every dog owner once did. Francesca Kelly, Massachusetts, US
