Susan G?
Hmmm. Well, I've been called a turkey, a
chicken, a pigeon, a chick sometime in the seventies when I was still wearing
bikinis and a mother duck.....or, something close to that. <g>
A rare bird, nah. Ray Geor (*pronounced* Gore)has the New Zealand
version of a DVM, a PhD, is board certified in internal medicine and is
brilliant to boot. They don't get any better. I'm just a master's in
nutrition and a DVM. I'm about two year's education shy of having a
PhD.
Thanks for mentioning me in the same paragraph as
Ray, though. :-)))

I would never in a thousand years claim I had been
"consulted" regarding any new feeds, but have had conversations with Ray
and Scott King (also a DVM who heads the new product division) about
feeding endurance horses and what some of the issues are. Just shop talk
when our paths happen to cross. I'd feel pretty comfortable thinking
Purina has kept their ear to the ground when developing new endurance
feeds.
