Meanwhile SC doesn’t have a single blue dot in sight 🫣

We are thrilled to announce our new search engine that allows the public, advocates, and policymakers to instantly do their research into licensed dog breeders across the country! The online search tool is a companion to our database where we are currently tracking 4,445 licensed dog and cat breeders, as well as thousands of unlicensed facilities and canceled licenses.

You can view our search engine and methodology here:
https://bailingoutbenji.com/search-engine/

Why is this important? Because our unique research shows that:

[41%] of the licensed breeders we are tracking have state or federal violations in the last 5 years.

[36%] of the licensed breeders who supplied pet stores in the last three years had state or federal violations.

[42%] of the licensed breeders we have found to be supplying online brokering websites had state or federal violations.

It is often easier for the public to find a puppy mill or inhumane breeder than a responsible one! While inspection records only show one part of an operation, until now it was nearly impossible for anyone to access state records or even know how to access the USDA. We want our search engine to be one tool in the toolbox in the fight to end puppy mills by helping consumers make responsible purchases.

Please support our work today, so we can continue doing the research that matters! The dogs can't thank you, but we can 💙

Name the breed people tell you their mutt is primarily mixed with (or the breed they claim their purebred dog is) that you know is extremely unlikely to be correct if not impossible… include a pic for context!

I’ll start: Dalmation mix

🚨 HALL OF SHAME 🚨 - We do NOT recommend Ol' Roy dog food. Why? Two reasons... 👇

1. Corn 🌽

A considerable proportion of the protein in this recipe is provided by corn-based ingredients. Although corn is not the villain it’s sometimes made out to be, it is not, what we call, a "complete" protein source. This means it doesn’t deliver all amino acids required by dogs to sustain life. While it can have its place in a dog food, over-reliance on corn-based ingredients is not a positive thing for your dog's health. Our experts feel that the protein quality of this food is not ideal to support a dog’s nutritional requirements.

2. Unnamed animal ingredients 🥩❓

This dog food uses anonymous ingredients, such as "meat and bone meal" and "animal fat." Ingredients like these, that don’t name their meat source, tend to be made up of slaughterhouse waste - which is what’s left after the prime cuts of meat have been removed. For this reason, these ingredients tend to be lower quality than their named counterparts - such as "beef meal" and "chicken fat" - and are often artificially preserved. Our experts don't think they're as good for your dog as their named alternatives.

Not using named meats also makes it difficult for you, as a pet parent, to identify food sensitivities in your dog, as these anonymous ingredients can come from any animal. 🔎

For these two reasons, Ol’ Roy Dog Food receives our lowest rating of 1⭐ - not recommended. 👎

Have you had any experience feeding Ol' Roy? How do you feel about it? Let us know! 💬

It's not just males, in case anyone needed to know that about this problem. Highly positive Kionna was the Kershaw Correctional officer who was incarcerated last year for having an inappropriate personal relationship with an inmate.
