The Straight Poop Best of the Best A Word from Frank: Three months ago I introduced my affiliation with HealthyPetNet. I explained then that in two years of writing The Straight Poop I've become somewhat of an expert on evaluating what is available in the marketplace to feed our best friends, and in my opinion, there is no better commercial pet food than HealtyPetNet. I feed it to Katie and I wanted to share it with you. Apparently I struck a responsive chord with many of you, because the responses, the requests for samples and the orders have overwhelmed me. I'm looking for some part-time help from someone who loves dogs as much as I do, who wants as many pets as possible to get the best nutrition possible, who likes people and will follow up on the responses we get here at The Straight Poop, and who would like to earn some money when people order the products.
