Glad you didn't do it!

Apparently the carrageenan is a big cause of digestive issues, & this article states it might be causal or a contributor to cancer:

On the up side, look what Chewy has for only $18! I'm going to try them for dry kibble.

Dunno if my girl is willing to work for her food, or whether there will be a lot of cabinet door banging, scathing looks, & clawing walls.

She might use them, maybe even enjoy "the hunt," since the only time she is active is when she wants food.

I'll report back how she does with them.
