Metal? Bloody hell! Quick! Point a magnet at your dog and see if it slides across the floor towards you! :-0
My neighbours dog slid across the floor once towards me but that was because she needed worming….
I buy Bench & Field for my cats. It’s made in Indiana, all the ingredients are, apparently, locally sourced, and when I order online the shipment arrives within two days. It also helps that my vet, a cat specialist, approves.
