[QUOTE="J Hoy, post: 1700450, member: 16398"] I have been told by my veterinarian friends that quite a few puppies and kittens are now born with an underbite. That is puppies that shouldn't have an underbite because of their breed. Of course those that were caused to have an underbite, like bull dogs, by breeding for an underbite have underbite, but collies and most other herding dogs were not supposed to have an underbite. As far as I know, cats were never deliberately bred to have an underbite, at least not any that I ever saw. Back to the dogs around here at least, larger breeds used to live to be around 15 or more years old, usually more. Now they die or are euthanized by or before 13 years old, some as young as 8, usually because of cancer. Dogs may be living longer in other areas as someone said. Levels of glyphosate in dog and cat food, tested using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) ranged from 0.022 to 0.30 mg/kg. That is quite a bit higher than what is suggested for human consumption. For children, 160 ppb is the highest level considered safe by the EPA and 0.30 mg/kg is much higher than what is considered safe for children, if my math is correct. I don't guarantee my math - LOL. With regard to when dogs with underbite die, I have no idea, since I studied grazing animals and rodents, not dogs. [/QUOTE]
