		<description>Hi Kev,

Glad you found the expiration date before you bought them.  I have worked for that company for MANY years.  It started as a great and caring company for both pets and employees.  It has evolved, so sadly, into a corporate run machine where the bottom line is profit.  There are a few great employees that still care and have the knowledge to help pets and their parents, but they are being challenged to get the physical work done and less customer care, real customer care.  To keep the profit margin higher the company hires less qualified employees and those that have been there for the long haul (unfortunately make a few cents more) become a liability.  They can hire two underqualified new employees for the one seasoned and well qualified employee.  So sad that dedication, loyalty and pride that I had freely given to this company has, after all these years, comes down to the bottom line, the almighty dollar.  I work there and when I shop for my pets, even I check the expiration dates.  Keep your eyes open.

Take care of you and your pets.
Sincerely,
Kes</description>
