Still kathy.....your find was wonderful and I am just one of many who is very grateful

Kathy - I was just trying to find business info about OMH and also ran across that goliath link.  What do you think their reference to Manufacturing Leather Goods means?  

I tried to find another business link, but haven't found one yet.  Hope that was a mistake in their writeup -  not sure if I want to buy pet food from a leather manufacturer either!

Petslave - it's OK if companies diversify - Clorox bought EverClean litter at least 8 yrs ago.  Still the only litter my cats really like, even though it's been reincarnated  several times.  But I do have a real problem with food - especially anything associated with Mars; a privately held company that doesn't report to anyone.  Solid Gold (uses Diamond for dry) and Weruva are the only commercial foods I feed and have any confidence in since last year.  Just an opinion based on way to much time on the net since 3/07 and losing a beloved Maltese to Nutro last year.

Thanks for listing this info here too, Kathy.  I was going to post a link but couldn'r remember what thread it was in. I think someone on the other thread asked this, but what does it mean that Wellness is now a "Realized" instead of Current Investment?

A little off-topic, but does anyone know who makes the Wellness dry foods?  I just realized today I don't know that one.

Interesting discussion here. 

Have also been following the ownership issue on "What's Killing Our Pets" after learning about Wellness' equity parter from a independent pet food company owner.
