I am a pet lover who won't have any more pets. You might want to check out Echinococcus Granulosis (a dog Tapeworm and read up on hydatid disease before opening your kennel. Long story but my internal parasites ranged in size from one inch to eighteen inches long and they almost killed me. I had to use veterinary antihelmintics to save my life. I hope to write a book and I have photographs to prove what I say. No sushi for me, never ate it anyway but not pets either, anymore. Sorry for negative post but it is the truth. suzy
