The gravy has thickened on the pet food recall
By Shadrach on Apr 7, 2007 in Natural Feeding
I’m just laying down out here pawndering all this pet food recall stuff. I’m rrreally glad I don’t eat any of that poop and that my humans feed me REAL dog food: raw meaty bones, WOOF! Anyway I do want to help other dogs and, sigh, yes cats, to not keep getting sick and dying so I’m going to share all the updates and news so their humans can be informed to make decisions as regards all this food stuff. I’m normally excited to talk about food but this just has me nauseous, WOOF! My mom has been teaching on all the reasons why not to feed kibble and canned food and it was because they’re not good for us carnivorous animals. Now you have a major pet food recall that says what the ingredients are and what they allow for us. So now, the decision to stop the demand is in the hands of you pet owners by NOT feeding it to us! Here you go:
From our friend Dr. Gardner:
This is a very useful list from various manufacturers about the source of their ingredients and manufacturing. Its still evolving so please if you forward this email forward the link not the current information from the page as it is being updated frequently. I think it is very helpful and interesting. http://www.thepetfoodlist.com/
For a general overview of pet foods including home-made diets go to www.petsynergy.com/overview.html this is an article I wrote for a class that I taught, and may have some helpful information. Remember for home-made diets its important to balance the ingredients and supplements.
