Hi fellow PTer's!! The news seems to just get worse on pet food. On the news tonight reports are saying the problem has narrowed down to melamine, a chemical used to make plastic. According to something I just read on the internet, cats are much more sensitive to this chemical than dogs and get sick or die more often from this.
What makes this whole thing so much worse is we love our pets and do all the right things to keep them happy and healthy. We make sure they get to the vet for regular check-ups as well as when they don't feel well. We feed them what we believe to be the best food which is often recommended by our trusted vets. In many instances we keep our kitties indoors to protect them from injury,accidents and the countless risks out there.
But now we're afraid to fill up their food dishes because we don't know for sure what's going in those dishes. A news report also said that healthy cats and dogs were getting sick and dying during taste testing done by Menu. Kind of makes one wonder what they knew and when they knew it!
At times like this I'm grateful for having PT and all the wonderful people who come here. Until this situation is over and completely resolved, the best we can do is keep each other updated on the latest developments.
Prayers are being prayed for every kitty to get food that is safe!
