Pet Food Recall - toxic fertilizer

[Flatcoatluver]

Thank God, we never fed our dogs this. Unless Kirkland and Chicken Soup is on the list. But I know a lot of dogs who are fed Iams and Etc.

I was talking to a friend on msn & she showed me this brand (MERRICK), as I was kinda upset cause I didn't know WHAT to feed Bear.

I made an email for my dad, so I'm just going to copy paste the email as I don't have time to retype it, as I'm at work & rushing work, as I'm suppose to be getting training on my new work (they took a LOOOONG lunch, they were due back over an hour ago lol)

About the company... read the whole thing!

This is what I want to put Bear on (Senior), as her joints are at a very high risk, due to her being so over weight.

This is what sold me on this dog food.
"We use human grade ingredients along with fresh fruits, vegetables and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives." <- a Human is safe to eat it, yumm hehehe !!!
You cannot get better then that!! I learned that pretty much all dog foods are NOT human grade, including Nutro, & thats how all this poison (there is more then just rat poison they are finding now, & Pig Ears are now on recall too... + Dry food is added to the recall).

To Chad & I its not worth the risk. We are happy to spend 70.00 a bag for Bear, as she deserves to be healthy, not poisoned to death! Whats the point of having a dog, if your just going to poison it? We're already spending money to keep her Thyroid healthy & functioning correctly, so its kind of silly to poison a dog with food, that your already working hard on keeping alive & healthy.

As you know, the better the quality the food is, the less the dog needs to eat (the bag lasts longer)... the smaller the poos are & less times the dog needs to go out to poop.

They do make a wet food, so if your interested in putting Buttons on that, he wont know the difference from people food, because it IS people food, but its a balanced diet a dog needs. Wouldn't hurt to give 1 can a try...

In a news conference, FDA officials said that the apparently melamine-contaminated wheat gluten also was shipped to a company that manufactures dry pet food, but they would not name the company. The FDA is attempting to determine if that company used any of the wheat gluten, imported from China, to make dry pet food, Sundlof said.

Let's not panic just yet about dry food.
