Pet Owners: Check the food

There will be a fine but I think only damage to property. I belive in the eyes of justice pets are just property. Good thing my dog diddin't get sick

 

Who are you referring to?my post was on topic..the person is suing this dog food company for $35million and the company is not too far away from my house...

You posted just before I did... it was concering the previous posts - Marlene

 

aw

Well I found out a friend of mine's dog just got diagnosed with a week to live.

Kidneys are failing because of the food

That is so messed up. The company should be sued for alot.

Apparently they dont think it is worth that much money because they are "just pets" not humans.

But alot of animal livers do think of their pets as equals.

 

Thanks for the heads up. My dog says thanks too.

Mr MegaCorp's gonna pay if my pooch gets sick

 

It was rat poison causing the bad food

Omg Thankx punkeydew For The HeadsUp! My Puppy Dosent Eat Wet Food Only Dry, But Just In Case So I Know!

 

We checked out the list for my cat and he doesn't eat anything on the list. Thank god, I don't know what I would do if that little guy got sick...

 

I know I just read that ladt night

And what is wierd is that That substance is outlawed in the US.

So... It was not being used as rat poison. How did it get into the fields of wheat...

 

Good question, although it's not very hard for a trace of one chemical to get into something and then have it multiply.

I feel bad for all the pet owners that either lost pets or had them get sick.

 

The company shoud definatly get sued, they need to be taught to be more responsible when they are responsible for lives.

 

Wasn't it more than one company though??

 

It was 95 different brands. But they are all under the same parent company

 

heard on the news this morning that the company offered to pay for everybodys vet bills and that it was some contaminated wheat or something that had rat posion in it that was hurtin the animals

 

oh

wow~ i didnt know ill recheck the food :S

 

That's why I own birds, dogs and cats are too much of a hassle lol.

 

Well this thread turned out to spew some awareness I'm about to become a first time dog owner and I made a point to decide on dry food instead of wet food thanks to this topic.

 

Also

Not only is dry food safer with these kind of concerns but it also does wonders for their teeth and in the long run will cut down on dental bills for your animals.

When choosing a food look at the ingredients. If there are things you havnt heard of, dont choose it. If there is a long list don't choose it.

You are looking for more naturally derived ingrediants. Nutro is a good brand. A little more expensive but worth it. They offer a huge line of products to suit any dog/cat

Also.. I am in school to be a vet tech. lol I'm not just mindlessly rambling. lol

Lol my bird IS a hassle. She's the most spolied, attention seeker I have ever seen. She has a heated perch and a shower perch and a 200 dollar cage. Lol. She shrieks when I walk by and dont say hi. lol But I guess that is because I allowed her to be spoiled

 

thanks for the highlight, i love my pup so much and dont want to be unknowingly poisoning it with bad food.

 

update:

One dry food has been added to the list

Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry cat food

 

My mother advised me yesterday that there investigating dry foods now also. Seems there's still a prob. Looks like people will have to feed food scraps till this is all over with
