feedDry Pet Food Yanked
A major recall of pet food in North America has expanded to two more companies and now includes dry food for the first time, U.S. federal health authorities and the companies said.Dry pet food implicated in North American recall. My suggestions are: 1. If you feed your pet and he or she gets sick, tell someone about the food you fed 'em. Tell the company that made it. Tell your vet. Tell the media. Tell me. Whatever. Talk about it. 2. Don't feed your pet junk food. Just about anything you buy at Wal-Mart or a supermarket or even most of the stuff at the major pet stores is junk... mostly filler that your dog doesn't even process. Why do they put corn in your dog food, for instance? Because it's cheap and it fills up the bag. If there's corn in your pet's food, don't buy it. Heck, even you don't process corn very well. You can switch to a raw foods diet, or get a real super premium brand, like Eagle Pack or Canidae (my dogs won't eat Canidae, but they love Eagle Pack... your experience may vary). 3. Don't panic. Use your noggin'. See if your dog will eat a carrot. Mine will. Apples, too. Give the cat a bit of tuna (but not a bath), and enjoy the love you get in return. And write to your pet food manufacturer. Ask them whey every damn food on the shelf apparently has chaff from China in it. Ask them why there is corn in your pet's food. Ask them how they intend to avoid this in the future. Declare war on the evil pet food empire. 4. Declaring war on anybody is a lot of work. Have some ice cream. Take the dog for a walk. Brush the cat. Let the cat out. Let her back in again. Throw a tennis ball. More ice cream. 5. Repeat until the problem desists. And bless you. It's too late for me to write more. And I'm getting very sleepy. Too much ice cream. check out the Pet Food Recall swicki at eurekster.com
