Pet Food Recall Overview
On March 16, 2007, Menu Foods announced a nationwide recall
of more than 40 popular brands of pet food. The contaminated
products "including well-known brands like Iams, Eukanuba,
Purina and Science Diet" were causing severe, and often fatal,
kidney problems in dogs and cats. Nearly180 brands of wet and
dry food were eventually added to the recall list, provoking a
tense period of uncertainty for pets, pet parents and animal
welfare professionals.What's Really in Dog Food? (Read

Excerpt:
Once I picked up two cans of dog food from
different lots and I noticed a markedly difference in
weight! What had they done to make it lighter. I
opened up the can and it was full all the way to the top but I
really began to wonder what exactly were they putting in that
food? Did they mix it with air to make it fill the can
and if they did that how did they keep the food from settling
to the bottom of the can. It was very disturbing and
decided you can't trust what's in dog food from batch to
batch.
I was talking to a dog
dental hygienist and she told me that students at veterinary
colleges are approached by major dog food company dog food
company. They throw parties for them, help them with
their costs for going to school and these new vets then sell
major dog food company dog food in their practices at a 50%
markup. What a deal they are getting. major dog
food company prescription dog food can only be obtained from a
vet with a prescription. It is overpriced and if major
dog food company is making a profit we know that the vet is
making a profit so just what kind of food is in these cans
that allows the company to sell it so cheaply to vets?
Not much good food I'm thinking. (Excerpt - Read

One vet told
the dental hygienist that certain dog food manufactuters were
great for throwing parties but he wouldn't feed their food to
his dog.
