Pet Food Recall Information

    Not to be the one always talking about toxins and dog food or anything but this link below takes you to a site with a listing of all the pet foods involved in the Mars Pet Food recall. Apparently, a PN plant somehow had gotten a rare strain of Samonella in the dry dog/cat food and humans were getting sick from it. The CDC reported that 79 people had been affected.

    This doesn't effect me because Beegin's food isn't on this list, but in case it may effect others, I just wanted to let people know.

    @eeeefarm: Until fairly recently, dogs managed just fine on table scraps. (still do in many places). Commercial dog food began as a way to salvage some use out of what humans don't consider fit for the table. Put a fancy label on it, and sell it to people who had essentially been feeding the dog the same thing for free. Now the pet food companies have convinced people that you have to balance everything "just so" or it is detrimental to your dog's health. Funny how they survived for so long without such assistance! And the claim that dogs now live longer just doesn't wash. More and more ailments are showing up that used to be unheard of, and I certainly knew dogs when I was growing up that lived well into their teens on table scraps. well said-processed foods do us all harm in time…..

    Visits are a great idea. In the past year I have been staying at my familys farm wich has plenty of room but I added another dog and my Mother got another dog for a total of 4. Not bad since two are tiny ones, lol. But it took a bit to learn to b a good pack. I am not sure how cats mix with the dogs but I'm sure visits won't hurt any. Good Luck :)

    It was traumatic, but something I can look back on & laugh at. I guess those $.10 crickets looked like poo on a plate compared to a young, tender $45 morsel.

    JYS, They only get wet food occasionally. I want to try to add the canned pumpkin to their diet but I keep forgetting to pick it up when I am at the grocery store! :rolleyes:
