Recalled pet food

  • Thanks for the alert Fran. I've never even heard of those brands. Grocery store pet food is pretty bad stuff anyway.

  • It truly is. But some people have no other choice (finances?). I think most of us on this forum are quite picky about the foods we feed our animals, thank goodness.

  • I'm picky now about my dog foods because I can afford to be, but honestly when I was a kid we fed them strictly table scraps – my folks never EVER bought dog food; we'd scrape plates and pots into a pan and the dogs ate it, loved it, and lived long and healthy lives on it. I never even remember taking our dogs to the vet.
    When dh and I were starting out, we bought what many here call "crap", and our dogs always lived healthy long lives.
    I'm just sayin' . . . . .

  • Hmm… just the name of some of these brands... "Kroger Value Chunk Dog Food".... However the ingredients are not much different then many of the so called "popular" brands...

    While I understand "financial" concerns, better quality food equals usually feeding less so what you spend up front is a savings in the end....

    And I hear you JazzysMom... I think many of use from generations in the 50's or 60's did much the same..... but as with all things, as you learn new ways, you learn better ways.

  • @tanza:

    Not only that, but better health in the long run, so potentially less $$$ spent on vet bills.

    Just like with us humans, you have to think outside of the box when it comes to how much you spend on food. In the long run spending extra $ on higher quality food may mean savings over time with our health.

    I was sent a post yesterday that there are more recalls. For updated recall information go to the FDA website. Jennifer

    I once had a pup under treatment at the Bristol Veterinary hospital. When they finally sorted the problem I was told now you'll be able to give him real food meaning kibble!1 I always feed raw and whatever but never complete dog food. Having said that it seems that over here we get a new dog food manufactutrer every month and all claim that theirs is the best!!

    Lynn, Your b likes bread too? My boy is terrible around buttered toast! It is like a moth to a flame! But on a more serious note, I do agree that less grain in their diets is better. From all the stuff I've read about meat feeding (raw vs cooked and etc) on this forum, most of us are trying our best to move toward that. But keep looking up stuff on snopes cuz I use that site too!!:)

    Awesome thank you for the clarification. I was at work today and couldn't get the link to load. It doesn't really matter for myself as I feed the dogs a BARF diet, but it just made me wonder. As always this is one of the best things about these forums, I love being able to pick all of your brains. Thanx so much. :)
