****the article continues......
If you want your say on food-safety reform, Sen. Durbins office wants to hear from you.
Aren’t there any republicans that are on this?

Wow. We know a boy whose family dog had puppies that all died in February. They were eating this dog food. (the puppies were part pit bull, but that’s irrelevant.) TEN PUPPIES. I doubt the boy’s family will report it.

Really? Wow. The FDA is a mess. and filled with Democrats. I watched them celebrate when the Senate turned over to Democratic control.

Iams is also giving away 250,000 free bags of food on their website. I am SO glad this is the food we use for our cats and our dog.

This is an excellent dog food review site.

We use Purina Mills (PMI) Exclusive (NOT to be confused with supermarket Purina). It costs a bit more, but our dog is small and she poops less with it.

That is the sad part. This should not be a partisan issue.
Bunch of Chamber of Commerce Republicans IMHO.

I don’t know if the blog edit out the republicans who did support this or there just wasn’t any to be found.
I guess it doesn’t matter. The media is stacked against republicans.
To: MizSterious
Makes me (in paranoid mode) think that some company fears huge repercussions if the populace found out. Or maybe none of this stuff got in the human supply. (other than in the human population that consumes pet food, that is.)
To: Redbob
Read the labels. No corn (corn is especially bad for dogs).
The big time competitors that I know in the dog world use the ProPlan by Purina. There's a large breed puppy formula (you didn't say what kind of dog, but if it's a puppy and one of the large breeds, you definitely should feed that), a high-energy formula, and several others.
ProPlan was not implicated in the Menu Foods recall, although Alpo (another Purina brand) was.
If you want to go the high-end health food route, I feed my dogs Breeder's Choice AvoDerm. There's also a brand called Nature's Variety/Prairie, which operates on the concept of rotating dry kibble, frozen raw, and canned diets based on various meats (chicken, lamb, beef, venison). I am feeding my cat their cat food, and I'm thinking about rotating my dogs onto it.

The FDA keeps saying that they “don’t have the funds” to investigate. And lets be honest, there has been some political pressure on them to let foreign food products in.

Class action suit.
Go after the importers, the middlemen who sat on the news, and Cina too.
Make them pay till their profits for 200 years are used up.
Make an example of them now, of else we’ll be dealing with this once a month for ever.

The girl cat and the big gray boy cat. The boy had to have subcutaneous Ringer's lactate IV injections for two weeks to clean out his kidneys. He's doing much better now. I've never seen a cat that would eat anything like this guy. Takes a shower with my daughter and drinks water from a tap. He'll stand straight up on his haunches and stretch his paws skywards when he has to yawn. Look at the girl cat wrong, and she'll cut ya! Sleeps by my side every night. Otherwise stay out of her way!

“I dont know if the blog edit out the republicans who did support this or there just wasnt any to be found.”
I’ve been following this closely. There are no RepubliCorps to be found on this issue.
Strikes me as a “non-partisan no-brainer great for public relations issue” if you ask me.

Class action suit.All that would accomplish is making some lawyers rich. The pet owners would probably each be sent a check for $4.98 or something.

To: Milwaukee_Guy
Yeah, you are right. Sometimes I think the republicans are their own worst enemy. They should get out more and take up issues like this, if anything just to counter all the democrats.
Election 2008 is not going to be pretty.
To: Redbob
Nutro dry dog food has no gluten in it. I've fed my dog that brand for years. You can buy it at PetsMart. I also supplement the diet with home made dog food. There's lots of information on the web on how to make it and what to put in it to make for a balanced diet.
Good luck with the new dog.
