Ya have to wonder if this is an accident or not, or is China showing their contempt for us. Daring us to respond. What kind of idiots do we have in our Gubmint? (A rhetorical question)

My thinks wife thinks it's more of a test run for ..... uuuuh ....... other things.

You're added.. AuntB, please try homecooking for your dog... that is the only way to be really safe and it's not all that difficult once you get in the swing of things. I know a lady who runs the Cushings/Immune Disease list has 11 dogs and she and her husband home cook for all 11 dogs ~LOL~ now THAT is dedication.

Are you seeing signs of kidney failure? If so, you may need to do a kidney diet and do some sub-q's..

The total on petconnection (reported by pet owners of dead dogs) was up to 4427. One vet alone in our town has lost over 20 dogs.

Don W is not pulling numbers out of thin air; victims have been reporting their pets deaths on pet connection since this mess began. What I don’t understand is why you are on these threads since all you seem to be doing is diseing everyone who posts on them. Do you have a dog or cat? what are you feeding?

Those 14 are deaths of dogs at Menu Foods that were victims of the feeding tests that proved they had a problem. If you took the time to go to pet connection and READ the posts there you would see this isn’t some benign issue.

You’re hysterical and putting words in my mouth. Go back and read my original posts and then disappear.

I question the “reporting” of 4000 + deaths when NONE of you can prove it. All you can do is attack me.

All you people can do is come up with is anecdotal evidence. Where's the HARD evidence?

How many times do we have to send you to pet connection — the site is the site that is collecting numbers from actual people who lost actual pets, the number is updated daily. Person after person has said the same thing— the FDA is not picking up. If you choose not to believe it, I don’t know what more anyone else can tell you and maybe you should disappear.

That’s what really ticks me off. I’ve been cooking about half their food. Maybe it’s my cooking!!

I’ve been feeding my dogs a combination of cooked food and products from Pedigree, which hasn’t had any recall. I no longer buy any food that are cuts with gravy, either.
