Hey, when I post lately I am always in a hurry (lot going on) and ALWAYS plan to ping you and Milaukee Guy, but for some reason always get a message that can’t find that poster (because I can’t seem to spell your posting names right and am in a hurry).
I assume you’ll get pinged by other freepers, but wanted you to know I didn’t forget you.
Thank you for doing that—I wish there was something near me to participate in.
Guess, I knew that. I don’t envision Paul stirring the stuff up in the kitchen. LOL
Wasn’t the pork fed here in Oklahoma? I thought that’s what I had read somewhere. Hmmm, I’m wondering now about the bacon I was going to give the fur kids in lieu of other treats.
Aaaargh!
I have a suspicion that you confuse which side is going to be plaintiff and which defense in this matter.
LOL, I was FREAKING out when I first read cans and bisquits, thought the same thing.
Although I don’t use canned bisquits often (in fact, never now because I am not eating any bread).
It continues.
Thank you. We just swithed to BLUE lasssssst weekend. Fortunately it was the dry food.
I use Purina One for both dog and cat. So far, so good. Purina sent an email yesterday with the same info their website has - none of the ingredients that are suspect in any of their feed.
Dr. Michael Fox's Homemade 'Natural' Dietary Supplement for Dogs
name, company, contact address....the works.
You are correct. I check their site daily. I think I will sign up for email, tho. Thanks.
Yes the FDA alerts are a way to find out asap if you are eating, or feeding your pets, something dangerous.
One of the FR posters posted that info and I am thankful.
Obviously Blue Buffalo will be suing ANI, but normally when a company makes an extremely negative public statement like this about another company, the target of the statement will sue for libel, regardless of any suits that may be coming at it from the other side. It’s why you very rarely see anything like this in a public statement. It’s the same reason why employers won’t give negative references about former employees in writing (and often not orally either). Makes no difference how richly the ex-employee may deserve to be described as a lazy, no-good, dishonest, hothead — the employer still risks an expensive lawsuit for saying so, and is likely to end up settling out of court, rather than spend huge sums trying to prove the truth of every detail of what they said.
Oh, I think ANI stands a good chance of being the defendent, since at least one other company, Natural Balance, is claiming the same thing: the ingredient was added by ANI without their knowledge.
Of course, it does put the lie to these premium brands' claims that they keep strict control over their product, inspect it, etc. I doubt that most of them have done much more than market the stuff.
I suspect that if a consumer went to the expense of having some of these brands analyzed by a lab, they'd find the ingredients don't come close to matching the labels.
It was a pretty strong statement, wasn’t it.
Blue Buffalo has Big Balls!
Well crap. I give my dogs the Blue Buffalo treats all the time. Dammit.
I was quite a ways down that article before I realized it was pet food.
I have been trying to reach that consumer number. I get nothing, no answer, no recording. It just rings for a while then kicks to a fast busy signal.
I just cried on the phone last night to my husband that I think something is wrong with my female. She has been incontinent for a few days (she only has accidents when she is asleep, she is five and has never peed in the house since she has been housetrained) and vomiting. She has not been herself for a few days. I give them the Blue Buffalo treats all the time. I already have an appointment tomorrow, but just DAMN.
They still aren’t answering.
