You will more than likey find a lot of this is not by accident or carelessness.......there is more to what’s going on that people know.........off the scale.

A little bird told me that all this started to happen when a certain feed maker got fascinated with Asia, both sourcing and selling wise. As a result, raw ingredients which had long come from civilized countries started to, instead, come from the PRC, among other scary places.

I use Blue brand. It’s pricey but it has a fantastic ingredients list. Luckily I have a small foofoo dog who only eats about 2/3 cup of food a day. So it’s affordable for me. We get the lamb and brown rice recipe. I highly recommend it.

Well, I'm getting tired of waking up every morning to the sound of my cat chewing bird and mouse bones under my bed!

Perhaps that's some sort of comment on what I've feeding her lately!

My pups are getting rice (US GROWN) mixed with cottage cheese, veggies, eggs and chicken or ground beef-plus scraps

My kids are dining at McDonalds tonight!

The current pet food situation is frightening, but there are some safe pet foods out there. I found out the big name “premium” foods like Iams and Eukanuba were no longer trustworthy, when the big corporations like Proctor and Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive bought out these premium brands and changed the formulas. I would NOT TRUST any of the big commercial pet foods anymore, including Purina. Once you learn about what SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be in your pets food, you wouldn’t feed them that stuff with corn and other ingredients they can’t even digest. I found a food I really trust, formulated by a holsitic veterinarian (who ironically worked for Iams and Eukanuba to formulate the ORIGINAL formula.) If you want to watch a very interesting video about pet food and learn what to look for in a pet food, take a look at my website, familypetfood.com. In any case, feed your pet holistic food you have read ingredients throughly on (and know what you are looking for!) or make it yourself if you can be sure you are adding all the nutrients your pet needs, but stay AWAY from supermarket pet food!
