One More Pet Food Recall

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

I keep thinking that everybody who even thinks that they might have a problem will have quit stone-walling by now and recalled their food.  Yet, today we have another report from Natural Balance.  Of course, it’s possible that their food problems have nothing to do with the previous reports.  Maybe they’re the victim of mass hysteria.  Maybe it’s a hoax perpetrated in hopes of a lucrative lawsuit, like the gal who put the finger in her chili at Wendy’s (what a sick-o).  I don’t know, and probably neither does anybody else.  The summary is on the KVC webpage.

Poison in the Food.

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Christie Keith and Gina Spadafori have been working tirelessly to get the news out to everyone regarding the pet food recall since the news broke. They have lost sleep and time. While those in power attempt to shift our attention to possibilities of human food contamination and whatever else they think they can wave in front of us like a hotdog in front of a golden retriever they have kept us on track.

There are VOLUMES of information over there and they deserve your time and voice. Go give them some love. :-)

There’s little difference between e.coli in the spinach and someone PURPOSELY and without any regard to our pets safely putting POISON in our pets food. POISON. Actual, unadulterated POISON.

As Christie quotes daily from the FDA’s own website :
The Food Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (U.S.C. Title 21, Chapter 9): “The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.”

Clearly the FDA is NOT doing their job.

Someone ALWAYS knows when their product is questionable. The spinach producers KNEW what they were doing. The meat processing plant KNEW what they were doing when they killed people with their tainted ground beef in the ’90s. Someone KNEW that the apple juice was NOT safe. SOMEONE ALWAYS KNEW. Someone KNEW. But they put it out there for us AND OUR PETS to consume ANYWAY.

From the Dolittler’s Blog
“Who sold this “surplus” food to pigs meant for human consumption? Was it appropriately labeled, “pet food recall last call”? Who bought it? Does anyone even know the withdrawal time for melamine in pigs? Its effect on pig physiology? Or did they swallow the “16-death” pet food company party-line and consider any potential porcine casualties acceptable losses?”

From ConsumerAffairs.com
“Elder said pigs that ate this contaminated feed will not be allowed to enter the human food supply.

He emphasized, however, that “based on information currently available, the FDA and the USDA believe the likelihood of illness after eating such pork is extremely low. However, the agencies also believe it is prudent to take this measure.”

The pork from these animals will also be destroyed, officials said. And the USDA will compensate hog farmers affected by the tainted pet food. Owners of pets killed by the tainted pet food, on the other hand, get nothing.”

Do we believe them when they say it won’t enter the food supply? I DON’T. How is it that their way of getting rid of the tainted food garnered the seller and hog farmer income? Did it at least recoup their losses? I’m sure it does.

also from ConsumerAffairs.com
““What this appears to be is a case of deliberate contamination of wheat gluten in order to pass off substandard product,” Henderson told a U.S. House committee. “For a seller who knows how industry testing methods work, this would allow them to cheat the buyers.””

As if they’re the only ones who have ever done something underhanded and evil. They just happened to get caught.

More Pet Food Recall Info…

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

On a much smaller scale, thankfully.  Two of the four new ones are in Canada and South Africa.  One is an expansion of the original Menu Foods list.   Only one seems to be a new player, and I must admit I’d never heard of them before: Blue Buffalo.  As usual, I’ve added the new links to the old KVC webpages.

I’d hoped to write about my trip tonight, but that may have to wait a day or so.  I’ve shoveled my desk down some, but still lots of backlog to take care of.  Stay tuned.

Book for Senior Dogs and Cats

Would you believe it?!  A pet related book featured on Amazon’s home page.  Well, by the time you read this it might not still be there.  Anyway, here are two books that should provide some great info if you are looking to take better care of your older dog or cat.

FDA Approves the First Drug for Obese Dogs

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Well, I hadn’t heard of this until now.  Earlier this year the FDA approved the first drug for obese dogs.  We knew it was only a matter of time.  I was wondering if anyone had an experience in prescribing it to their own pet or a patient.

Here is some additional information for reference…

Drug Name:  Slentrol (dirlotapide)
Manufacturer:  Slentrol is manufactured by Pfizer Inc., New York, NY (more…)
