To Patti, Do not feel guilty. Sounds to me like you do great by your pets. At least you give to the amount you are able. I doubt it matters on brands anyhow. Seems to me all the companies are going to buy cheaper ingredients to make a higher profit margin. We were feeding our dogs Prime Cuts Alpo. All you can do right now is not feed them any more.
It’s not just the pet food industry though it’s everything. Take for example: 5 years ago my mom died of lymphoma cancer. She didn’t smoke, drink, and was not over weight. They say it comes from chemicals they use on fields (crops of corn, soybeans, wheat, etc…) and such. The farmers are aware of it, the government is aware, but they still all spray the crops, people spray their yards, etc…. There are dangers to pets and people everywhere and we just have to try to do the best we can. Unfortunately we can not always protect our loved ones from dangers. We can only try.

They make "Ol Roy" dog biscuits......And are ONLY recalling the 10 lb. bags.!!! And, I know, "Ol Roy is cr*p, but I buy the 5 lb. bags 'cause my veggie dog can only eat the "green" ones, and they always have an excess of them in bags.... And, trust me, I've tried almost all the "supposedly" good veg. brands..... NONE of my dogs would eat them!!! So, w/ the non-green cookies, I do give them to my other 3...... And, to me, (2) 5 lbs. = (1) 10 lb. Right? So whose to say they all don't come from the same batch? Makes sense to me.... And, the CS person at Sunshine gave me a lame explanation..... Made NO sense at all. HYPERLINK "http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/0201e0309e/11"; And, now my Ginger has not been "right". She goes to vet tomorrow..... (Fingers crossed, prayers needed) I can't believe how "stupid" I've been.... Me, ever so careful, cooking for critters to "avoid" problems, and I bought "Ol Roy"!!! Just needed to vent....... (Also "wondering" if poor Bart got so deathly ill so fast because of his wet food - Special Kitty. I know, lousy stuff too, but me being on such a limited income, tons of bills, gave it to him 'cause he loved wet food!!! And, I was feeding Innova Dry.... DUMB,DUMB,DUMB! ) It's at the point where I'm going to ALL home cooked foods, for cats & dogs. Don't trust ANYTHING!!!)
