The media coverage around here (at least this AM) was misleading as it never mentioned the long list of names this stuff was sold under, only the main name. I had better make a couple of calls to friends ASAP as I recognize their pets' brands on the list. My cat suddenly got very ill about two weeks ago. At the time I had tried a new brand of food that was supposed to lessen hairballs, I wondered at the time but never imagined a brand name from a large supplier would be problematic. Yikes. Mac
Re: [MBZ] OT Dog food warning
Hey Rich, I don't want to make you tired of the same wishes, but honestly, as someone whose four-legged buddy was just about his only buddy for several years, it's hard to imagine how hard this must be for you. Wish you the best. I have a rather spacey friend - somewhat older lady who is into Dobies like I am. She talks about her belief that her departed companions are waiting for her at the bridge. I think there's a whole story surrounding this that many subscribe to. Also, I always grew up being taught in my system of belief that animals don't have a soul and thus simply return to dust upon death. But I have heard lately that some theologians are now proclaiming (as many have apparently in the past) that the animals that we love will actually be present in Heaven. I am still skeptical about that. What about the billions of animals that nobody loves? But if it's true, I'll have to abandon my tactic of saying That's okay, I won't be sad when you die! when my particularly spirited Dobie causes me frustration. This tactic sure did help me though, when my extraordinary Magnum died a couple years ago. During the grieving, I just remembered the very real and multitudinous times that he made me so mad I didn't know what to do. Just some thoughts. brian On 3/23/07, Rich Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know this clogs up the mail list, but in this case I really want to get out the info, cause this is a real serious problem --- So I just saw now that they think the stuff killing pets is rat poison that was in Chinese wheat used to make the food.

Rich, I'm real sorry to hear about your dogs. I hope somebody nails the b*st*rds that are responsible. This is Texas, man, you don't mess with our dawgs.

Re: [MBZ] OT Dog food warning
Rich, I'm really sorry to hear that. I would angry as hell to see my dogs go through that. We just feed Eukanuba dry food (I add water), so I think I'm OK as I THINK all the recalls have been on canned food. Again, I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll be able to get in on a class action suit, but that doesn't bring your dog back...or help your surviving dog with any lingering after effects, if there are any.

Our 2 little girls are so close it;s hard to imagine them dieing in such a terrible way. It must have been very hard on you seeing both of them sick. I wonder if there'll be some class-action lawsuit? Typically I'm against law suits - but when a foreign govt like China takes advantage of us I think they should be punished. They probably get by with very little oversight on their facilities - and their use of prison labor makes their products unfairly underpriced. Anyway, the primary problem is your loss - We've used LifeScience hard food for our 2 and have seen good results. Also, they have several variants for different situations. Again, sorry to hear of your loss. I'm your other dog is healthy!

Re: [MBZ] OT Dog food warning
Rich, I too am really sorry about hear about your dogs. As a dog lover-my 240D is known as the dog taxi, as I haul our two rescued Goldens in it, I find this so hard to take. I do hope your younger one is OK. Maybe some tighter controls will come out of this. Thanks for warning us and giving us info that I have not seen in the media.

Re: [MBZ] OT Dog food warning
Thanks all for the kind words. Losing a dedicated companion animal of many years is hard but life goes on. Y'all just make sure none of this stuff is in your house. Here is a link to the recalled items, but I think there are more brands than what is listed. I had Safeway stuff, not on this list, but it was pulled. http://www.menufoods.com/recall/product_dog.html --R
Re: [MBZ] OT Dog food warning
Our three cats only eat Trader Joe's and Naturalife, none of which contain byproducts. I wonder whether there are labeling requirements for country of origin? I never checked but will do so when I get home... On 3/23/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Rich, I too am really sorry about hear about your dogs.

Re: [MBZ] OT Dog food warning
I grieve for the passing of a member of your family. A truly terrible thing to witness. On a darker note. Might have been a ploy by the Chinese to poison older americans who must subsist on canned food.
