Thank goodness Mom makes our food for us! We'll never have to worry about this:
Some of you may have heard already, there has been a Nation-wide recall announced for some canned and pouch cat and dog foods. Please take a good look at any foods you currently have to make sure it is not included in the recall. (link below) There are many of the majors on the list (Iams, Science Diet, Nutro) so it never hurts to just check.

The contaminated foods have caused dogs and cats to become sick, "showing signs of kidney failure." Symptoms include drinking a lot, vomiting, loss of appetite, and lethargy.
That's no fun at all! This is THE VERY reason Mom stopped feeding us mass produced products and switched to a natural diet. Boy are we ever glad she did.... the fresh stuff tastes so much better and we all feel so great! The research she has been doing for several years has been pointing in this direction. It was only a matter of time before it happened. It is unfortunate to say but most veterinarians recieve large profits for promoting some of these products. Many were not given the nutritional educational in school and are at the mercy of pet food companies who are generally in the business to make profits.
If change is to be made it is going to have to come from animal guardians educating themselves and demanding a higher standard of fare for us beloved companions. Think of it this way, you wouldn't feed your human baby the same highly processed, chemically tainted kibbled or canned food everyday for the rest of their life. So why would you do that to us animal family members? We need a diet based on a variation of whole organic foods just like humans do for optimal wellness.
Do let Mom know if she can answer any of your questions or make suggestions for alternate products. We will be blogging about this information as more is learned and sharing some of our favorite recipes and such.
To better educate yourself, we offer a few book recommendations that have very valuable infomation about animal wellness, vaccination side-effects, natural diet, etc.

This could actually turn out to be something very positive. It is bringing attention to a subject where change is LONG overdue. Lets intend that all animals stay well through the recall and that more people become proactive about standards being raised to benefit us animal companions.
Peace and biscuits,
