This entire pet food problem has made me sad and upset
. My heart goes out to everyone who has had a pet that has become ill or has died from this. Our pets are our family, and we want to feed them good food. When something like this happens, it makes you wonder exactly what kind of safety standards are out there--even for our food.
I've been feeding our Golden Retriever "Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul", which doesn't have any bi-products or wheat or corn fillers that I am aware of. Her vet has commented, every time she goes in for her check up, on how healthy she is and how good she looks. I feel that this food is a quality product and is probably one of the main reasons for her good health. This company also makes a cat food formula, and I checked the ingredients on the dry food bag, and it also appears not to have any wheat or corn fillers. I used to buy this brand at a local, holistic pet food shop, but unfortunately, she had to close her doors. So, I have been buying the food on line. Shipping costs are high, but the actual cost of the food is lower than I paid at the store, so it all evens out. If anyone is interested, the website is petfooddirect.com. They have weekly sales with discount coupons too.
My prayers to the cats and dogs and their loving owners; may they stay healthy and happy.
