Thumbs down healthiest way

to feed them is by pressure cooking whole chickens
so they can eat everything bones and all.

the additives they use and the old meat source isn't
worth the money you pay for it.

That company burns my ass. You read how they are testing the food to find the contamination? They fed the recalled food to 50 dogs and cats to study their reaction! Around 9 died

thats considered an acceptable loss.....

not much different then dropping stuff into
a live rabbits eye...to check for irritation
that is how PETA got.... started...

same with drugs....it's ok if a certain percentage
of the population of humans dies....as long as it's in the
acceptable number category

My wife feeds her cat bagged science diet. The bags aren't being recalled but the cat hadn't eaten in 2 weeks. She took him to the vet about 3 days b/f the story broke. I think somethings wrong w/the bagged food also.

The thing I found interesting is how this contamination is being found in food sold under many different brand names, even the big ones like Purina and Iams. While they are out there claiming their food is so much better than their competitions it turns out that its all the same stuff.

Thumbs down

wow! iams too.......i thought that might be a better quality...

i'm going to return it....

i saved the bottom end of my Bj's roast chicken for the dog viddles
4.99 cooked ain't a bad deal...

next purchase is a pressure cooker...

BTW - pets are considered property and so
in legal eyes compensation in a class action law suit
will be next to nothing!!!!

Dogs should be fed raw meat/bones. Cooking makes the bones brittle and prone to splintering. My new puppy has been fed raw meat since he needed real food, chicken thighs, necks, turkey etc. I've been grinding the meat/bones right now but when he gets bigger he will eat it without grinding. Do a search on BARF, some interesting stuff.
