Pet Food Recall-Dog Foods and Cat Foods UPDATE
“THE GOOD DOG AND CAT FOOD LIST”
Baby Boomers, I found a new list of “GOOD DOG AND CAT FOOD” for you.
I got this list from “Is My Pet Food Safe” an article written by Susan Peters.
For Baby Boomers who are new pet owners or didn’t catch the HUGE pet food industry cover up…there is no regulations on what animal food companies put in our pets foods.
And if your pet is harmed, it is not unlike losing a child…like most of us feel. However, according to the law, our pets are considered only as livestock only. So, there is not much recourse, except only serve your best friend off the safe list or make your own food, like I do.
Be aware that pet food is being sold as “Complete and Balanced” has continually contained such items as euthanized animals, restaurant grease, hides and hair, hooves, road kill, diseased animals, and other garbage, that you do not want to even read about.
Dry pet foods have a long shelf life, most 12 months. They need to remain edible through shipping, storage and such. And the fats used in your pet foods are preserved with either synthetic or “natural” preservatives. I won’t bore you with the names, but Baby Boomers, you wouldn’t want to eat them.
Below, I have given you the new list of dog and cat food that is safe for your four legged best friend. I have compiled it so you will be able to print it on one piece of paper. That you can carry with you when you go shopping.
Then I suggest that you go to Susan Peters site and read what else she has to say about what the pet food industry is actually selling you.
I make my dogs their own food. Usually some type of stew every night when I cook my food.
And in my recipe section I even have an animal cracker recipe (not for humans, even though they are tasty).
And the WORST dog food out there is Ol’ Roy…and guess who sells it…WalMart…I do not shop there any more. And besides that, they quit selling “American Made Products.” Putting Americans out of work. Don’t think it doesn’t matter, because Walmart is the leader in shopping marts.

Ol’ Roy Dog Food is considered one of the poorest quality dog foods on the market, scored 5 out of a possible 10. WalMart sells it.
The life span of your furry face should be at least 20 years. Your furry face friends diet will strongly influence your pet’s life span. Rule of thumb, “if your pet food DOESN’T score a 10 out of 10, don’t buy it!”

OK, so you have feed your dog, now what? How about some tricks, obidence or work on some of their bad behavior problems.SitStayFetch

“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about the answers.” — Thomas Pynchon
There is a lot of confusion about a species appropriate diet for dogs. The “why” is that we have crossed the line between science and prolific industry propaganda. Since the 1950s vast sums of money have been poured into shaping public perception because the profits are enormous. Not to mention that “we the people” have a tendency towards anthropomorphism, and convenience is a driving force.
For unbiased scientific information see the “Ol’ Shep’s Plight: Diet”
My best to you and yours,

I make my own dog food with raw vegetables, canned Nature’s Variety and brown rice. Was going to use the medallions in Nature’s Variety but was told last year several dogs died from parasites found in the medallions. I put my dogs on homemade food to keep them from getting these problems, I just hope Nature Variety is safe to use.
My dog does not know what regular dog food is…she eats better than I do…coz I do not eat meat.

Susan Peters is a nut. If anyone has read her postings on dog foods she has no clue how to read labels, talks a lot of nonsense and her opinion overlal is to be questioned. Also, there are products on the “safe” list that have been recalled (off the top of my head, Petcurean Pet Nutrition).
I agree that Susan Peters is a total nut. You can find dog food that she says gets a 9 out of 10 for goodness and on another page she rates the exact same dog food as toxic to your dog. Not just once but many instances. Talk to your vet or better yet learn how to read the labels. I feed my old boy Blue Buffalo dry with Verus or Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers wet mixed in and he’s 14, shiny, fit and acting like a puppy still.
I do not give my dog, Hannah, dog food. She eats what I do or chicken hot dogs or chicken that I prepare for her. Since I am a vegetarian, she gets a lot of vegetables and fruits. She does just fine not eating dog food or red meat.

Hey guys, I have had pets, dogs, my whole life, at the age of 54 now, I’m finding that I have a new child, she is a Boxer now 8 months old, I’m having a terrible time trying to find food that doesn’t make her have loose stools or diarea as far as that goes, I’ve tried Solid Gold ( she would not eat it–large breed puppy chow)I have tried Purina pup, wysong? -Wellness, Precise lg breed puppy really messes her up, and now I’m changing to Chicken Soup For The Soul Pup as we speak. Since she has been on Precise I’m mixing it to change her over. She gets only 3 cups a day, 1 &1/2 in the mornings and 1&1/2 in the evening. I’m at my witts end. I have never had this problem before and I’ve owned several breeds, however with that being said I have never had a Boxer before. Also everyone said to introduce her to Missing Link—NO. COULD NOT TOLORATE EVEN 1/4 teaspoon a day. So I would GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY IMPUT YOU COULD GIVE ME. I’m disabled so cooking for her is out. But I LOVE MY DAUGHTER AND I AM REACHING OUT TO ANYONE THAT CAN ADVISE ME HERE SINCE HER DR JUST GIVES HER MEDS FOR DIAREA AND WANTS ME TO GO WITH SCIENCE DIET,( naturally the vets sell it) so if anyone can give me a little imput I’d be ever so greatful, and so would “MEMORY ONE” & I call her ” MEM”.
I do not give my dog food from the stores. I make my own. She eats good and does not have lose stools. I am glad to hear that you do not give her meds. Like the modern western medicine…it is their way is to write a prescription to solve and fix anything from a headache, loose stool or a heart problem.
I am not a vet but I do give my dog vegetables and even though I am a vegetarian, I give she chicken. I can make a chicken go longer than a mom on food stamps with 5 hungry children. I have a couple of recipes in the recipe section for dogs and cats…I am also going to put up a Dog cookie recipe for Valentines Day. I hope to get it up tonight. Look for my “animal crackers recipe” .
Mix in vegetables into your dogs food…test them to see which ones that she likes. Peas, carrots, green beans, spinach, dark red kidney beans, but NO onions!
Southern smiles and dog paws,
Sharon
