Exclamation For the Many Pet Lovers Here

Seems many of us love pets as well as orchids. Here's some info you might be interested it.


Non-Recall Recall Of Pet Foods!

Q: When Is A Pet Food Recall A Non-Recall?
A: When An American Company And A Chinese Or Another Foreign Company Conspire To Bypass The Food And Drug Administration Regulations, With The Un-Spoken Blessing Of The FDA!
(Arlena)

Three new recalls have been recently issued on pet foods. This includes Wal-Mart sold Jerky Treats,
Red Flannel Dog Food, and Krasdale Gravy. For more information please visit:
America

Don't wait for the FDA to make their announcements. Get notifications within the hour of new recalls and save your pet's life. Sign your family and friends up for the free pet alerts at:
Pet Food Recall

The full list of already recalled food can be found at:
Pet Food Recall

Please help get the word out and forward this email to any pet owners you know. Our goal is to keep our pets safe. Please keep your pets safe.

You really have to pay attention these days to ingredients in all food these days. A lot of the food we and our animals eat originate outside the U.S.

Why don't people feed their pets regular food like they do everywhere else and the way they used to do it here. It can't be that bad for them? Can it?

Thanks Deb for the post...its good information.
I used to feed my "kid" AKA Keiko the Rottie in my avatar, a BARF diet. It was hard to get used to and hard to hunt down the sources of where I could find stuff from. But thats a different story.

You are right. I forgot about that. In the last 6 months, I would say I eat restaurant/caffeteria etc.. food 7/10 times. Its not good for my waist or my wallet
