Interesting...I have fed my cat Wellness canned for about 4 years. We thought he was diabetic. I had fed him Science Diet Light. I switched him to only a little dry (Purina DM) and Wellness. His health improved. However he is now hyperthyroid.
(he's 17) I have now been feeding him Pet Promise. http://www.petpromiseinc.com/home2.htm

In general, pet food without wheat or corn is better, as if food without meat by-products. MSNBC just had an article about this -- http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17845205/ |

For those who feed commercial dog food. Here's a very good website for further reading. Anything you want to know about your commercial dog food is explained here:

This came through one of my list-servs this a.m. Seems like a plan:
Dear Friends: Please join us in sending a letter to the FDA asking for better solutions to make sure pet food and products are safe. Sending a physical letter, plus a (nonreturnable) picture of your pet attached to it would be best. While emails may be simpler and faster, most politicians and advocates will tell you a physical, "snail-mail" letter is still the way to get your point across. So we're trying to collect a lot of letters. Whether you own a dog or a cat, or any other companion animal (birds, small mammals, reptiles, fish) please let the FDA know your concerns. Click here for a letter which you can just print out and attach a picture of your pet to, and send to the New York Tails mailbox. (Or paste http://www.newyorktails.com/petfoodrecall.htm into your browser.) Very truly yours, Diane West Publisher New York Tails

ETA: I just opened the link provided by Fit1 and that article claims that they have identified a dry dog food that is contaminated but will not give the name yet. What is up with that??? They need to let people know now! |
