My dog Missy ate Nutro Natural(dry) small bites, On 4-20-07 my dog was never sick until this new bag, she couldn't
walk, and drank tons of water just to throw it back up.
Took her to the vet for a pain etc... She was very very sick.
She died wthin 4 days after eating out of this new bag.
I called the co. They said that food is not on the recall list (for now)....But Missy "7 years old" died April 25th.

If you don't want to feed your pets raw meat you can always boil it first.

[confusedcat-2009]

Contrary to what one person said, many vets are just fine with feeding your pets raw foods. Mine is.
I don't do it, but I'm very close to trying it because I love my pets too much to see them poisoned.

It looks like globalization is going well. Who needs a self-sufficient manufacturing base anyway? It's good to see that the Chinese are looking out for our well-being.

BTW - mswolfestock continually posts advertisements about Pedigree to this board, regardless of what anyone else says. My guess is he/she works for Mars, the parent company.

Check to see if Pedigree uses any of the following ingredients:

Wheat Gluten, Rice Gluten, Rice Protein, Rice Protein Concentrate, Corn Gluten, Corn Gluten Meal, Corn By-Products, Soy Protein, Soy Gluten, Proteins (includes amino acids and protein hydrosylates), Mung Bean Protein.

If it does, you are STILL AT RISK. Some pet owners, such as myself, have noticed their animals still getting ill eating foods which are NOT on the list, such as Purina.

Hey everybody, you should try Pedigree brand dog food - this is the only brand that was never mentioned in any of the pet food recalls. Pedigree is part of the Mars Company, the candy bar people. I've been thanking my lucky stars every day that I've been using Pedigree for years. Before you start to cook for your pets, check with your vet - there are lots of nutrients that your pets need which are not found in the best of human foods. And NO, DON'T FEED YOUR PETS RAW MEAT - I DON'T CARE WHAT THAT OTHER COMMENTER SAID - DO NOT FEED YOUR PETS RAW MEAT - THEY ARE NOT USED TO IT AND THEY WILL NOT GET THE PROPER NUTRIENTS THAT ARE FOUND IN MOST COMMERCIAL PET FOODS. IT MIGHT ALSO MAKE THEM SICK SINCE THEY ARE PROBABLY NOT USED TO IT.

I want to give CBS News kudos for scooping this story. CNN, NBC and FOX have been esentially ignoring the story for the last week, and ABC is still reporting on events from 2 days ago. The NY Times (as usual) seems to be sitting on the fence. Only CBS News, by running the above story, is driving events in a forward-looking direction.

Everyone seems surprised that the Chinese would harm a pet. But it was only a few years ago when the world discovered China was disposing of female babies, remember the outrage when that got out.A married couple could only have one child and all the men wanted sons so baby girls were drowned or tossed on the scrap heap for the dogs to eat, some caring couples sent them to orphanages to starve.And you all think they wouldn't deliberately poison animals to make money.
