Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 OK KIDS...you have to fix the links. They have spaces. I was going to fix them, but frequently screws them up anyway. SO just hit it...and when the page comes up as unavailable, delete the " %20 " ...or what ever your browser does. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!! Share the news with your neighbors and friends. Please alert any older folks you know, especially those who might not have internet access. The television, and the newspapers do not have complete lists. My heart breaks for those affected...and it will be millions. Sat, 24 Mar 2007 11:40 PM Pet Food Friday, March 23, 2007 10:58 PM MENU FOODS (AGAIN) EXPANDS LIST OF RECALLED FOODS Here's the info. Things to look for are being off food, not wanting to eat. Drinking excess water. Not urinating as much or at all. Throwing up. It's not all confirmed except the wet food.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Are there any other dry foods that have turned up that way? One of my cats has food allergies anyway, so I cant give him wet food. I'm thinking about just feeding my cats human food until this whole thing clears up. Colby Hardison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Have you read that the so-called " contamination " was probably rat poison? Sounds like somebody dumped some bags of poison in the vats, hoping to kill lots of pets and/or ruin the company. How twisted must a person be to attempt mass murder of helpless pets? If they catch the villain(s) I'd support a slow-death execution. Di , Colby <cbhardison wrote: > > Are there any other dry foods that have turned up that way?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Colby- You are better off feeding a natural diet anyway, cats are complete carnivores. I have three dogs and all are naturally fed and I have no worries, and thankful that I have been doing this for years now.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I believe that cats are carnivores and unlike dogs, will not do well on a typical human diet! I never had a cat as a pet, but I remember when I was a kid that we sort of had this cat which my mother used to feed raw meat scraps whenever she butchered a chicken... other than that rare treat, the cat was suppose to find its own food by hunting mice and keeping the house free from pests!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I had thoughts of fermenting some to add to the meat due to that...now getting them to eat homemade is a another story.. joe dennis <turtle3fish wrote: While ,cats are carnavores they still need vegatation in their diet.because of their short intestinal track ,it must be predigested.That why cats in the wild eat the guts of their pray. stehle_2 <stehle_2 wrote: Colby- You are better off feeding a natural diet anyway, cats are complete carnivores.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 True, and this is true to wolves and dogs, the vegetation is such a small amount.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hello ! I'm a lurker (and an animal lover), and I hope you don't mind my butting in with a question on this topic: Has anyone ever heard of/tried the Bravo Raw Diet on their pets ? I'd be interested in any opinions ! Thanks Scott http://www.bravorawdiet.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Our 14 yr old 80 lb Golden has been on a raw meat diet for six years now and looks half his age... no white face. He came down with arthritis that was so bad that I had to carry him up the stairs (which got old quickly) when he turned eight. At that time, I received Dr. Bruce West's newsletter. In it, West said that if you feed your dog raw meat for thirty days, any arthritis will clear up... guaranteed. I did some research online and started him on it and, as promised, it worked and continues to do so. I feed him all of the cooked veggies that he will eat in addition, but the trick starts with raw meat. The story behind the story is in the enzymes which get cooked out in dog as well as people food. Think about it. Dog food is fried in vats. It is amazing that they survive at all on a totally fried food diet. One warning: if you go that way, be prepared for about two weeks of terrible diarrhea... a small price for a healthy dog. In this case, I was not ready to transition him slowly... my back could not stand the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
