No matter what we feed to OUR DOGS OR PUT INTO OUR BODIES AS WELL NOTHING IS 100% SAFE! RAW feeding isn't guaranteed safe, canned, dry, alpo, or all organic.......And that goes for us HUMANS TO! Look what happened to our spinach and peanut butter recently :rolleyes: NOTHING is fullproof..........

That's what I was trying to hint at albeit a little more in a subtle way. ;)

Hence my question of, do you know where your food comes from? It's scary, what's happening, but nothing is really "safe".

This why I'm desperately saving to get a house with a big enough yard to plant my own garden and get my mom to teach me how to can/freeze. Then I'm going to continue to go down to a local butcher, who sells only local beef from smaller ranchers in the area. I've always wanted to be self-sufficent as far as food goes...if I could get enough land I would put up a windmill (old style) and some new-gen solar panels and try and wean off of the electric grid as much as possible.

I would love to do that, Zoom. Once we get a house, we would love to have our own garden and for the most part only eat what we grow.

Of course nothing is foolproof...but I found this, and thought it would be worth posting since everyone was asking about what food were / weren't on the list...

Oh, I know Jess and I'm glad you did post it :) ! I was just clarifying that just because someone feeds raw food or the crappiest or highest quality kibble doesn't mean one is more safer than the other..........;)

Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that Natura's wet foods are made by Menu Foods? I would expect a company with such a good reputation to make their own foods.

That is why I feed Canidae.

Hey, the pet food companies are the ones that determine which ingredients go in the cans in the first place. Note that Natura uses only U.S. ingredients.

I don't feed Canidae because my dog wouldn't touch it.

While they do get to determine what goes in the cans.. I have a problem with my chicken meal being beside some nasty company's meat and bone meal or whatever.

Isn't it ironic that some of the crappiest foods on the market are not affected by the recall? Imagine feeding Alpo or Dog Chow?

I mean, Beneful can probably kill animals all by itself without the help of Menu Foods.

But Eagle Pack has a LOT of nerve outsourcing with the prices they charge.

I have a question..do you guys think that any of these food companies that manufacture their own dry foods would let someone from the public, such as you or me..to go into the factory and look around for our own piece of mind?

I'm so suspicious about dry dog food now..and canned especially..I feed my dogs innova evo and timberwolf organics (rotate)...and I'm not even 100 percent comfortable with it now with all this crap happening..gosh its scary..we honestly DON'T know what goes into our pet foods..

How open would all of these companies be about anyone visiting..and would you have to make an appointment first (so that maybe they can prepare the factory for the visit and make it spik and span) or could you just drop in?

It's all too scary...

I'm reading the reviews of Pitcairn's book and notice several people mentioning that his diet recommendations are heavy on grains, the one thing most of us strive to avoid.

Email the companies! You could say, "in the light of significant pet food recalls I was hoping to tour your factory so I can rest assured that I'm feeding the highest quality diet possible."

ditto! I'm interested as well! I've always had good communications and responses with Natura -- I'm interested in their response. . .

Has anyone watched the video in response to the recall on natura's website?
