For anyone that would like to read an excellent report on the ‘ins and outs’ of the pet food industry – I was recently forwarded a 2006 paper written by a Harvard Law Student. His paper is posted online at the following link: http://leda.law.harvard.edu/leda/data/784/Patrick06.html

Again, this is an excellent report. Take the time to read it. 

 

Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,

Sick Pet Caused by a Pet Food?

If your pet has become sick or has died you believe is linked to a pet food, it is important to report the issue to FDA and your State Department of Agriculture.

Save all pet food – do not return it for a refund.
