It's that, and it's poor oversight I think.. did you see today they had a
second recall of chicken jerky treats for dogs in as many weeks?

That to me is sickening.

I dunno.. older dogs and younger (puppies) certainly can die from some of
these products that are recalled in the food market.  And who knows if those
"glow-in-dark" bowls are safe.. won't know until somebody's pet dies :(

I have a feeling as companies try to cut corners, we're going to see plenty of
this kind of thing :(

I saw an ad on TV tonight for a company that had it's dog food recalled.. or
it sure LOOKED like the same company... remember the Diamond Dog Food that was
recalled a few times?  This ad I saw tonight used the same logo but a differnt
company name.. yeah sure.. bet that's a whole different company 

I read somewhere (not on the web, it was a dog training book) that the best
food for your pets was 1lb cooked meat, and a couple of cups of rice.. who
knows if that's true though.. :(

Take care,
Janis
