New Reasons for Pet Lovers to Lose Sleep

by joi on August 22, 2007

If you’re like me, you love your pets as much as some people (better than some I’ve had the displeasure of meeting).  You’re also probably just as horrified by the tragedies involving  unsafe pet food.

I’ll always believe that we lost our dog, Wednesday, largely because of tainted food. He was, like, 675 years old, so it would be very tough to prove.  Plus, common sense dictates that the little guy didn’t have much time left. 

However, most of the animals being harmed aren’t 675.  My heart breaks for everyone who has lost a very special friend during these scares.  It’s completely and utterly senseless.

Unfortunately, I read this morning that there’s a new scare.  Chicken Jerky Strips and Chicken Jerky have been pulled from the shelves in Wal-Mart stores after Pet owners reported their dogs getting sick.  The products were made in China - as if the country needed any more bad news.

Read the story for more details:  Melamine Found in Dog Treats

Needless to say, if you know anyone with dogs, tell them about the products so they can toss them out.

Great blog. I really liked it. I have also created a lens in same niche. This is my first time, hope u guys like it. Here’s a brief intro: Most Dog owners are conscious of feeding their Dog healthy pet foods. However when it comes to treats, sometimes they forget about the healthy aspects. Treat your Dog with Healthy Dog Treats as well. Most Dog Treat don’t have all natural ingredients and are not 100% healthy for your pets. There are some dog treats such as Bully Sticks that are 100% all natural. And since they contain no chemicals or preservatives, your dog is assured of receiving a “clean” and healthy pet treat. Besides being totally safe for your dog, they are also fully digestible and a great source of protein. http://www.squidoo.com/dog-treats/
