Menu Foods recalled 60 million containers of cat and dog food earlier this month after animals died of kidney failure. Anecdotal reports suggest hundreds if not thousands have died. The FDA alone has received more than 8,000 complaints...

I'm posting this in many groups. I want you to know that I've had people actually argue to me that their pet eats one of these foods, but not the "wet" kind so it's fine!...Completely missing the point!!!
Whatever food you feed your pets (hopefully you can afford certified organic and raw), PLEASE discontinue use of any of the big brand name Mass Manufactured pet foods! It seems that every year there is another Recall for some poison or other toxin. There are several good, healthy, safe brands out there which are affordable, too.
