FDA sends out warning, Pet Food imported from China is KILLING pets. Major Brands! Several years ago after the melanine contaminated pet food came out- also attributed to china I think, I read an article. I do not remember the name of it, but a significant veterinary oganization did some research. What they discovered was not that cinese manufacturers were stuffing the food with melanine to boost the protein content (?). They concluded that the melanine came from rice/grains grown in asia. It seems that Asia uses a lot of GMO'd grains, at least rice, and in studying this, it was found that when herbicide was gmo'd into the seed, the seed or plant breaks it down at some point, and once of the components is melanine. It has been decided that there is an acceptable level of melanine for the seed or plant to generate. However, GMO companies have observed and recorded that not all seeds produce the levels that are acceptable. They label these as "renegade seeds". The veterinary organization believed it was the accumulation of melanine from gmod grains that caused the problem. Apparently in the US that was also offered as an explanation but was quickly altered to the one most people heard. I have also discovered in looking for foods for my pets, that probiotics which are usually found in dog food these days,are gmo'd and do not have to be labled as such in USA. Canada actually produces a list and may have some labeling requirements, which is how I even know about it since I found the list online by accident. This is not to say that pet products produced in china are not filled with crap. What I am saying is most products in pet food are questionable at best. Mainstream human products these days are dangerous enough. . |

Major Brands! Workers at one abortion mill (State run of course) were caught serving a soup weekly made of aborted fetuses that they collected over the week, refrigerated, and then put into this "soup" that they served their co-workers and friends every Friday! Quoting: MarkinAZ These people are not human! I cannot imagine a human being could do such a thing even if not eating would mean starvation. Better to die than to consume such a travesty of murdered babies flesh! But it did make the news. The were warned that it was not "appropriate" and the government did nothing else. I have been to Communist China several times in the course of my career and I will tell you that I loathe and despise the country. The Chinese Nationals I had to deal with were several steps above the average in terms of money, education, earning power, social strata, etc. And they were still - to a man or woman - complete idiots when they had to do or discuss anything outside their narrowly defined field of training and education. Most of them would pick their nose in public, eat the results of their nasal explorations and then eat without washing their hands after such an exploration into their own nose. Their table manners (even allowing for cultural differences) were horrid! They could make you quite ill if you watched any of them eating. The other thing I noticed is that as a people they have very little compassion or feeling for the needs or rights of anyone other than themselves. It seems to be a national level problem, also. Even Chinese mothers are now cold and distant toward their babies and they're raising a generation of psychotics who have no empathy or compassion for anyone!

Thats why I make / bake / cook just about everything at home from scratch. Better for you , tastes better and keeps the family closer together. That may work for someone who doesn't work 60 hours a week, but for the rest of us, we have to rely on our gov't/state/city oversite commitees. Obviously, they are NOT doing their jobs. Why in the HELL do I have a third of my paycheck taken away every week if they can't even monitor the friggin dog food! Useless POS's. I'm a medic work atleast 6 days a week. I find the time to do those things. Sometimes cook a bunch, freeze it one day to eat the rest of the week. But understand where you come from. |

Take a look at Marshalls, Target, etc. EVERYTHING in those places is made in CHINA! From the faucets for the tub, to the bath mats, pillows, you name it. ALL!!!!!! We've got to stop buying this shit. We really really do. We've got to start looking for stuff made in U.S. Start ONLY buying U.S. And yes, I know! It means paying a little more. Hell, if you can even find the product manufactured in the U.S. at ALL. |

FDA sends out warning, Pet Food imported from China is KILLING pets. Major Brands! A problem with the gmo'd substances is that they are not necessarily compatible with human digestive, assimilation, and consequently, metabolic processes. ( or for animals as well) Since the small intestine has much to do with immunity and nutrient absorption as well. introducing incompatibilities and unknowns is problematic. Also contributes to sensitivities, allergies, autoimmune disorders, endocrine disorders, failure to thrive scenarios. An example of the failure to thrive can be seen in a person with gluten intolerance who starts wasting away and developing various health issues as a result of damaged small intestine lining capacity for absorption |

I know exactly what is in it, no preservatives, no additives and certainly no killer ingredients. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17851333 They don't give a damn about your animals. Stop buying their crap if you can. And not just pet food either! really, you make it out of stuff you bought at the store right? My animals won't eat store meat anymore, not one of them. I don't either. |

All i can say is, NO SHIT. You even analyzed some of the pet food in cans? It's garbage disguised with scents. agreed and anything that says animal parts or whatever in the label is mystery food. You have no idea which animal it is. IN THIIS COUNTRY vets have been caught sending euthenized cats and dogs to renderiing plants which then make "food" and cannibalism is not good for your pets. |

Quoting: scorpio66 why would you ones buy all those treats that are obviously fake plastic food anyway for your pets?????? I do not understand that. they look like RUBBER. well, gosh. they were for my power chewing puppy as there was a phase in her early puppyhood where we had to try practically everything chewable bc she could just chomp everything and break it up instead of chewing it. but she has outgrown that somewhat now and the offending treats are actually leftovers, looks like only 1 was ever given out. if i recall, they were pretty nasty so that is probably why. |

I've mostly only ever fed her Nutro and Eukanuba products and never had any problems and she's healthy as a horse. All the stuff you listed by Nestle is crap, junk. If people are buying that for their animals they'd might as well feed them McDonald's. Though I did try her on those sweet potato duck wrapped treats *once*. I've been broke before and the dog was happy to eat buttered rice, raw eggs, and Ramen without the MSG flavored powder that it comes with. Better to give that then any cheap crap dog food, made in China or otherwise. |
