Interest in Homemade Dog Food is Revived Because of Recent Pet FoodProduct ..
On March 16, 2007, Menu Fund, a large manufacturer of dog food, announced a "precautionary" recall of pet foods it manufactured between December 3, 2006 and March 3, 2007. The list of dog food items recalled include 56 dog food products, including best choice dog food, as well as 42 cat food items. Menu Fund's announcement caused widespread panic amongst pet owners and a flurry of activity at the news desks. Why did Menu Fund recall the dog food? Apparently, in early December, some members of the U.S. scientific community raised concerns about some adverse effects of the pet foods on the renal (kidney) systems of both dogs and cats. Luckily, Menu Fund was smart enough to recognize that the introduction of the complaints coincided with the introduction of a new ingredient back in December. Therefore, all products manufactured around this time were recalled. This recall only underlines the necessity of paying more attention to what our pets eat. There is a lot to be said for preparing homemade dog food for our dogs. Some of us don't mind eating take-out and other foods that are not only lacking in nutrition, but can actually harm us. We eat those kinds of foods and we feed them to our pets and family. However, some of us are very particular about what we eat and we therefore, choose organic healthy items for ourselves and families. There is no reason why our dining habits should not also extend to our pets. After all, some of us consider our pets to be akin to children. The best way to reassure that our pets are getting the best nutrition is to prepare the dog food ourselves.... http://groups.google.com/group/dogfoodmave |
