REVISED INFORMATION RE: PEDIGREE BRAND DOG FOOD

Hello, Patch Pet Lovers.

The original post has been deleted and replaced with the following link to the Consumer Affairs Complaints re:  Pedigree.

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/pedigree.html

Also provided is a link to the TruthAboutPetFood.com's article pertaining to why many reports of sickness and deaths of pets may not prompt an investigation by the FDA; hence, the lack of recalls implemented.  

Although the article references Beneful, the issue to focus on is the appropriate method of reporting an incident if your pet has become ill as the result of pet food and/or treats.

Quote by Susan Thixton, Pet Food Safety Advocate

"Please, please, please – everyone – if you believe your pet has become sick or died due to a pet food or treat, report this to FDA and to your State Department of Agriculture.  Here is the link to report to FDA:

http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/ReportaProblem/ucm182403.htm  If your pet was treated by a veterinarian, please encourage your veterinarian to report the issue as well.  To report to your State Department of Agriculture, visit your state website to get phone numbers, ask to speak to the pet food investigator.

"If all of these reports of sick/dying pets are legitimate on the ConsumerAffairs.com website, more pets could be getting sick right now simply because the FDA cannot investigate what is not reported to them."

Hoping everyone has a tail-waggin' purrrfect weekend!
