Many people don't know, but if you buy your pet food at a national chain your almost guaranteed it's crappy food.

Purina One is good food and the Purina plant in here in OKC.

I used to feed my dog Eukanuba products, but about 6 months ago, she refused to eat dry or canned dog food. She eats what we eat now...

Sources Tell ABC News Rat Poison Has Been Found in the Contaminated Pet Food That Has Killed Scores of Animals

March 23, 2007 — ABC News has learned that investigators have determined that a rodent-killing chemical is the toxin in the tainted pet food that has killed several animals.

A source close to the investigation tells ABC News that the rodenticide, which the source says is illegal to use in the United States, was on wheat that was imported from China and used by Menu Foods in nearly 100 brands of dog and cat food.

I don't suppose it'd say what her breed is now would it?.. im gonna need another hard drive.. I've got approx 12gb of pictures of all sorts of animals from different people.. and the rest of the hard drive is filled with the windows partition which is 20gb... then the rest is like 60 gb.. which is currently filled with a bunch of other things that take up the most of it.. and so now i only got like 10 gb free on my second partition of nothingness.. just storage.. and somewhere to install all my program.. hmm.. I think i got a 4 gb hdd laying around here somewhere...

and to reply to the other post in which I didn't quote for some odd reason..

EVERYONES AGAINST THE U.S. INCLUDING CHINA! wow.. they strike by trying to kill our animals.. saddening it is..

FDA tests find chemical used to make plastics, not rat poison

WASHINGTON - Federal testing of recalled pet foods turned up a chemical used to make plastics but failed to confirm the presence of a cancer drug also used as rat poison. The recall expanded Friday to include the first dry pet food.

The Food and Drug Administration said Friday it found melamine in samples of the Menu Foods pet food involved in the original recall and in imported wheat gluten used as an ingredient in the company’s wet-style products. Cornell University scientists also found melamine in the urine of sick cats, as well as in the kidney of one cat that died after eating some of the recalled food.

Meanwhile, Hill’s Pet Nutrition recalled its Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry cat food. The food included wheat gluten from the same supplier that Menu Foods used. The recall didn’t involve any other Prescription Diet or Science Diet products, said the company, a division of Colgate-Palmolive Co.
