I would give anything if Whiskers was still alive, no matter how high the medical bill. The pet food recall is still a hot topic in the news.
Owners Furious Over Deadly Pet Food Recall
And they still don't know why our pets died needlessly.
The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it is aware of 14 confirmed animal deaths related to a major recall over the weekend of 91 brands of pet food, but the agency is getting "lots of telephone calls" from worried consumers.
The cause of contamination is still being investigated, said Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. "We have no firm leads," he said, but suspicion remains focused on a possible contamination of wheat gluten, used to thicken gravy in the "cuts and gravy" cat and dog foods sold in pouches and cans.
I hope this money hungry corporation learns that our pets lives are valuable and that waiting to recall a tainted product isn't an option
