After more than a month of pet food recalls, the list is still growing. If you've begun cooking for your dog, you are not alone!
It seems that it just won't go away! After more than a month of pet food recalls, the list is still growing. This time, it's a natural pet food company and a different ingredient. Previously wheat gluten was determined as the source of melamine contamination but this company says they do not use wheat gluten. This company stated that recent laboratory tests showed that some of their foods contained melamine and they believe the source is rice protein concentrate which they recently added to the recipe. They are recalling canned, bagged, and dry dog and cat foods. How did melamine get into another ingredient? Where will it all end? How can one feel safe buying commercial foods when the mystery has gone on for this long and seems no closer to being solved? Too many unanswered questions. If you've begun cooking for your dog, you are not alone! Many pet owners are cooking for their pets. When my dogs ran out of the food I knew to be safe, I started cooking human groceries like chicken livers, salmon, vegetables, noodles, brown rice, cottage cheese, oatmeal, and scrambled eggs with whole wheat toast for them. I'm prepared to do it as long I have to keep them safe. I vary their diet to make sure they get the nutrients they need. They love it and may be too spoiled to go back to kibble when this whole mess is over.
