   It's that, and it's poor oversight I think.. did you see today they had a   
   second recall of chicken jerky treats for dogs in as many weeks?   
      
   That to me is sickening.

   I dunno.. older dogs and younger (puppies) certainly can die from some of   
   these products that are recalled in the food market.  And who knows if those   
   "glow-in-dark" bowls are safe.. won't know until somebody's pet dies :(   
      
   I have a feeling as companies try to cut corners, we're going to see plenty of   
   this kind of thing :(   
      
   I saw an ad on TV tonight for a company that had it's dog food recalled.. or   
   it sure LOOKED like the same company... remember the Diamond Dog Food that was   
   recalled a few times?  This ad I saw tonight used the same logo but a differnt   
   company name.. yeah sure.. bet that's a whole different company    
      
   I read somewhere (not on the web, it was a dog training book) that the best   
   food for your pets was 1lb cooked meat, and a couple of cups of rice.. who   
   knows if that's true though.. :(   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
