My Furrever After

:( It's NEVER going to end ):

PLEASE click on the link below, READ the whole thing & do what you will with the information. Susan Thixton owner of "Truth about Pet Food" states this is one of the most shocking reports she's ever seen. It applies to both cat & dog food, both wet & dry. :(
Heavy Metals found in pet food in ALARMING amounts

My apologies for the late thank you's

1st *glares at mom* let me start out by saying a general THANK YOU for all of my birthday wishes, condolences on my Bridge anniversary & congratulations on my 2 yr wedding anniversary. Mom's excuse is that we had too many April birthdays (mine on the 3rd, Zippie's on the 15th, Pawlette's on the 20th, Lolly's on the 29th & Midnight's on the 30th) +my bridge anniversary on the 28th & my wedding anniversary one May 3rd. *rolls eyes* whatever mom it's NO excuse, just BAD manners!
Please know that we will ALL be sending out our thank you's one by one as it should be. (Except Zippie who already got to). Much love to all my my treasured furriends, & my handsome loving husband! I truly have NOT forgotten you

Purrhaps the most important diary I'll ever paw!

This is about food; what you put in your body for energy, for fuel, to live! Many of you know that I was one of thousands of pets that died while thousands of others were made sick due to the "precautionary" recall of some varieties of wet pet foods; yada yada yada! The date that was issued was March 16th, 2007. But this isn't about me & it isn't about that recall.

This diary entry is about YOU!

On April 21st, 2009 THIS was made public.
Nutro venomently denied these rumors

On May 21st, 2009 THIS was made public.

Yesterday June 3rd, 2009 THIS was released by Consumer Affairs.com. The ones that tried to warn everyone 6 weeks ago. If you'll follow the links from there you will see what many of us have known in our hearts for a very long time; that this has never ended!

It has been an ongoing battle dating back to BEFORE the recall of 2007. It does not only pertain to cat food; in fact the majority of the complaints between the 07 recall & the 09 recall are dog related

This needs to stop! Your caretakers need to stop buying Nutro products of all types! Not just the ones on the list! Although I was not killed by Nutro, I was killed by a food not on the list till April 5th, 2007; a food I had been fed almost exclusivley since March 16th, 2007 because Menu Foods GUARANTEED my mommy that "anything not on the recall list is ok to feed your pet"
Guess what? THEY LIED! THEY broke my mommy's heart!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't let THEM break your mommy's heart!

I'm going to turn this over to my mommy now!

Hi T C's mommy Rachel here. I have found myself wondering more & more about all of the babies going to the bridge lately. So many sudden cases of Pancreatitus, Thyroid problems, heart attacks, all of the sarcoma's in previously healthy babies. How much of it is food related?

I am in no way advocating a raw diet, or the top shelf foods. In fact I think it is WRONG on so many levels to pay more for food that is less likely to kill my babies! The fact it is packaged as FOOD is in my opinion all that should be required for me to feel safe feeding it to any pet.
Is what I have found out the hard way is that, Knowledge IS Power!!
Please research at least the track record of the manufacturer making your pets food! Granted it isn't a guarantee; but it is a place to start.
I recently told a friend of mine that I would rather feed my babies empty calories; containing minimal nutrition (including table scraps) than to take a chance feeding them Nutro anything (even if they've "never had a problem").
If I can keep even one fur baby from eating the poison this company continues to put on the shelves; &/or save even one parent from the heartache & suffering I have known, then my job is done.

PLEASE DO NOT FEED YOUR BABY ANYTHING MADE BY NUTRO; INCLUDING GREENIES!!! THE NEXT BABY TO DIE MAY BE YOUR OWN
