No more outsourcing or mystery suppliers. US Company, US owned manufacturing plant of that company, US products only. We are looking to upgrade from Nutro Natural Lamb and Rice Dry. We do not want a product made of beef, wheat, or corn. Any suggestions? We will no longer be feeding canned food to our dogs but will feed human grade chicken and a mixture of vegetables - non-corn.

If you belong to this organization, please write to the moderators of the group, urging them to place a notice to all the members about the pet food recall. I did just this after I heard about the recall and my cat became ill. The moderators posted a notice to all members of my local group. If pet connections has a Public Service Announcement to offer please contact our radio station.

I also just called a close friend with a guide dog and a cat. I offered help reading labels to her. Senior citizens or anyone with helper dogs could probably use similar assistance. Is there a blog started yet for how we can reach out? I'd like to get other suggestions. I’ve passed on the suggestion of food or monetary donations to a group I moderate.
