Thousands of other pets in similar situations warrant extra testing for the rest of their lives. What might we expect in the future?? Is she more at risk for kidney problems? Nobody knows.

Exactly what is there to honor in having been a family affected by the recall?? I don’t get it. We’re just an ordinary family who fed our dogs a food we thought was safe. One of them suffered and died. Do they want to honor us for not paying as much attention to what we were feeding our dogs as it now is obvious we needed to?

Assist us by reimbursing us for our approximately $2,000 of vet expenses. (Nutro has said they will do that, though I am still skeptical.) Assist us by learning from your mistakes and being a *real* part of the solution. Assist us by listening to our story and helping us heal.

There is nothing honorable about what happened to us.

Ergo, definition of “PFI” = Petfood Insanity.”

OH MY GOD………I HAVE PFI.

Can I sue Menu Foods for that?

This one part says it all, when you see this type of phrase being used, you know you can save yourself some time and not even have to finish eading the piece….better yet, they could have saved themselves some time and not hae even written it!

Definition of insanity = Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

Ergo, definition of “PFI” = Petfood Insanity.

Oh please! Forget honoring dead pet families, pay their friggin’ bills! And take quality control seriously, which includes traceability, no substitutions and accurate labels.

So quit dabbin’ yer eyes like a funeral director and get your collective hind ends in gear.

Yes and the blind faith “I dunno” crowd.

Dr. _______ with the Animal Care Clinic in ______ says the food will probably never be 100 percent safe. He says we have to depend on the Food and Drug Administration’s monitoring.

Veterinary Pet Insurance

Dr. __________ says one way pet owners could prepare for large vet bills is to get Veterinary Pet Insurance. The veterinarian says a well-known pet insurance company- VPI Pet Insurance- costs an average of $50 a month.

Wow!!!! Don’t fix the food, the system. Spend money on pet health insurance for the inevitable pet food induced crisis! Who’d a thunk it!!!!!!!

It is beyond me how anybody who works in that industry, knows about the ingredients, signs off invoices (and earns their paycheck by keeping the costs down) has no idea about the melamime spiking of certain supplements.

The employees of the food manufacturer must have known what went into those nice little pouches and cans, and what got burnt to a crisp as kibble.

If these people tell me they fed their own animals with that food I become more than a bit weary.

Right. ‘Businesspeople’ comes before ‘Animal lovers’.

I need someone who prints pillow cases. With ‘Bang Head Here’ on one side. My head is starting to become almost rectangular because of all that head banging.

Within the next 30 - 45 days, Petfood Industry magazine will provide additional insight and details into the Advisory board who will assist the PFI in lobbying for immunity to lawsuits and new regulations which will no doubt cause great harm to our industry.
