says pass it on. you seem to be ablet to print as many as you like. 4.4 lb bags.

I got a bag of the rabbit for my dog…like it, the first two nights. third night, he did run about 2 hours later and the next morning he woke me up sick, vomiting and diahrea…

if it wasn’t from the running it was from the food. What is the deal here? Last year the problem wasn’t deadly just caused vomiting and diahrea. great I have 6 bags of the stuff.

guess it has to go. also pc pantry in boulder said NV sold to new owner and she stopped carrying it first of this year. not a good sign. what do I do with these bags of dog and cat. trash I guess.

And, a couple months after my inquiry, one of my clients and friends had to make a switch because her dog was throwing up post-meal every time. After being on his food for 3 years. But she wasn’t going to trust it anymore.

It’s food! It shouldn’t be this difficult! Why do we do this over and over. With the people stuff too. It’s common sense.

I’d be glad to answer questions—or even get answers directly from the formulating holistic vet! I can talk to her on the phone (as can my customers!).

Christie—I know you didn’t ask for treat suggestions, but I’ve had multiple dog success with dehydrated turkey dogs. (We have an organic turkey farm nearby.) They get all deliciously chewy and jerky-like—and they’re not bad to snack on for us humans either. I could be forgetting one of Kyrie’s restrictions, though.

IMO, the FDA spends too much energy creating “allowable levels”, and too little energy preventing contaminants from entering the food supply for pets and humans.

The following from FDA excludes infant formula, but limits melamine (and related compounds) to “below 2.5 ppm” in other food:

In The Constitution, there are certain rights assigned to the federal gov’t and every thing else is assigned to the states. One of the federal rights is to govern interstate commerce, which is why you see the restriction pertain only to shipping across state lines. Generally, neither the FDA nor the federal gov’t have any power whatsoever pertaining to products produced in one state and sold in the same state. You may think this is wrong and needs to be changed, but it’s the law, like it or not.

A good example of this is the national speed limit. In fact there is no national speed limit because the federal gov’t cannot mandate this. The one exception is for “interstate” highways upon which interstate commerce is transacted, therefore they have jurisdiction.
(There was a so called national speed limit for some time, but it was not the law. The fed gov’t just withheld highway funds to states that did not have a speed limit, so they got their way).

The one exception to this rule is if the regulation serves an “abiding national security interest”. Infant formula qualifies for some reason, since it is strictly regulated by the FDA. I guess pet food (and human food) does not.
