More Pet Food Problems

[blonde one]

I have been feeding my dogs Ultra Dog and they really enjoy it. As my dogs are working dogs and are extremely active I had them on Vet's Choice Superior which kept them in tip top condition. The change over to Ultra Dog has not affected their condition in the least and it has the added bonus of being quite a bit cheaper than the Vet's choice food.

Costs for such safety checks are expected to soar, especially as it would take time for the country to build up reliable nationwide quality controls.

Amazing that safety checks were never in place to start with.

Gery good point Aphrael - it is surprising, especially since they market it as based on research.

The last line of that article sums it up -

"When you have traceability, you can then have accountability. I think this is what China lacks."

Presumably they are referring to a potentially ever-expanding list of tests that would have to be carried out.

Yeah, and essentially they should replace their market hype with warnings if they can't afford to test what they sell!!!

Here's a start tho':
