The FDA's Sundlof said the agency may change how it regulates the pet
food industry.

"In this case, we're going to have to look at this after the dust
settles and determine if there is something from a regulatory
standpoint that we could have done differently to prevent this incident
from occurring," he said.


Ya think?! Thanks for posting this, Alison. Sure am glad that none
of our animals were fed that stuff.



At least we can hope we haven't been! Now they've included one of the Preseciption Diets?? I've always fed a high grade dog food (and generally seen the difference), but if these companies aren't going to keep a better eye on those they contract out to make their food, I may go to making my own!
