Many Thanks To Everyone Who Donated To February Food Drive

 

 Many Thanks to Lori and Bill Hume, Derek and Kathy Pratt, and Anna and Kyle McDonald for generously donating food in our February food drive to benefit Lucy's House for the Prevention of Homeless Pets. Jan Ellis-Clements, who runs the organization, was very appreciative of the food. I am looking forward to doing more food and/or toy drives in the future. Have a Woofderful Day!

Buy Dog Treats Made in US to Avoid Potentially Toxic Treats

One would think that after the large amount of dogs and cats that were sickened and died due to melamine contaminated pet food in 2007 pet food companies would be testing the safety of any pet food products that they sell that are made overseas. According to an article I read recently, Toxic Treats from China Killing US Dogs, Say Pet Owners by Cindy Galli, that is not the case. In the past 4 months the FDA has received 530 complaints from pet owners claiming their dogs were sickened or died after eating jerky treats made in China. Since none of the companies selling the treats or the FDA will issue a recall of any of the potentially hazardous treats it is up to pet owners to read the labels carefully on all food products and select treats made in the US.
