Dog food is poisoned.

This is not a brand that I use but since a lot of people here are dog lovers and have dogs thought I would mention it.

I trust Purina. Have 33 years worth of healthy happy dogs.

I used to pull thousands of bags of that stuff off of 18-wheelers when I was forklift operator in college. Diamond was one of our biggest sellers.

Yes, I've heard good things about Purina.

I use Nutro, though.

I love my dog even though she's too smart and needs more of my time than I think I have to give her.

Right now she's in a time out because she ate my omelette while my back was turned.

That sounds just like our PGBY, love's to get things off the table. His favorite is lettuce.

wow that sucks.

I use Eukenuba (spelling?). But the dog gets a whole lot more treats and stuff... heh.. what a spoiled dog lol.

Well at least it sounds like the company is taking responsibility and stuff. I just feel sorry for those who lost their pets. Damn that would suck huge @ss...

Actually most of our dogs just love salad fixings. There are johnny on the spot while she cooks.

My dogs eat AFFINITY ADVANCE, but nevertheless this is not fair… the article says The FDA said some of the recalled product had been exported to at least 29 countries, including several in the European Union. Those countries have been notified, the agency said why aren't any news on my country's tv about this? If it was about some bad McDonald's burguers / Coke / mineral water even in another country I am sure I would hear about it !

loki74, it is Eukanuba my dogs used to like it while they were under six months old, now they really like the AFFINITY ADVANCE better.

I actually feed my dogs different things.

I'm thinking of buying Flint River dog food, to be honest. I heard it's the best.

Dogs eat their own feces, I don't think they care what their food tastes like.

All of our Breeders have recommended Purina. That is over the last 33 years.
