Premium foods may still be premium foods, reading the press release by the company (Fund) in question they say they make their own and sell it for repackaging but they also make food to contract for other companies.

My only concern with feeding raw chicken is there is always the possibility of steroids being present plus antibiotics and other garbage we don't want. FWIW my brother had an issue almost a year ago, they are feeding their dog a food available ONLY through a vet, my brothers wife and dog both got ecoli from the dog food. I guess what I'm saying is, no matter how hard you we try to do the right thing for our pets there is always a risk of something going wrong.

I purchased some cat food about a month back and immediately my cat vomitted. I held onto the receipt and tried feeding him the same food a couple days later, and then a couple days later. He has done this before, however not as frequent and usually because he ate too much at once. I took it back shortly there after claiming there was something wrong with it - as he was able to digest another type of food without issue.. This recall does not surprise me! I hope all your canines and felines are ok!

That is why i pay top dollar for our little pooch and he also recieves fresh chicken breast along with cook lean ground beef. he gets that stuff we eat. only the best for our FRODO Baggins....


even if he only hits the scale at a whooping 5 lbs with no man parts and alot of attitude....

Whether you buy it direct from the seller or retail from Costco/Safeway etc. those same things are likely to be in any retail meat/chicken. That is why they go to the Hutterite colony for organic. I am going to go that route for my pooches this spring when they do another cull.
