All I can say after reading this article about the pet food recall is that I'm hugging one dog and three cats a little more closely this night. I don't feed any of the affected brands; but really this is just a wake-up call. Anything can be contaminated or diseased. I am blessed to have animals who have so far refused food that has gone bad. Good kitties! My policy is always to trust them: if they turn away from it, there is probably a good reason. Must remember always to pray before feeding them. I ask blessing on my own food. Why not on theirs?

I'm so thankful that I've been insistent that my mom feed her animals high quality brands, as those brands are nowhere near being affected by the recall.
Uber-high quality brands like Wellness/Innova/prescriptionSD are not going to be produced at a huge manufacturing plant like that. Yes mistakes happen, but if it had happened at a private manufacturing plant that a company like Wellness would contract, we would not be facing the 50 brands of dog food and 40 brands of cat food being pulled off the shelves right now. It would be more contained.
(the reason I said that the higher quality brands are nowhere near being affected by this recall is because they do not have their products manufactured at the huge plant that almost everyone else seems to be using)
There is a risk in anything-- in feeding raw meat, in feeding human grade kibble, but IMHO, less of a risk than if one were to feed feed grade kibbles.
