What To Do?

These are only the latest recalls in the last month.  2015 has not been exempt from numerous recalls and lawsuits against companies.  Everyday we are hearing about pets that become ill or die from bad foods and treats.  It gets scarier everyday!  Our pets are like family and we've always trusted those pet companies.  That's not the case anymore.

If I told you that there was a company with a 17 year track record of NO recalls, NO lawsuits and their holistic, all natural products are shipped fresh to your door being no more than 6 weeks old, would that be of interest to you?

It's true and there is such a company!!  I found them a couple years ago after having problems with food with my own dogs.  We all want what is best for our pets and I trust no other company for my pets' nutrition.

WARNING: For those feeding Kirkland's food from Costco

Complaints about Kirkland foods continue to be reported at consumer affairs.  There have been over 1100 pet food recalls since 2005! There are over 170 companies on this recall list. Pets are family members.....why take a risk and feed them a food that can make them sick. 

ATTENTION PET OWNERS!!
A family pet recently passed away a couple weeks ago at the early age of two. After having his food laboratory tested it was found the reason he passed away to be from salmonella poisoning from his dog food!! We were feeding him Kirkland's lamb and rice mixture purchased from Costco. Please stop using Kirkland's food for all cats and dogs!!

Signs to watch for with your pets are vomiting, blood in diarrhea and being very Lethargic.  

Warn your friends if they are feeding Kirkland foods.  I had my own bad experience with Kirkland foods over 1 1/2 years ago.  Both of my dogs got sick.
