i believe the dogfood industry needs to be better regulated and all dogfood plants be inspected by the fda and by the state health departments where there is a dogfood plant.if dogfood companies cannot make dogfood safe for our pets then they don,t need to be in business period!i will not ever buy any pedigree products from mars inc.

What to do in the case of purchasing a recalled pet food

I think the suppliers, buyers, & manufacturers ought to be held responsible for the illness / deaths of these dogs! As consumers you buy these premium brands because you want to look out for your dog.
I can't believe these people had knowledge that the stuff was bad and allowed it to go on store shelves anyway! Why doesn't the government have heavier regulations on this stuff? They've got something to say about everything else!
