Recalls shouldn't happen if the manufactures who made the dog food actually researched and checked up on what they were putting into the food BEFORE it got sent out we shouldn't have to worry about any diseases or dangers in dog food if we knew who created it actually cared about the animals that would be eating it!Thanks Dog Channel for warning us about all the recalls!

This is horrible! The FDA should be keeping up with this stuff and finding it before the manufactuers ship it out. They obviously are not doing their job. We need to make better regulations for animal and human food.
