I have no idea if pet food is regulated in Australia (I feed my cat a combination of raw meat, chicken necks and a variety of commercially prepared wet and dry foods)and he does supplement it himself with mice, lizards and frogs (ick!) but I will certainly be investigating it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772093787065246848.post-59662107074197723762007-04-11T10:17:00.000-04:002007-04-11T10:17:00.000-04:00Julie -- thank you so much for that link.I was als...Julie -- thank you so much for that link.<BR/><BR/>I was also thinking about the local SPCAs and animal shelters -- I'm sure that they need all the help they can get right now.<BR/><BR/>JudeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772093787065246848.post-85382474972566671642007-04-10T18:56:00.000-04:002007-04-10T18:56:00.000-04:00Jude, there is an organisation in Canada that help...Jude, there is an organisation in Canada that helps people who cannot afford pet care. It's called the Farley Foundation.

So, thank you for this site and also for linking to those US sites (petconnection.com, etc.) who are excellent sources of information.<BR/><BR/>It is devastating what is going on with cats and dogs throughout North America -- so much heartbreak, so little accountability... it's shameful.<BR/><BR/>Checking out itchmo.com this morning, I came across a page where they list a number of sites who assist pet owners financially if they don't have the money to get help and treatment for their pets. I would love to contribute to such an organization in Canada -- any suggestions?<BR/><BR/>JudeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772093787065246848.post-85826749486709516602007-04-10T00:20:00.000-04:002007-04-10T00:20:00.000-04:00Basically, Julie, no one can trust any of the nati...Basically, Julie, no one can trust any of the national or international brands right now. I suggest you contact a vet's office and inquire as to the food there and purchase that only. At least until this calamity is thoroughly examined and corrected, we, as pet owners, can no longer put our trust to those brands. My cat, Michelle, is currently undergoing treatment because of the food she ate, and I'm hoping she has a few more weeks or months to live, but it's a short cry to what she would have had, had I not purchased that food to begin with. I had no idea the pet food industry wasn't regulated here in Canada, nor did I realize the "JUNK" they put in pet food, its staggering and upsetting. Let's all strive to ensure this is corrected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772093787065246848.post-72595531076757374202007-04-08T12:03:00.000-04:002007-04-08T12:03:00.000-04:00Thank you for this website.

Unfortunately I cannot seem to completely trust any of my "favourite" brands. In the past I have purchased Wellness, Innova, Solid Gold, and Merrick's among others. I wonder if anyone is familiar with a small, preferably Canadian company that makes quality products.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857689852160285399noreply@blogger.com
