This..."the fair market value of the pet"<br /><br />This makes me sick. I paid nothing for one of my dogs, and $25 for the other (the rescue I got him from reduces adoption fees on senior dogs), but clearly they're worth far more than that to *me*.

Thank you for this very important point..A...Hello,<br /><br />Thank you for this very important point..As I stated to Mr Biser in the previous comment we are all at the mercy of the producers, manufacturers and companies that make our food.<br /><br />The greatest benefit's to this tragic event was the public's desire for better notification, better dissemination of the products affected, an intense desire to understand how it happpened, hold people accountable for it AND people reminding those companies that the affected lives were family members.<br /><br />It was a loud clear message that although the law doesn't hold pet food manufacturers to stringent high standards the pet parents do.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and taking the time to mention this.<br /><br />XOXO to the pitties!!<br />Kristakrista magnifico, DVMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133566329579911573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-25575395758706411992014-04-11T07:20:15.012-07:002014-04-11T07:20:15.012-07:00Recalls are a fact of life these days. Look at wha...Recalls are a fact of life these days. Look at whats going on with automobile manufacturers. The bright side is certainly that manufacturers are being held responsible, which I believe is fueling the more promptly speaking up when they know there is a concern.<br /><br />Unless we decide to raise all of our food from start to finish we are at the mercy of the manufacturers we support AND the many producers who contribute to their products. And plain old luck.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.<br />Kristakrista magnifico, DVMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133566329579911573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667516629745731439.post-11291034716793727322014-04-10T09:25:43.362-07:002014-04-10T09:25:43.362-07:00Also know who your pet food company of choice uses...Also know who your pet food company of choice uses to do the actual manufacturing. Many, many well known and reputable companies do not own their own manufactuing facilities. That is one the reasons so many other brands ended up on the recall list after the Diamond recall. <br /><br />I recently had to change up the food for my gang and aprox. half of the brands I had short listed as possible choices were cut from the list because they either used Diamond's facilities or they did not / would not specify where their manufacturing was done.

Thankfully, the cat food used for some of my fosters "Chicken Soup for Cat Lovers ,was not affected. So, I see this as a plus for Diamond for the recall (not sure it was by choice, but I hope it was) of April 2012. UGhorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12733498740196601898noreply@blogger.com
