As news reports all over the country feature local pets that have died in connection with the recalled wet food, there are still no definitive answers as to what is in the food that is making these poor little guys sick. While home at lunch today, I saw mention on a TV news teaser about rat poison being the possible culprit, but I haven't found anything online to confirm that.
We don't feed our chihuahua, Chiquita, any wet food, but the dry food we do feed her is the same brand as some of the wet food that's been recalled. Though the claims right now are that only wet food is affected, I am anxious to see what really turns out to be responsible, and whether it is a result of some kind of neglectful practice that could have the potential to affect the manufacture of dry food as well as wet. If it is due to some kind of neglect on the manufacturers' part, you can bet that we will be changing brands... because if that's the kind of practices they employ, it's only a matter of time before they do something to screw up the dry food as well.
