Then pet owners have the concern of the FDA’s limited ability to properly inspect all imported shipments of pet food ingredients. Currently less than 1% of all import shipments are inspected. Even if the FDA had the manpower to properly inspect all imports, existing testing methods have proven they are weak at best. According to journalist Noreen O’Leary in her article The Global Diet a former FDA employee states “The FDA kept finding shipments of apple juice that was watered down" and insisted this be addressed, explains Hubbard. Instead, the company "added inulin, which is a chemical compound that appears to be the same as apples. It fooled the FDA lab test and came back as 100 percent apple juice." Under the current system that beverage could still be labeled and sold as 100 percent juice, he adds.” This was in reference to a Chinese exporter.
Until many changes take place, pet foods utilizing imported ingredients from China remains at risk for another tainted ingredient causing a recall. The pet food industry could take a lesson from McDonalds or Walmart. This year McDonalds implemented a "See what we're made of" initiative that provides consumers with origin information of their ingredients. Walmart has introduced a Food Miles Calculator, which computes an item's total food miles to the consumer. I doubt pet owners will see any such conscientious action from the majority of pet food manufacturers.

Now that I have you thinking about imports, I have a pole question this month. Results will be reported in the August Newsletter. If you were shopping for a pet food or treat, and the manufacturer provided a ‘Food Miles Calculator’ or a ‘See what we’re made of’ program on their website; some type of program that would provide you with detailed information on where ingredients came from…would that influence your decision to purchase this product? Let’s say that the ingredients in this bag or can of pet food are very similar to what you are feeding now…would an ingredient information program influence you to change foods? Please respond in the pole below…
ASPCA Pet Poison Alert: Cocoa Bean mulch can be toxic to dogs.
The ASPCS has posted a notice regarding a mulch that can be toxic to dogs if consumed. You’ve heard the saying ‘build it and they will come’ well, with pets…’if it’s possible, they will eat it’. I can’t tell you why, but some dogs (and some cats) will eat just about anything given the opportunity. If your dog or cat has access to mulched areas of the yard – make sure the product is pet safe if consumed. House cleaning products, lawn fertilizers and pest control, and on and on – all of these products can be a threat to your pet’s health. Look for natural, non-toxic….everything!

Pets, pet food manufacturers, and pet food suppliers give us signs
Not to sound too ‘out there’ but I’m a big believer that pet food manufacturers and our pets show us ‘signs’. The point being to urge you to always be aware of the signs presented to you with your pets and the products they consume.
Earlier in the year there were reports of pets becoming sick from Nutro pet foods. Again this month (June 2008) Consumer Affairs website published a lengthy article reporting on sick pets eating Nutro Pet Food. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008/06/pet_food_recalls98.html
Nutro’s response earlier in the year – as reported by a pet owner – was ‘perhaps the food was contaminated in shipment or distribution warehousing’. And the recent article from ConsumerAffairs.com website (link above) shows not much more of an interest from Nutro to take responsibility. The article does however make an interesting point how various Nutro products were suddenly missing from store shelves. Nutro’s response to one pet owner was “He stated that no recall was in effect, and Nutro just happened to shut down a few plants producing what he termed 'not as tasty food,' and the 'quality' was not up to par." Yet another pet owner was told “the reason the food was not on the shelves was because the company that made the bags had a machine break, and the company ran out of chicken. But I was feeding lamb and rice." As of today (June 23, 2008) the Nutro website makes no mention of pulled products or complaints of sick pets. There’s a sign.
Contrary to Nutro, Timberwolf Pet Foods recently pulled several products from store shelves – publicly – because of pet owner complaints. Timberwolf posted a brief report on their website regarding the complaints of pet owners, listed the symptoms of ill pets, listed the ‘best by’ dates of effected products, and encourages pet owners to contact them if there is a problem. There’s a different sign.
Another sign I’ve noticed in the last year or so, some pet food manufacturers boldly tell me they use human grade/quality meat. Yet when you look at the ingredients of their pet foods, you notice ‘by-products’. By AAFCO definition, by-products are not considered suitable for human consumption. I guess they could be…if you consider chicken feet, intestines, or spleens human food. But by definition of by-products and by-product meals, when a pet food manufacturer states by-products are human grade, they are greatly stretching the truth. Another sign.
There is not any pet food company that can assure you no problems will ever arise from suppliers, manufacturing, or storage of their pet foods. But they do provide us with signs of their level of integrity. How a company handles a problem tells us a great deal. You can try to cover it up or stick your head in the sand, thinking more of profits than the well being of your customers; similar to the case with the recent alleged Petco Distribution contamination problem. Or you can face a problem head on, knowing it might hurt profits but it’s the right thing to do. Whether it’s a pet food brand or it’s a pet food supplier – they show us signs. Signs of what is important to them – profits or our pets.
Our pets can show us signs as well. Back when I owned my kennel, people trusted me to care for their pets while they were on vacation. They had no idea whether their pets were treated lovingly or if they were just left in their rooms to wait out their stay with me. The pets can’t talk – so no one was gonna rat me out if I didn’t do as I had promised. However, even though the pets didn’t talk ‘words’ to their owners about their treatment - they still ‘talked’ and showed their owners signs. I had scratch marks on the outside of the door to my kennel (scratching to get in), and daily I witnessed dogs dragging their owners across the parking lot to get inside. One dog even jumped out the car window as the owner was pulling in the driveway and while mom was parking the car, the dog was adding to the scratch marks on the front door - he couldn't wait to come inside!
Our pets show us signs in their behavior, their water consumption, their eating habits, and activity levels. Start today to take note of ‘normal’ behavior for your pet. How many times they eliminate each day (#1 and #2), normal amounts of food eaten each day, normal behaviors, and normal activity. As an example my almost fourteen year old German Shepherd Gunner has been somewhat of a food hound his entire life. Kirby my three year old Papillion on the other hand misses meals all the time. Typically he’ll miss breakfast and eagerly eat dinner or vice versa. That is ‘normal’ behavior for both dogs. Also both boys HAVE TO go out immediately after each meal – or its trouble. I know that if Gunner misses meals – he doesn’t feel good. I know that if either dog doesn’t want to go out right after a meal – something’s up. My cat on the other hand likes to have an audience for eating. Every single time I walk into the kitchen, he’s following me and runs to his bowl so I can watch him eat a few bites. I know what is normal for my pets and any variation of normal behavior would be a sign for me to take notice of. Those signs could be just a bad day, or they could be the start of an illness I can hopefully address quickly.
And lastly your pet food will provide you signs. Examine every bag or can before you open it. You are looking for tears or possible contamination of the packaging. Examine the product after you open it. Any change in smell or appearance just might be a sign there is a problem with the food. If you notice any change - before you feed it to your pet, call the manufacturer.
As caring and concerned pet parents, we must look for signs everywhere. Busy lifestyles and I think the trusting nature of pet owners we often don’t take the time to notice the signs until far too late. My father used to have a saying of ‘20/20 hindsight’. Meaning after the fact, the mistake or signs leading to the mistake are perfectly clear. I hope to nudge you to start looking for signs before they become hindsight.
Gratitude…
She is pregnant; he had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire. When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest. A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman. He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do. As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies and kissed him just as the photographer snapped this photograph.
You'll notice that she didn't care if he was dirty, she didn't care if he smelled like burnt wood, she only knew this man saved her life and she thanked him from her heart the best way she could.

Proheart 6
Our friends at the FDA recently approved the re-release of a heartworm preventative called Proheart 6. This product was pulled from the market several years ago because of “adverse events”. ‘Adverse events’ meant death to dogs according to various websites from pet owners and veterinarians. I have also received a confidential warning from an industry insider regarding this product. If you are considering this product…PLEASE do a little research first. Here are several links – including a FDA page with a “Risk minimization action plan” from Fort Dodge the drug manufacturer…

Good vs. Ugly Pet Food Ingredients
An email I received recently reminded me that there is confusion to understanding some common pet food ingredients. Understandably so – I’ve been studying this stuff for years, have the AAFCO manual, and it still boggles my mind too. While the following might be a ‘repeat’ for many of the long standing subscribers to this newsletter, it will hopefully be valuable to most of you. There are literally hundreds of different pet food ingredients, I’m just going over a few of the typical top five meat (or implied to be meat) ingredients. In quote marks “ ” is the AAFCO definition, followed by my interpretation of the ingredient definition.
Chicken Meal or Turkey Meal (or similar): “is the dry rendered product from a combination of clean flesh and skin with or without accompanying bone…exclusive of feathers, heads, feet, and entrails.” Interpretation: basically a chicken meal is chicken meat with the moisture removed. Most consider a chicken meal (or similar) to be the best protein source for pets because the moisture of the meat is removed prior to cooking the pet food. All meats contain a great deal of water – reports from 40% to 70% moisture. If chicken meal was listed as the first ingredient on a pet food label the pet is provided with all protein – versus if ‘chicken’ was listed as the first ingredient, at least 40% of the heaviest ingredient of the food would be water not protein.
Chicken or Turkey (or any other specific type of animal meat): “is the clean combination of flesh and skin with or without accompanying bone,…exclusive of feathers, heads, feet and entrails.” Interpretation: you can consider this ingredient to be meat.
Chicken by-products, Beef by-products, or similar: “is the non-rendered clean parts, other than meat, derived from slaughtered mammals. It includes, but is not limited to, lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, livers, blood, bone, stomachs and intestines freed of their contents.” Interpretation: this common pet food ingredient is not meat. It is basically left over parts of animals not suitable for human consumption.
Chicken by-product meal, turkey by-product meal, or similar: “consists of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered poultry, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs, and intestines…” Interpretation: Not meat. Very similar to by-products except a by-product meal means left-over animal parts are cooked to remove moisture.
Meat Meal: “is the rendered product from mammal tissues exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents…” Interpretation: Not meat. This ingredient is a step worse than a by-product meal, but again similar. Left over animal parts from the processing of human food and rendered to remove moisture.
Meat and Bone Meal: “is the rendered product from mammal tissues, including bone, exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents…” Interpretation: Not meat. Similar to ‘meat meal’ except the added bone.
One last note on pet food ingredients…none of these ingredients are guaranteed to be of a human grade/quality of meat. Obviously by reading the definition of by-products and the other comparable ingredients, you realize they are not exactly human grade. But with regards to chicken meal or chicken, just because the ingredient definition reads similar to the definition of a human selection of meat – that is not guaranteed with pet food meats. A animal that was rejected for use as human food because of disease or drug contamination (or any other reason) – is considered suitable for use in pet food according to existing regulations. These rejected animals come from a USDA meat processing facility – they are rejected from the USDA facility. The only way to know for sure if the meat ingredient in your pet’s food is of a human grade/quality is to call the manufacturer and ask.
You be the judge…
Pet food manufacturers never cease to amaze me. Some seem to pull out all the advertising stops to promote their products. Two pet food lines – Alpo and Pedigree – have begun advertising campaigns that make mention – no, it’s more than make mention – it’s advertising campaigns capitalizing on growing pet owner awareness that pets want and need real meat.
Pedigree has just started a television commercial campaign showing a little dog jumping in the air again and again – implying the dog is jumping and active due to the quality protein received from Pedigree Dog Foods. So…you be the judge…here are the first five ingredients in Pedigree with Lamb & Rice Dry Dog Food…what do you think?
Ground Whole Corn, Chicken By-Product Meal, Ground Wheat, Meat And Bone Meal, Animal Fat (Preserved With BHA/BHT).
Alpo has gone Pedigree one better, with a new campaign that will provide one U.S. dog the privilege similar to the famous athletes whose mugs were featured on the box of Wheaties cereal. With Alpo, the mug on the pet food label will be the dog whose owner submits the winning video of the “Ultimate Meat Maniac!” Judged by The View host Jay Behar, Alpo’s search is to find “the biggest meat maniac in America – the lovable, everyday dog who has the most entertaining and memorable way of showing his excitement when dinner is served.” The winner will be the “new face of the iconic dog food brand, appearing on millions of Alpo cans and in national print advertising.”
You be the judge again, here are the first five ingredients in Alpo Hearty Classics with Chicken Canned Dog Food…what do you think?
Poultry Broth, Chicken, Meat By-Products, Poultry By-Products, Soy Flour.
One of my WONDERFUL newsletter subscribers a year or so ago sent me a message of a little test he performed. It seems he was not a believer that his dog could really tell a difference between a true premium brand (human grade meats and lots of ‘em) of dog food versus a brand that just says it's premium. So, he set up a little taste test. On the kitchen floor he set out two bowls of dog food – one being a high quality premium brand and the other being a lesser quality dog food. His dog was blindfolded – no, just kidding; the dog was then allowed to go to either bowl of food. Every single time the dog went to the high quality bowl. He tried the test several times, switching the bowls around, and used the neighbor dogs too. The results were always the same…every time the ‘subject’ dog went to the high quality bowl to eat.
Some pet food manufacturers go to great lengths to produce high quality pet foods, and some pet food manufacturers go to great lengths to produce high quality marketing. Don't assume anything from advertising. Look at the ingredient list, learn if the food contains a human grade/quality of meat or lesser, and learn if the food contains imports (just for starters). Regardless whether you own a dog or cat or both – your pet knows the difference between a quality meat protein pet food versus a by-product and grain protein pet food. And they will ‘do the dance’ for premium for sure. More telling than the dance our pets do at mealtime is the vet records. I have received countless emails from pet owners who have switched their pets to a high quality food reporting almost unbelievable changes seen in their pets. And vets have noticed it too. Each month in the newsletter I would like to share one of the many emails I receive from pet owners regarding the improvement in health of their pet from receiving quality nutrition. Below you will read a recent email I’ve received from a pet owner in North Carolina…
Meet Bella and read her story...
Hi Susan,
In June I got the probiotic that you recommended and Bella has been getting it everyday. After I heard you on Allen's show (101.1 in N.C.) the first time I changed Bella's diet from XXXXX to XXXXX made by XXXXX. Then in June I started her on the new Probiotic you recommended.
Here is a little history on Bella (3 year old Maine Coon Cat). On 3/15/08 I had a shower insert put in my master bathroom shower. The person who installed the shower left 2 leaks inside the wall between the bathroom shower and the bedroom. The upshot is that the leak continued until I found mold growing on the baseboard in my bedroom. Bella spends her time in that room when I am at work and her favorite toy was against that moldy baseboard. The day after discovering the mold (4/26/08) I read an article in I Love Cats re black mold toxin killing 2 cats in Florida. The leak started on 3/15 but I am not sure how long the mold was there before I discovered it. I did some research, found a lab in Dallas Tx. who tested for mold toxins and had Bella tested. She was positive for 2 different toxins. The lab recommended some blood work which my vet did. At least one of the Toxins Bella has can do bad damage to the liver (cirrhosis, cancer, etc) so liver function tests were among the tests done. Bella's blood work was all completely normal. She has been started on Itraconazole to treat for the 2 toxins. It is supposed to kill any mold in Bella and flush the toxin from her body. After a month she will be retested. If the toxin is gone all is well. If the test is still positive she gets another month of the itraconazole. I am praying that the toxin will be gone. All the mold is gone from my home and the leaks have been fixed. Bella has the toxins but the results for both toxins was at the low end of the detectable range. Any toxin is bad but less is better than more.
I told you the above info re Bella for a reason. Bella seems to feel wonderful and the fact that her vet exam and blood work was 100% normal substantiates that. The toxin was present in her urine sent to the Dallas lab. That is the only negative up to this point. She is eating good and begging for more food, taking her medicine like its manna from heaven and is a very playful and happy cat.
I have been thinking about all of this. The probiotic you recommended also has a goodly amount of antioxidant in it. The antioxidant is suppose to help flush impurities out of the body and particularly the liver and in the case of this mold the liver is the biggest concern. The XXXXX dry cat food also contain probiotics. I feel that the fact that I changed Bella's diet to one that is healthy for her is a big factor in her being able to fight off damage to her body that could have been caused by the toxins.
That brings me to the purpose of this email. If I had not heard you on Allen's show Bella would still be eating the XXXXX foods. I strongly feel that Bella has done so well so far because of the advice I got from you regarding good nutrition for her. Bella is my family and is very important to me. I want us to spend many many years together. Bella and I both thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Have a great day.
Mary S
North Carolina
For any that are interested, the probiotic that I recommended to Mary for Bella can be found at www.mightymicrobes.com. I met the owner of this company probably a year ago and was very impressed with this product. It's for human and pet use.
If you have a story to share regarding improved health you feel is due to a change to a healthier pet food - please send it to me. If you have vet records that prove the health changes - that would be terrific. These true stories give newcomers to this website encouragement. We are up against millions of dollars spent on advertising gimics - your true stories help spread the 'truth' greatly. I do not want to bash or promote any company - just the real facts of improved health you and/or your vet have noticed in your pet.
Truth Blogging
I’ve had the Truth About Pet Food Blog up for several months, but to be honest with you, I really didn’t understand what it’s all about. I was told that a blog would be another means for me to help pet owners learn about pet food and that it would be a way for pet owners to interact. To help improve the blog and to try NOT to overload your email box – I’m going to be posting daily news and/or events on the blog instead of all the emails. You will still receive any and all IMPORTANT warnings and updates via email, and this newsletter via email – but for the day to day stuff, that will be posted on the blog. There WILL be info on the blog for you to learn from – and it is a means for you to share your experience or knowledge with other pet owners too. Click Here to go to the Truth About Pet Food Blog.

This pet food contains several quality animal protein sources (ocean fish, chicken, chicken liver, shrimp, fish meal) - variety of quality animal protein source is good. Contains Flax Seed - quality ingredient.
Minus: This food does not appear to contain probiotics (friendly bacteria that benefits the intestinal system and in turn the immune system of the pet). Most canned pet foods do not contain probiotics. The lining of the pet food can contains BPA.
Rating: 
Rating Note: The highest rating for a canned pet food is 4 paw prints – due to high moisture content of all canned pet foods.
For more information on Blue Buffalo visit www.BlueBuff.com
To explain the rating – only the first five ingredients – the majority of the food – are rated and listed in bold type. Grey Font ingredients imply inferior quality ingredients providing pets little to no nutrition, and Red Font ingredients are Red Flag ingredients that are potentially dangerous to pets. Quality ingredients are listed in bold black font. Five quality ingredients gives the pet food a five Paw Print rating. Four quality ingredients gives the pet food a four Paw Print rating, and so forth. Four Paw Prints is the highest rating possible for a canned pet food.

Regarding a plan to help no-kill animal shelters and rescue groups, thanks to your input I have come up with a beginning plan. For any shelter or rescue group that is interested, I will do a conference call for your supporters, providing some personal pet food education and answer as many questions as time allows. Briefly, the shelter sends out the invitations (hopefully you have an email list), you can charge an admission for the call or ask for donations (that part is left up to you), I’ll provide an hour or so pet food education and then answer questions. My intentions soon are to travel to various parts of the country to speak and help educate. For the ‘truth’ supporters in North Carolina, I have contacted the Southern Ideal Home Show folks asking them to consider me to speak at the Fall Show. I would like for speaking events to benefit no-kill shelters and rescue groups, but I think Home Shows would be a great venue for pet food education. Anyone in NC that wants to contact Southern Ideal Home Show to help nudge them to consider a pet food education event – here is the link to their contact page: http://www.southernshows.com/hfr/index.php?show_contact=1&form_id=77& Or if you have other suggestions for an area Home Show or similar - send 'em to me.
Plans are to build a webpage to explain the no-kill shelter/rescue group conference call plan in more detail – but in the meantime, if you are affiliated with a No-Kill Shelter or Rescue Group and would like to use a pet food education telephone seminar as a fund raiser for your organization – email me at Susan@TruthAboutPetFood.com.
For those that have not read Redemption by Nation Winograd - below is part of a newsletter from the No Kill Advocacy Center - and why I want to help only No Kill Shelters and Rescue Groups...This excerpt is regarding the differences between two shelters in Texas and Nevada...
Austin's effort was led by the ASPCA and involved two shelters: the Town Lake Animal Center and the Austin Humane Society. Reno's competing effort followed the no-kill sheltering model of the No Kill Advocacy Center...
At the one-year mark of the two cities' efforts, the results are remarkable:
- In Austin, one year of implementation of the ASPCA's "Mission: Orange" project did not improve the outlook for Austin's homeless animals: Austin's shelters killed over 1,300 more animals in 2007 than in 2006, and adopted out 332 fewer animals in 2007 than in 2006.
- In Reno, one year of implementation of the No Kill Advocacy Center's model dramatically improved the outlook for Reno's homeless animals: Reno's shelters killed more than 2,700 fewer animals in 2007 than in 2006, and adopted out over 2,800 more animals in 2007 than in 2006.

Wishing you and your pet(s) the best!
