This is such an important message and one you rarely hear on the news. I get alerts all the time from Dogfoodadvisor.com on the poison that's coming from China in our pets products. China places little value on human life. Do you really think they care about what they put in our pet products?

I'm reposting my reply to the original thread.

Right after this list came out I printed the article and took it with me to Petsmart. They had Canyon Creek and Milo's Kitchen on sale. I asked to speak to the manager and showed her the article. She said she had heard about it but there wasn't any recall by the companies so they continue to sell it. I was furious. Petsmart knows about this and wants to make sure they clear their shelves and get every penny out of the products just in case there is a recall and they have to pull the products. Everything on the OP list is still being sold. Here is the article I printed up.

These products are still being sold.

The best thing I ever did was join Dogfoodadvisor.com. The minute a product has been recalled or if a warning has been issued about a product, they send an email alert which I have set to come right to my phone also.

Here's a list of the latest recalled products. Most of the time you never hear about any of these recalls.
