Poisoning Pets On The Patio
Look, we here at Blue Crab Boulevard have labored long and hard to warn people about the Animal Uprising™. That does not, however, mean that we are in favor of poisoning the family pet, most of whom have not joined the animal overlord's attempt to take over the planet. So we are warning all our readers about the recall of many, many, many brands of cat and dog foods. Because there are numerous reports of pets being poisoned by the food. The manufacturer has issued a very large recall of the foods. The entire lists of dog and cat foods can be found here on the manufacturer's website.
</joking off> This is serious, folks. If you have purchased any of the listed brands of pet food, stop feeding them to your pet at once and go get something else for them. What this inadvertently shows, however, is the fact that all of these brands of pet food are essentially the same. So, have you been buying "premium" pet food for your animals instead of that store brand? Is your regular brand on the list? Feel like you've maybe been scammed a bit by clever advertising?
Just asking. Go buy something else for Fido or Fluffy right now.

Perhaps even worse is the fact that the Canadian manufacturer restricted the press release to only Canadian media outlets:

We’re feeding a dry food to our Golden. So far it’s only the wet food that puts your pet at risk. We think our cousin’s cat has kidney failure as a result of this cat food.
When we lived back east, our vet told us which supermarket “house” pet food to buy, instead of the name-brand food - way cheaper!
