re: Petslave: Did all the Nutro problems start after the buy-out by Masterfoods, or did the problems start during the recall & are still ongoing?Nutro was sold several years ago to some venture capitalists and I think that's when the problems started. They had no interest in quality food. They used cheaper ingredients to get a larger return, then sold to Masterfoods in May. Convenient and timely, huh? Every time someone called to file a complaint, they told the caller that they hadn't had any other complaints and it must be something else that caused the pet's problem. I found this the other day - it's dated March 2006.

As for WDJ, I didn't renew my subscription, but they keep sending it. The issue that come out after my dog died had an article about the dog food recall that I thought was totally inconsiderate. Maybe I was being overly sensitive, but what I got from it was that if you hadn't been feeding raw, then it was your own fault your pet is sick/dead. Now they are recommending foods based on the fact(?) that the company will tell them what they want to hear. Silly me - I always thought they actually tested and analyzed the food they recommended.
