It is difficult to find non-toxic treats. I have been amazed in talking with other cat parents or reading comments from some on other sites, how many of them are not very concerned about cats vomiting other than the inconvenient mess , believing it is almost expected or results just from eating too much, too fast occasionally true. As with frequent hairballs, many even laugh it off, since so many cats have this problem.
I have discussed all my research about lousy noxious pet food with one woman that I know—yet, she still persists in feeding the cheapest store brand dry food available. She claims to love her cat, but will make no changes in his diet, at all.
These facts are truly troublesome! I have had a lot of luck with Earthborn treats, specifically the oven baked treats. Low calorie, good and accessible protein. Or I cook foods and use small bits as treats. Allergies have disappeared, fat dogs have lost some weight and they are well and healthy.

Thank you for all you do to protect our well loved pets. Is prescription diet UR included in this as well? I had to take my cat Dandi to vet today. She was on this prescription diet for over a month because of the stones in her bladder. She started vomiting 4 days ago, very lethargic too. She is ok now, but I still worry! But if any pet is sick — and the owner believes it is related to a food — it is of vital importance to report it to FDA and to State officials.
Within the last week, Facebook was ablaze with a story about a poor woman who lost her cat within hours after he ate Purina One Indoor Cat Formula. She did not know at first, that, as you say, FDA does not take action unless they themselves receive a complaint from a consumer whose pet was harmed by a pet food. With that story, and your always helpful advice, people are being made aware of the situation. I will be sharing this article.

Thanks, Susan. She fed it to all her dogs and they all got serious diarrhea.

Nothing else was out of the ordinary except for feeding this new brand of food. I had used the brand too before I knew better from this website, and the kibble is well known for easy digestion and excellent stools, so this symptom was quite unusual. But unfortunately had transferred it into a container and forgot to save the bag.
Once she stopped feeding the food the dogs all returned to normal. Please everyone, save your bag even if you transfer it into a container. I really think that most consumers are pretty much clueless about how to report an illness that their pet has experienced when they suspect it was food related. For the most part the vet is not going to direct them to the FDA so how would the pet owner know what to do unless they have some other experience with the FDA? If they call the pet food company they will get a huge run around.
Human physicians are trained to report a food related illness but it seems our veterinarians are trained not to report food related illnesses. Is this because they honestly do not recognize a food induced illness or is there a more sinister reason for their not at least directing their client to report the problem to the FDA? According to this article people are going to consumer related websites to report problems rather than contacting the FDA.
The pet food companies are not concerned about some website reporting a few problems. They have millions of people watching their cute advertizements on TV and seeing adorable animals on their pet food labels so a few complaints on an obscure website means nothing to them.
That leaves Vets on their own to do the kind of research we consumers do. Except that medical personnel are trained to be scientific minded. They will want to see the controlled studies and data showing how bad commercial PF is. Not all pets are healthy to begin with.
Many owners feed questionable treats.
Some get the wrong kind of human food. Pick up things outdoors. Drink stagnant water. Pick up stuff from Dog Parks. Cats are even more finicky and obscure in their habits. Just trying to figure out how they can deliver what we expect. Again, pets are our responsibility to feed well, just as we would our own human family. Instead they refer us to resources like for Diabetes, Heart Disease, etc.. Whatever symptoms they are presenting the owner had better change the food, period. Some Vets out there are great listeners. Was prepared to do the blood panel and urinary analysis. He examined the dog, checked his vitals, asked me his habits, if anything unusual was going on, etc..
My worry about his weight was mitigated by looking at his annual record which confirmed his steady weight for the last several years. He even had in his record that I home cook and what ingredients I used! They have another room for prescriptions. Maybe the best message we can share with new Readers is that using your own ingredients is best.

For dogs you can hardly go wrong. And for a couple of middle sized or smaller dogs the expense does not exceed that for commercial food. I know people with several larger dogs who feed raw, and that seems economical for them. Like many of us, I have fed lousy food, in ignorance, to my sweet pets, and hate to think of any damage I may have caused them.
Both of my cats are ill now, one with kidney disease and the other with an eating problem of unknown origin. I often think it is because of what I have fed them and may still be doing. Due to my chronic ill heath, I am not in a position to feed them homemade diets. I am bed ridden, frequently, and have no help. I have enough difficulty with my own eating disorders. My vet recommends Royal Canin, which I hate. She claims to know a lot about nutrition but does not, at all. The other cat will only eat one lousy brand of cat food, of one variety, no matter what I try to feed her. She throws up a lot.

My vet is no help. I tested for pancreatitis which was a negative result. The vet wants to test for allergies known to be inaccurate for cats , yet she has no allergic symptoms. I wish I knew what to feed either one of them. Sorry, I went off on a tangent but am so frustrated—the pet food industry really sucks, with some exceptions. I am not happy with the veterinary field, either. Her cat came down with diarrhea and suddenly stopped eating. He seemed to become very tired, drank excessive amounts of water, and quickly started losing weight.
