Pet Owners Panic
Today I decided that I am going to write my blog entry about the recall on pet food. Over 16 pets have died from being feed the many popular wet dog and cat foods. This is a horrible thing to have happened because of how close people are with their pets. I have three dogs and I know that if something like this happened to my babies I would be horrified. Many pet owners are rushing their animals to the vet to get checked and it has been noted that if your animal is showing any signs such as throwing up or if they seem the slightest bit sick you should take them to the vet to be tested. An investigation is going on to find out the exact cause of this and the entire stock of wet dog and cat food has been recalled and pulled off the shelves. This has had a huge impact on many people. First of all the families who have lost their pets must be extremely upset. The stores have had to take all of the food off their shelves and have lost a lot of money and also sales I’m sure will drop drastically after this. People are spending money to have their pets checked and are worried that their pet will get sick like others have. Also there is a lawsuit against the company. Owners who have lost their pets can file a report and will probably sue the company for their loss. Pets are apart of peoples families and it is hard to see them go. Nothing will ever make up for the loss of their friend and companion.

This story really upsets me because I know how hard it is to see your pet suffer and die as a result of carelessness. I think that the death of a pet is an awful experience because they really are a part of your family. For me its almost like losing a brother or a sister because I’m an only child. I know that this seems silly but this is a horrible occurence. You try to give your pet the best and it turns out that the food is contaminated. I think there should be stricter regulations on food production to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.

When I heard they were recalling cat & dog foods, I freaked! I have 2 cats and a dog. I don’t know what I’d do if anything happened to them especially because of the food I’m buying them. It’s terrible! One of my cats acuatlly got sick a week ago & I called the vet immediately. Thankfully she’s going to be fine, but a million things were going through my head. What if she was getting sick because of this contaminated cat food? I don’t know how I’d react if I lost a pet du eto this whole thing. It’s unreal.
