How to keep your family safe from dog food

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Are they kidding?  The American Veterinary Medical Association has issued  a statement offering tips for the safe handling of processed pet foods and treats.

  • Wash your hands after handling pet food or treats
  • Don’t allow young children, the elderly or those who are immunocompromised to handle pet food or treats
  • Keep all pet foods and treats away from family food
  • Don’t prepare dog food in the same area or with same equipment that you use to prepare human food
  • Try and feed your pet in another area other than the kitchen

OMG!   Commercial dog food gotten so bad that we have to be warned about it!  There is no one watching out for your dog but YOU.  Take the time to learn about dog foods.  Your dog’s health and life depends on it.
