This is absolutely outrageous! Hardly anyone even mentions this, but if it was tainted baby food or something, the world would be coming to an end. I only thank God that we feed Beans either home made or “human grade” dog food (Innova EVO), that is made in the U.S. I had fed her Iams in the past and she was lethargic and had no energy. I wonder now if the food was tainted even then. There should be grave economic and criminal punishment for the unnecessary, preventable, careless treatment of dogs and cats, whose lives are every bit as valuable as those who are culpable.
