Believe me, I (we) are interested. We are puppy raisers for Guide Dogs for the Blind and our food is selected with out dogs eventual blind pardner in mind. IE: good food but not too pricey. Currently we use Purina large breed puppy food and then graduate into Eukanuba adult formula. I don't know exactly where these two are made but could easily see them slipping some "Chinese" stuff in there. :silly: (No offense to anyone Chinese) Keep on keepin' on. We're listening.

Don't we make plates out of melamine? Sheeze, you'd think if it was used in constructive ways, it'd be too expensive for "cheap protien fill". Has no one spoken up that the companies that did that did it to falsify quality of product and the content listed within? False advertising lawsuits!

Looks like China has sentanced their former FDA head to death for bribary and corruption. His administration was linked to a lot of deaths for food and drugs that received an approval that shouldn't have like no nutriant baby formulea, so pet food issues seems to be just the tip of the iceberg of issues in china.

Sad. It all comes down to money. The rich (in China or where ever) get richer and the poor get poorer. From what I know of China, putting one person (or one million) to death doesn't even phase them. They simply don't care.
