Pet Food Expert reveals Tips to Avoid the Next Pet Food Recall

Jan. 2, 2008 - PRLog -- Last year turned out to be the worst in history for pet food recalls.  While there is no way to be 100% certain that a pet food will not be tainted or will not be recalled, pet food expert Susan Thixton has just provided pet owners with a list of pet food ingredients that have been associated with recalls and are potentially dangerous.

Wheat, Soy, and Corn Glutens were the bad boy ingredients of 2007, but there can be other potentially dangerous ingredients in pet foods.  Pet Food Expert Susan Thixton has published a tip sheet of information listing potentially and historically dangerous pet food ingredients that pet owners should avoid in 2008.  Thixton’s website TruthAboutPetFood.com helps pet owners worldwide learn how to find healthy and safe foods and treats for their dogs and cats.  “The pet food recall that began in February 2007 is still on the minds of pet owners everywhere” states Thixton.  “The pet food industry or the FDA have made no changes to regulations on imported ingredients or regulated mandatory testing of pet food.  Pets continue to be at risk of another recall.  I wanted to do something to help – I’m hoping this list will alert pet owners on what pet foods to avoid to try to keep their pets safe” continues Susan Thixton.  

The free pet food ingredient warning list – Tips to Avoid the Next Pet Food Recall – is available to pet owners at www.TruthAboutPetFood.com in the Paws Club section of the website or direct page at http://www.TruthAboutPetFood.com/avoidrecall.html The list is also available in an RSS feed format at http://www.truthaboutpetfood.com/avoidrecall.rss.  

Susan Thixton has been studying the pet food industry over 15 years since the bone cancer death of her dog her veterinarian told her was caused by chemical preservatives in pet food.  In 2005 Thixton published the book Truth About Pet Food which led to the development and publication of Petsumer Report™ - an online and paper publication that rates and reviews dog foods, cat foods, and dog and cat treats.  Future plans for Petsumer Report™ are to provide chemical analysis of pet foods and reviews on various other pet supplies.
