Specific brands

[Therese]

When I set up the forums, I set up boards for a few brands that I know people have been talking about lately. If your brand isn't listed, go ahead & start a thread and I can then set up a board just for that brand later.

If you're new to forums like this, just click the new topic button below and that'll allow you to start a new thread.

I've started topics for a few brands not mentioned above. Hopefully, you'll create specific sub-forums for those brands, as they were mentioned quite a bit in the blog.

Also, I might suggest separate forums for dog and cat food, as well as seperate sub-forums under those for wet and dry.

I think that would make it easier for people to find and post info on the specific products they are interested in.

I 2nd this.

The Blog had postings where the brand was named
without specifying 'wet or dry' food.

At the very least, posters need to specify wet or dry in the topic's subject line.

You know, I thought about separating it out with wet vs. dry...cat vs. dog but I think that would be breaking it down just a bit too far. I know a lot of people have cats and dogs and feed wet and dry. I do agree though that people are better off to mention specifically what they're feeding.

Cant find need topic button.  Please help.  Ad a new one on
Country Pet Natural Dog & Cat Food, it is frozen from new zealand sold at whole foods, slightly cooked?  Pasturized...is it good, bad, ugly???

Trying to find complete nutrition in canned/wet food.  Have been cooking incomplete home diet, haven't figured amount of calcium powder to add and want to buy a food not made at menu until I can buy a grinder and do more research.  cCats 6 on homemade now since Nat. Balance recall.  Have to have surgery and think two long not balanced.  I add Thorne Pharmaceutical Feline Basic nutrients vitamine usually 1 day with their methonini and glucosamine in baby food to suppliment t hem once a day but fear not enough taurine.  I also ad a powder calcium and no idea just sprinkle on.  Too dangerous not to get right. So how is country pet if I add 100 mg of taurine a day and cook it a little is it complete?  I also give fish oil 5 times a week with the vitamin.  sometimes give them 2 vitamins each some days none...flying blind here....
want something to rely on while I learn...thanks.

Here are just a few other brands to note that I've found lately, that I don't see listed. I'm not sure if any of these had recalls or not.

Aspen Pet Products
Petrapport
Spectrum Brands
Cardinal
IMS Pet Industries
Gimborn Pet Specialties
HealthPro
Kong
Nature's Animals
Old Mother Hubbard
Old West
Pet Ventures
Triple Crown
Veternarians's Best
Zuke's
Vitakraft

Also I'm not sure if anyone has pointed it out, but many brands are usually just subsidaries of another brand such as the nestle pet company which has about a dozen subsidaries, which in my opinion should be avoided.

Note: I still need to find upc information for many more brands, many that you already have listed.
