ask them if they have a rendering plant on the same premises? Also i found rat poop in my dogs vet food and i sent it to them and they sent me coupons as well. I am stuck with this vet food due to my dogs condition unfortunately but i was upset about it. I just know two dogs that had stomach cancer that ate only merrick food. The owner of Merrick is always lobbying to put rendering parts into the food legally but since the plant is there it is probably happening already. --Google it and see. I spread this as one of the yorkie ladies i know her dog ate this and had a softball size tumor in his stomach removed and he died a few months later as it was cancer. Another lady on a maltese group said her dog had several stomach tumors removed and all she fed was merrick. I cannot help but beleive it is tied to the food. The book foods pets die for goes over rendering plants and how they put diseased meat in dog food and Merrick is lobbying for this constantly and has both a pet food manufacturing company and a rendering plant he owns.
Okay, I am confused. Did you find "rat poop" in Merrick food? Was it determined for sure that the "cancers" came from eating Merrick food, if so, then why is Merrick still in business??? I would certainly like to see documentation to support this claim. Also, are you saying that Merrick is putting things into their foods illegally?? To my knowledge, they had no recalls when so many of the other companies were having huge problems. I certainly do not want to feed anything to Kissi that will do her harm, but it looks to me like the only sure way to know what your dog is eating (or yourself for that matter) is to prepare everything yourself. Of course, if you don't "grow your own", you still have no way of knowing exactly what you are feeding. And even that could be a problem, unless you grow your own feed for your chickens, cattle, etc. Just look at the current peanut butter recall...that stuff was going to schools, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. I am not necessarily defending Merrick, if there is proof, not rumor, then I would love to see the documentation.
