For those who are not aware of it, there is a new documentary called "Pet Fooled",and it is about the pet food industry, and how its products are far from being healthy and beneficial for your pets. Here's the trailer and several other interesting and relevant videos. I haven't seen it myself, but listened to the interview with the creator, and it looks very interesting! At the moment you can only purchase the documentary, but perhaps at one point it will be available for free.

There is a Finish university study which will address accusations of raw fed dogs and cats being responsible for disease in humans.
Would those who feed raw kindly fill in this questionnaire. It takes less than 5 min. Thank you!

For the past couple of days RT has been showing the full version of "Pet Fooled". I haven't been able to find RT's version, but here's the full documentary with French subtitles. The documentary is very interesting and worrying!

Another good reason not to eat commercial dry foods:


At least 330 cats died from a mysterious illness investigators believe could be linked to recalled cat food, according to the Royal Veterinary College (RVC).

Vets across the UK have treated at least 528 cases of feline pancytopenia.

The illness causes the number of red and white blood cells and platelets in cats to rapidly decrease, causing serious illness which can often be fatal.

The RVC said that of the cases treated at their own hospitals or by vets, there was a 63.5% mortality rate.

The true number of cases could be higher,
it warned, because many cats who become ill may not be taken to a veterinary practice.
