So I got the new issue of Dog Fancy (Feb 2008), and they have a VERY short article about how the pet food industry will now be more regulated. I guess the huge pet food recall finally opened up some eyes. The new amendment act requires the pet food industry to establish new ingredients, labeling, and processing standards with in the next 2 years.
Hopefully this will help improve the quality of the pet foods and for those of us that feed dog/cat food to our blueys, we can feel better/safer doing so!

Some of the food on the recall list was high quality - that's why it was so huge and scary. The top top quality foods like Wellness and Solid Gold were not involved, but top food like Natural Balance was.

Its all up to your government and the different government agencies.
