April 3, 2013 - Bravo! is voluntarily recalling three of its raw
diet frozen foods for dogs and cats: 5 lb tubes of Bravo! Chicken
Balance product item code 21-405 with "best used by" dates of
3_6_15 and 3_12_15; 2 lb Bravo! Chicken Blend product item code
21-102 with the "best used by" date of 3_21_15 and 5 lb. bags of
Bravo! Beef Blend Burgers product item code 51-508 with the "best
used by" dates of 3_21_15 and 3_22_15, because they have the
potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

All foods, including people food, have the potential to be infected
with salmonella. The government should be inspecting the food
processing plants to prevent these infections. If they don't do their
job, errrrr.... so what else is new?

Dogs and cats, in spite of their loyalty and love for us are
considered to be second class citizens. Cats can't get CAT scans, and
pets can't get PET scans. So these wonderful companions are treated
with minimal medical expertise and services, and die from many simple
to cure conditions on a regular basis. Bad food is just one of many
things they have to put up with.

Actually, we do have tests such as CT scans and MRI for cats. However,
they are very expensive and availability varies by location.

Yes. I'm afraid that the new medical plans will tke these away for even us
old geezer's, much less for the pets. but, we'll see what transpires.... I
don't have a lot of hope for our furry friends, however.....
