First cancer prevention study - in canines

In the first clinical trial of its kind, researchers will investigate whether dietary antioxidant supplementation can decrease the likelihood of canine bone cancer. Scientists will study hundreds of cancer-free adult Rottweilers, which will be divided into groups receiving supplements and those receiving placebos. The nationwide study, under the direction of the Gerald P. Murphy Cancer Foundation, will follow these dogs over the course of the next eight years. While the majority of studies focus on treatment, this study concentrates on the prevention of cancerous tumor formation. The prevention study will seek to determine whether a potent antioxidant mix can enhance the body’s defenses against oxidative stress. Researchers theorize that bolstering cellular defenses could reduce the risk of cancer and/or improve longevity, not only for dogs but for humans as well.

Pet food recall

Dear Pet Parent,

The past few weeks have been extremely hard on companion animals and their families. It seems that every few days, we receive news of additional pet food recalls.
A recent wave of recalled pet foods – including foods made by Blue Buffalo, Costco, Natural Balance, Royal Canin and others – was due to contaminated rice protein concentrate. None of our products include this ingredient.

Menu Foods has further expanded their extensive recall to include other products that were cross-contaminated by wheat gluten containing melamine. And the contaminated rice protein concentrate was used in facilities operated by American Nutrition. None of our products are manufactured in any of the facilities where these contaminated ingredients were used. There is absolutely no danger that our foods were contaminated.

And, as you are probably aware, chickens have been fed the contaminated pet food product. We have been reassured by the FDA that this poultry is safe for consumption, not only by companion animals but by humans as well, because the contaminated food is not being eaten directly by either group. In any case, we have no reason to believe that these chickens were used in any of our foods.

We are fully confident that our products are completely safe. As you know, we employ numerous safety and quality controls to ensure the highest quality products. Our ingredients and foods undergo multiple tests, throughout the course of the manufacturing process.
All of the more than 5,300 recalled pet food products included contaminated ingredients imported from China. Again, none of our products include these contaminated ingredients. Aside from the contamination issue, we consider these ingredients to be inferior sources of protein, and therefore do not use them in any of our products. In fact, we have never used these ingredients, and you have our assurances that we never will. Our foods, treats and supplements include only human-quality ingredients sourced from trusted U.S. suppliers.
For a comprehensive list of recalled pet food products, we encourage you to visit the FDA’s web site at http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/petfood.html

Please know that we remain absolutely dedicated to providing products to ensure the long-term health and happiness of your companion animals.

We look forward to the opportunity to provide for all your companion animal needs for years to come.
