It is so important to know who makes the food you buy and where the ingredients come from. I live on the west coast and have been buying FirstMate Pet Foods for the last ten years (www.firstmate.com). They have their own manufacturing plant and source all of their "human grade" ingredients locally. They are also independently owned, as opposed to some huge corporation (i.e. P&G) that cares more about the bottom line than the well-being of our animals. This whole recall affair is tragic, but if it makes us consumers more aware of what we give our pets, then some good can come from it.
