Imagine if all of a sudden your furry best friend and family member gets very sick from eating a bowl of kibble or a snack you bought as a special treat. You panic and call the vet as your poor dog or cat lays down in agony as you watch helplessly. You walk through the door of the vet and before you know it, have a $2000 vet bill. You are now forced to take off work and try to help this poor animal recover while the pet food manufacturer is completely not interested in hearing about your tales of woe. As unfair and heartbreaking as it is, pets get sick and often die from a pet food, a pet treat, or other pet product that is NOT related to any recall. When the panic subsides, the madness begins. Are other pets getting sick? What do I do now? Who do I call? Will I be reimbursed for my vet bills? Will my pet survive? And about a million more questions. The FDA has established a new 'Safety Reporting Portal', but the FDA does not provide pet owners with the number of adverse events reported directly related to pet food or pet treats, nor do we know which pet products are being reported on to the Federal agency. Where can you turn to advocate for your pet and be reimbursed for expenses? In this segment of The Organic View, pet food advocate and expert, Susan Thixton who is the founder of www.TruthAboutPetFood.com, will my guest to talk about the steps you need to take to deal with this crisis.
