May I ask where you get your ranking info???

Nope it aint friday if no recalls

I will try to dig that up.

Right now, I'm freaking out over someone saying that serengeti is made by
chenango Valley. I thought they made the dry on their own premises. I cannot deal with this anymore. Going raw. If Timberwolf is vulnerable, I give up.
There are 5 pet food companies & valley is #3. More recalls to come & I am gonna opt out.
Better safe than sorry.

Timberwolf is too small a company to run there own plant ... I learned that with the menu recall ..

And the drama contiunes. this really is sad. I hope this recall stuff ends eventually.

well, I know the Maxximum from Walmart is made by Doane Pet Care Co. I hope they aren't involved in all this recall as well...
if anybody hears that they are, please let me know...
