Would you feed your pet diseased or rotting
meat?
Would you give your pet a food that contained
chemicals linked to
cancer?
Would you give your pet a food that contained
ingredients from China?
You might be right now and not even
know it.
The
Truth...
The FDA. The FDA has
established "Compliance Policies" which directs FDA field representatives on how to enforce the laws that
govern pet food. The particular Compliance Policy pictured here to the right, is in reference to canned pet food. This states...(bold added)...
"POLICY: Pet food consisting of material from diseased
animals or animals which have died otherwise than by slaughter, which is in violation of 402(a)(5)
will not ordinarily be actionable, if it is not otherwise in violation of the law. It will be
considered fit for animal consumption."
This means that some pet food ingredients are sourced from diseased animals
or euthanized animals. There are many more FDA Compliance Policies that allow filth contaminated ingredients,
rodent or bird feces contaminated ingredients, and even chemical contaminated ingredients into pet foods.

Do you know if your pet's food contains these
ingredients?
China.
In 2007, thousands of dogs and cats in the U.S. died due to contaminated pet
food ingredients sourced from China. In just the past year and a half, the FDA has received reports on the death of
more than 300 pets linked to Chinese imported jerky treats.
You'd think that pet food manufacturers would be avoiding ingredients sourced
from China - but that's not true. Actually, dog food and cat food (and pet food ingredients) imports from China
have increased by more than30 million pounds in just five
years! (Source: Food and Water Watch)
Do you know if your pet's food contains ingredients sourced from China?
Misleading Advertising.
Pet food labels or television commercials can show images of fresh meat and fresh vegetables.
But, because of numerous FDA Compliance Policies (675.100, 675.200, 675.400, 690.300)...
|
The label shows this...
Human Grade
|
The pet food really contains this...
Pet Grade

Do you know if your pet's food is made from human grade or pet grade
ingredients?

"This is AWESOME information, Susan—thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the diligence
and hard work and effort you put in to ensure we are able to make the healthiest decisions for our
pets."

Walk into any pet store and you find hundreds of choices in a variety of price
ranges. How do you decide?
You simply cannot decide on a dog food or cat food by looking at the front of the bag or can; this
is marketing, it is not the truth about what's inside the pet food. Actually, the front of a pet food bag is
legally allowed to lie to you. Pet food regulations state a pet food label can contain "unqualified
claims, either directly or indirectly". Unqualified claims mean a pet food label can claim 'Premium' or
'Choice Ingredients' when the truth is far from premium or choice.
The next challenge pet owners are up against...Pet food regulations ALSO do NOT
allow a pet food manufacturer to make any statements to quality or grade of ingredients on their
label. Some pet foods use the same quality of meat you'd purchase in the grocery for any other member of
your family. Problem is, these pet foods are NOT allowed to tell you this (yes, I know - it's
ridiculous; rules allow them to make unqualified claims, but the same rules say they can't be honest). A
quality minded pet food manufacturer, who uses the same quality of meat that you would purchase in the grocery for
your family is NOT allowed to tell you that. (Association of American Feed Control Officials model
regulations.)
Some pet foods contain chemicals and dyes linked to cancer and serious
illness. Some canned pet foods have a lining inside the can that contains BPA, a chemical
scientifically linked to cancer.
Petsumer Report reviews tells you which Pet Food Manufacturers use human quality
ingredients, BPA lined cans, and who uses risky chemicals and dyes.

"Thank you so much for all this great information! I've been a member for a couple
months I guess, and I find I'm always in here double checking a food or treat for my dogs and cats.
Thank you for helping me make informed decisions about the food I'm feeding my animals. Several
years ago, I lost a my dog and cat due to pet food contamination. It was the most devastating loss
and I never want to experience that again, or carry the guilt over feeding them the very thing that
claimed their lives."

What is Petsumer Report?
Petsumer Report is an online pet food information database providing subscribers with vital
information on over 2,500 dog foods, cat foods, and pet treats (new products added each month). Subscribers
have 24/7 access to information the pet food label does not provide.
Do I have to download the reviews to my computer?
No, all the reviews are hosted online. Simply login and click on the dog food or cat food
brand you'd like more information on. It's quick and easy to compare thousands of pet foods and treats.
What kind of information does Petsumer Report provide?
Petsumer Report gives subscribers alerts to risky ingredients, ingredient country of origin (U.S.
only or imports), grade or quality of meat ingredients, list of health promoting ingredients, recall history, and
much more! (See example below.) Plus, Petsumer Report actually teaches subscribers how to select/review
a pet food on their own! Reviews include a "To Learn More" section providing detailed information on
regulations, scientific studies, and/or ingredient definitions.
Who subscribes to Petsumer Report?
Thousands have subscribed from all over the world. Although the reviews in Petsumer Report
only apply to foods sold in the U.S. and Canada, pet owners from countries all over the world have subscribed
(Amsterdam, UK, Tailand, Israel, South Africa, China, Denmark, Germany, Singapore, Australia, Japan, Canada, U.S.,
and counting). Pet owners, breeders, shelters, rescue groups, pet store owners, veterinarians and even pet
food marketing professionals (checking out the competition) have subscribed to Petsumer Report.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, you have a full 60 days to look over Petsumer Report. If for ANY reason you are not
satisfied, I'll refund your money no questions asked.
What Petsumer Report is NOT...
Petsumer Report is NOT an endorsement of ANY pet food.
Petsumer Report does NOT guarantee any food will not be recalled; even the best company can make a
mistake.
Petsumer Report does NOT pick/choose a pet food for you. Each pet is different, each pet food
consumer is different.
Petsumer Report simply provides you with the information that the dog food or cat food
label does not or can not tell you in order to make an informed decision of what to feed your dog or
cat. And don't expect state-of-the-art website design either; Petsumer Report is a simple design
(easy to read).
Petsumer Report saves you the time consuming job of calling the manufacturer and learning details
about the food. Petsumer Report makes it easy for you to compare brands with access to the pertinent
information.

"Dear Susan, today I re-upped my petsumer report subscription. I didn't realize it had
expired. I've been making my own raw dog food and organic veggie at home here for about 8 months so
actually I'm not using the petsumer report much. So why did I pay for it again. A number of
reasons Susan and I want you to know what they are. I admire so much your spirit of creating for
yourself an income doing something so beneficial for so many. I don't know if you got a grant to
start your site or just began, and I have no idea if the $17.95 per year times your subscribers,
keeps you afloat but I hope it does and will continue to grow. I certainly want to contribute my
$17.95 toward your livelihood. Certainly a small sum for all the good I've gotten. And I've been
able to scare one relative and 2 neighbors into feeding better quality food in this past
year. My favorite line is........." pay some money now into the front end of this dog or pay
the vet after the dog has done all the suffering, your choice." And because I've been able to look
up their dog foods and report to them that there were 'NO PAWS', all three were shamed into
classing up their food choice and one of them became a subscriber of yours. So, good for me to have
that info at hand, good for them to get educated and good for you. See why I still need my
subscription?"

"Susan, I just wanted to let you know that I find Petsumer Report Online
to be very easy to use. It is easy to move from subject to subject, I never get lost. It is very
helpful being online, versus hard copy because I sometimes remember something I want to review from
previous newsletters/reports and cannot seem to find my hard copy, but quickly can find Online and
even print if I need to. I thank you so much for all that you do to help educate the public
to help our furry friends. Thank you"
Sonja
"Susan - I just wanted to say THANK YOU for offering such a resourceful website. I find your
website easy to use and FULL of information. I just subscribed to Petsumer Reports today too and in
less than an hour I was able to do all the research I needed to find the right food for my dog. He
has been eating XXX but the high protein seems to be too rich for his stomach, so I was on the hunt
for a new food. I am part of an animal rescue group in Phoenix, AZ called Lost Our Home Pet
Foundation. Our mission is to take in foreclosure pets - animals that have been left behind when
people move out of their house and abandon their pets. I foster kittens for the rescue group and I
ALWAYS take the time to tell adopters about the high quality food I feed my kittens. I often
get people who go out of their way to find the same food - all because I took the extra time to
mention the importance of it. Thank you for putting Petsumer Reports together - I'm excited to use
it on a regular basis as I am always talking to people about their pet food. And I especially like
the red font for the Red Flag ingredients, the gray font for the ingredients with no nutrional
value, and the PawPrint rating - that really helps sort through the good and bad
quickly."
Sincerely,
Wendy

The information provided in Petsumer Report is NOT proprietary information. Most of it is available
to you by calling each pet food manufacturer and asking a few questions. Knowledge of the 'red flag' ingredients,
natural or chemical preservatives, and health promoting ingredients comes from reading the AAFCO definitions of pet
food ingredients and some research materials. Petsumer Report™ Online simply puts all of the information that
SHOULD be on the label - in one place and does all the time consuming work for you.
