If you have a pet, you're probably particular about what they eat.  Here in Minnesota you may have a certain store bought brand that you've long believed in, or you may be getting pet food that is prescribed through a veterinarian.

So there's cause for concern when you begin to hear or see 'online rumors' about a pet food that may be causing problems in pets.  You need to be informed so that you can make the best decision for your Minnesota pets.

The post states in part, "we also recommend researching the source of these posts.  Some are well-intentioned pet parents who are generally concerned and trying to be helpful, while others may be trying to create chaos and distrust of certain brands as an opportunity to sell their own products.  Either way, please know that if there is a confirmed issue with any Purina product, we will be sharing that information with our consumers first."

Susan Thixton, writing a response on TruthAboutPetFood.com responded:

Personal opinion: I am aware of many individuals that are working long hours behind the scenes – NOT ONE OF THEM is trying to ‘create chaos’ or using this concerning situation ‘as an opportunity to sell their own products.’ It is concerning that Purina made this statement – chose those words – about the veterinarians, advocates, and pet owners that are ONLY trying to help their fellow pet owners.

According to the Food & Drug Administration there are no current recalls for any Purina Products.
