Researcher's Link Health Problems to Genetically Modified Foods

Research Scientist Arpad Pusztai notes that through his research of Genetically Modified potatoes they are seeing internal modifications in dogs. Their intestines and stomach are enlarged, kidneys and liver are smaller than normal and the immune systems are significantly suffering.

Avoiding processed corn, wheat and soy products for your pets safety. Feeding a more natural raw diet is recommended. While remembering that animals fed on genetically modified foods are altered animals so you are consuming a different animal when you feed these.

Harmful Bacteria Found in Lake Chauncy: Resident Worried About Dogs

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) issued a public health advisory for cyanobacteria in Lake Chauncy.

“The algae bloom has the appearance of pea soup and is capable of producing toxins that can be dangerous to humans and pets,” reads a statement from the Westborough Board of Health (BOH).

According to the Centers for Disease Control, cyanobacteria is also known as blue-green algae. They are usually too small to be seen, but can sometimes form visible colonies. When that happens, the water becomes cloudy, the algae usually floats to the surface and can be many inches thick.

People and pets should avoid contact with the algae. Avoid swallowing the water. Rinse off after any contact.

For more information, contact the Westborough BOH at 508-366-3045, the Massachusetts DPH at 617-624-5757 or visit www.mass.gov/dph/environmental_health.

DOG PARK ALERT:

We have received two notices. (1) Nails wrapped in cheese at dog parks in Chicago and Massachusetts (see pic). (2) from some friends that in Augusta Maine dog park, antifreeze is being found in doggie water bowls. Please beware and be careful!



at this time these are unconfirmed events and we will keep you posted as more information becomes available.

Voluntary Milk Bone Recall Alert

Milk Bone Dog Biscuit 10lb Delmonte Pet has a recall on Milk Bone Dog Biscuit 10lb. Code #90967 Milk Bone Dog Biscuits 10 lb (UPC 24000-92502) with lot code 12071k Only!

The FDA website had no information of this recall, so I called DelMonte. I was told "this is not a recall, we voluntarily pulled the product because mold was discovered after the product was in the market place." When I asked too many questions of the DelMonte consumer representative, she told me I was going to need to talk with 'someone else'. She took my name and number, I've waited three hours - no return call.

So, if your pet eats Milk Bones, please look for code #90967, UPC 24000-92502, lot code 12071k on the box. The product could contain mold to which we have no idea how dangerous this might be.
