Suture material in Innova? Weird...

[showpug]

So, I don't really know if I believe this person or not, but I thought the information was a little weird. If you scroll down to the center of the page she claims to have a picture of Innova Senior Plus kibble with suture material in it. Down below that, she shows a picture of EVO RM that looks pretty nasty. What do you guys think

I'm not sure about that.

 

[Buddy'sParents]

I don't know what to think anymore...

I know, the contradictions are always so frustrating, but I have a hard time believing this one...

Well, considering that human grade ingredients are what Natura has always maintained they use and no one has yet managed to discredit that, her assertions that they're including euthanized pet bodies is kind of stupid.

When I see something on Mordy's site, THEN I'll take it seriously. Mordy researches. And Mordy's got a functioning brain.

I'm with Renee on this one. I will wait and see. It is getting so sad about what is happening in the pet food industry though.

Oh, I'm so confused! Maybe I should just switch to Ol' Roy (atleast you'd expect sutures in that food).

 

[SummerRiot]

*sigh*...

I'm confused now..

WOW :yikes: Glad I stopped feeding it.................Did you see what she says about RAW diets That most Bostons she has seen eating a barf diet look sick and that salmonella and ecoli are a big concern to the dogs I tried copying and pasting what she said but it wouldn't let me................
On a side note, the dog food industry really has me worried! What the he!! is going on!

Ditto that.

I th ink I am going to start making my own dog food. At least I know what will go in it.

 

[Renee750il]

I really can't see that this particular bit of hyperbole is worthy of any attention from anyone, unless Natura would like to take her to task, and all that would do is lend her some credibility . . . kind of like celebs who take on those supermarket rags.

I thought Innova kibble was triangle shaped, I've never seen it circlely with a hole in the middle of it ??

Who knows...

 

[showpug]

I got a somewhat "radical" feel from her site in the first place and if I were feeding Innova, I certainly wouldn't stop because of this. Out of all the food companies, they are definitely at the very top. Part of me just thinks this person needs something better to do with their time.

Did you see what she says about RAW diets

Did you read the link to what happened to her friend's dogs? I read the whole thing (puppies with e.coli)...but nowhere did it say the dogs were eating raw. It just said that they didn't know how the dogs got sick.

I think the different kibbles are different shapes. The green bag I feed occasionally is triangles; I used to have my Bedlington on senior, and it was a flat disc. I know the reduced calorie is a different shape as well.

Her and her friend from the BT site claim they found sutures in their kibble. little over the top coincidental since no one else has reported it.

Senior formulas are round apparently.

 

[~Jessie~]

It could always be a suture from some sort of livestock- cow, chicken, etc.

And if it is true, how would the suture stay firmly tied after being subjected to heat and pressure from making the kibble?

 

[MafiaPrincess]

Innova's public response was that it was connective tissue when it was tested..
I still think that the site that posted about it is trying to stir stuff up though..

Here's my quote

Well, I was so concerned about it that I picked up another bag of EVO RM for Kharma and Bimmer this morning
