Amazon sold bottles of urine marketed as an energy drink, a new documentary reveals. The company also makes it alarmingly easy to sell dangerous items to children.
Not surprising in the least. I was part of an Amazon product review program, but I stopped participating after seeing multiple posts for pet treats that contained ingredients that are harmful to dogs. Reporting the listings was a nightmare, and they were never taken down.
Fuck you, Amazon.
Not sure if I want to blame Amazon or just pet food companies.
I had two cats. My first cat died around 4 years. The vet tried her best. The second cat was hitting the same symptoms and went on a special vet diet and still lives.
I got two new cats later. Decide to feed them supermarket pet food. Same symptoms as the prior cats around the same age.
I now feed them expensive cat foods that’s 3x the cost. They have been happy and healthy.
I know not everyone can afford it. But I highly suspect that modern cheap catfood is full of bad shit.
What was the pet food that hurt your cats? What pet food do you give them now?
Not the person you responded to, but my vet strongly urged me to transition my cats to primarily wet food, saying that the cheapest wet food is still better than the best dry food. I could go on and on and on, but to be brief, they provide different ratios of carbs:protein (cats are obligate carnivores and require almost zero carbs) and cats that eat primarily wet food are much more likely to be adequately hydrated.
The cheap pet food at supermarkets. Anything Purina. I’d argue any supermarket pet food, but I’m not a animal nutritionist.
I currently buy pet food from small pet food stores that have a wider variety. Currently I feed them this 4-ingredient dry cat food that costs like 4x times the supermarket price, and daily wet food recommended by the vet.
I used to work at a vet clinic. Almost all the cats with new urinary blockages ate fancy feast, cat chow, or some similar Wal-Mart brand.
I would feel bad even feeding feral cats that crap.
To give them a very tiny sliver of credit, they did pull a good number of the radioactive “quantum healing” quackery they were selling… after it got attention of course.
Wish on the other hand…
So many radioactive products instructed to be worn over major arteries in one place for extended periods of time. What could go wrong?..
