I have been asked what food I fed that caused the death of the puppies.
I was living in Los Angeles at the time and the biggest supplier of pet
food was L.A. Pet Supply. I fed their ground
throat muscle meat that came in 5lb frozen packages. It was highly
recommended by other
breeders and was not cheap. The meat was lean and had a fresh smell. I
mixed the meat with
kibble, cottage cheese, yogurt, garlic, coat conditioner, and some
vitamins. Each dog got at
least a pound a day. It is important to note at this time that adult
dogs are carrion eaters and can digest meats without much problem. It's
only the baby puppies at weaning time that cannot.
I never suspected the meat because it appeared so fresh, until I had a
lab test it. It is extremely expensive to conduct this test, and the
results were astonishing. High e-coli and bacteria were
present, so much so that the lab recommend not touching it without
gloves.
My adult dogs thrived on this meat, and at that time I was feeding it,
I had two Selects and a Maturity Victrix. (all in beautiful condition).
Wean baby puppies on beef graded for human consumption only.
We old timers who have learned the hard way, are here to save you our
mistakes.
