Popular Pet Treats Recalled in Washington


I once read a meme that spoke so much truth to me, it made me pretty sad and made me take a closer look at the relationship with my dog.

The meme talked about how we (humans) have TV, video games, movies, books, comics, art, OUR PHONES, for entertainment. So many things at our literal finger tips to occupy and bring us joy.

Our pets, have us.

My little dog has my wife and I for everything. To make sure he's fed, entertained, and taken care of.

When you see a recall on something like this, it really gets to you. A recall that affects treats for your pet; treats that you give to them to let them know that you care, a treat that might harm them is jaw dropping.

But sadly, it happens.
