Pet Support Services - Lansing MI

Pet Support Services is a Lansing-based non-profit corporation which is run solely by volunteers and donations from the community and local businesses.

Their mission is to assist people with special medical and physical challenges in keeping, feeding, and caring for their companion animals.

PSS is unique in that they serve as an intervention at the request of the pet owner when the pet owner has fallen upon short-term or long-term financial or physical hardships, so the pet does not have to be given up by the pet owner, a situation that adds to our overpopulation of homelss pets and leaving the owners without what is often their best friend and companion.

Clients must reside in either Eaton or Ingham counties of Michigan.

Pet Food Recall UPDATE - May 6, 2007

Pet Food Recall Widens on Cross-Contamination

Pet Food Recall Widens Again on New Threat - May 3, 2007

As a pet owner and animal lover, that’s the title that caught my eye on today’s Yahoo! News.  The article states  - (any emphasis is mine)

“The newest recall involves any pet food processed at any Menu Food plant …”

“…did not say what the cross-contamination involved.”  (Makes you think, eh?)

“The news followed reports earlier this week that contaminated pet food leftovers had been fed to hogs and chickens, many of which have been processed for human consumption.” (later in the article, there is a statement claiming there is no evidence of harm to humans)
