    The PURR Act: Big Pet Food’s Quiet Plan to Strip Your Pet’s Label

    October 13, 2026 /

    The House just passed the PURR Act inside a spending bill. Drafted by Big Pet Food lobbies, it strips state regulators of their power to review pet food labels, leaves "human grade" and "natural" claims unverified, and threatens local shelter funding. Here’s what pet parents need to know—and how to stop it.

    FDA Delay: Catastrophic Equine Product Contamination Case Released 8 Months After Horse Deaths Begin

    September 30, 2026 /

    An investigation into the Neogen Vet HYCOAT contamination crisis reveals how over 95 horses suffered agonizing joint destruction—and at least 20 were euthanized—from vials contaminated with drug-resistant mold (Purpureocillium lilacinum). Manufactured in a filthy Carmel, NY warehouse plagued by ceiling leaks and pest gaps, HYCOAT was packaged like an injectable while labeled as a "topical device." Despite seizing contaminated vials and auditing the plant in February 2026, the FDA waited seven months before issuing formal Warning Letters in September. Meanwhile, Neogen executed a "quiet recall" through financial news releases, leaving horse owners and veterinarians completely in the dark. Read the full investigation, view official FDA photo evidence, check recalled lot numbers, and access…

    September 29, 2026 /

    A 120-year-old regulatory split between the USDA and FDA allows diseased, condemned slaughterhouse waste and 4D livestock to enter the pet food and animal feed supply—exposing a massive legal loophole that puts pets and consumers at risk.

    Revival Animal Health’s Feline Recall Just Got Reclassified as Class I. Here’s Everything Else the Company Never Told You.

    September 27, 2026 /

    Revival Animal Health's feline milk replacer recall was just reclassified as Class I — the FDA's most serious hazard rating. This is the company's third recall in five months, with animals seriously injured and some killed — and all Revival is offering is a refund on the product. In that entire time, there isn't a single instance of the company telling its own customers, through its own website or Facebook page, that any of it had happened.

    Raaw Energy’s Raw Dog Food Draws an FDA Warning — And the Company Calls Sick Dogs’ Symptoms “Detox”

    September 24, 2026 /

    FDA's newest warning letter details blood on the production floor and a resident strain of Listeria at Raaw Energy — but the company's own website is worse: a policy that makes customers agree their food may contain bacteria, and a page calling a sick dog's symptoms "detox."

    September 7, 2026 /

    FDA Failed to Protect Consumers Again. Here’s the Latest Proof.

    August 26, 2026 /

    FDA's July 6, 2026 warning letter documents Listeria monocytogenes in finished raw pet food from Waves and Wine, Inc., sold under the brand Chef's Pure Pet Food. The letter also reveals product lines the company never tests for pathogens at all, an unvalidated kill-step method, and a single expired supplier guarantee standing in for real verification. Months after the positive test, and six weeks after the letter was finally made public, there is still no recall — and no public answer about whether the contaminated food ever left the plant.

    The FDA Has Had the Power to Force a Recall Since 2011. It’s Used It Once — And Never for Pet Food.

    The Animal Cruelty Hiding in Your Pet’s Food

    August 11, 2026 /

    Gestation crates, veal crates, and battery cages aren't just livestock housing — they're the front end of a supply chain that renders straight into your pet's food bowl. A stalled bill called the Save Our Bacon Act just exposed how far Smithfield and Tyson will go to protect it.
