Quality Assurance - Dog Food - Cat Food
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Trilogy / HealthyPetNet Field Representative,
Premium Cat & Dog Food - Here
As many of you already know, a new wave of recalls has been announced in the last 24 hours. Evidence suggesting that a shipment of the ingredient “Rice Protein Concentrate” contained melamine has come to light. Natural Balance, Royal Canin and Blue Buffalo have all announced recalls of their products containing this ingredient.
We have had several inquiries regarding our foods, since Life’s Abundance contains “whole brown rice”. Some consumers are confused, as the newly recalled Natural Balance foods include “brown rice” in their names. However, the contaminated ingredient is not brown rice; instead, it is “Rice Protein Concentrate”. None of our products include this ingredient.
Additionally, it is believed that this contaminated ingredient, like the wheat gluten involved in prior recalls, was imported from China. We use only human-quality ingredients from U.S. sources in our foods. There is no chance that this ingredient came into contact with any of our products.
We are fully confident that our foods, as well as all of our products, are completely safe. All of the products covered in the recalls of recent weeks included either wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate (and possibly corn gluten) in their formulas. We consider these ingredients to be unnecessary fillers, and as you know, we do not use fillers in any of our foods.
We continue to maintain very strict quality control measures in the manufacture of all of our foods, treats, care products and supplements. As we have noted previously, we devote a great deal of energy into using only the best vendors in the market, so that only the highest quality ingredients are included in our products.
We encourage you to contact your customers to let them know that all HealthyPetNet products are completely safe.
We will continue to monitor these developments and work diligently to provide the safest, healthiest options for your consumers and their companion animals.
Best regards,
Trilogy International

It’s getting more and more difficult all the time to trust any of the makers of pet food. I know they are trying NOW, but some of their past practices show them in a very bad light.
