		<description>Get rid of the Swifer if you love your pet

I just got this from friends and was shocked:

Please read re Swifer Wet Jet danger to animals. Thank you.

Swifer-Wet Jet Danger

&#62; I recently had a neighbor who had to have their 5-year old German
&#62; Shepherd dog put down due to liver failure. The dog was completely
&#62; healthy until a few weeks ago, so they had a necropsy done to see
what
&#62; the cause was. The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog had
&#62; ingested poison of some kind. The dog is kept inside, and when he's
&#62; outside, someone's with him, so the idea of him getting into
something
&#62; unknown was hard to believe. My neighbor started going through all
the
&#62; items in the house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he noticed,
in
&#62; very tiny print, a warning which stated "may be harmful to small
&#62; children and animals." He called the company to ask what the
contents of
&#62;
&#62; the cleaning agent are and was astounded to find out that
antifreeze is
&#62; one of the ingredients. (actually he was told it's a compound which
is
&#62; one molecule away from anitfreeze).
&#62;
&#62; Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the
&#62; solution, then licking it's own paws, and the dog eating from its
dishes
&#62;
&#62; which were kept on the kitchen floor cleaned with this product, it
&#62; ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver.
&#62;
&#62; Soon after his dog's death, his housekeepers' two cats also died of
&#62; liver failure. They both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups
on
&#62; their floors. Necropsies weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't
file
&#62;
&#62; a lawsuit, but he asked that we spread the word to as many people as
&#62; possible so they don't lose their animals.</description>

		<description>Please remember that Nutro did a press release a few years ago after the Diamond Pet food recall.  In this article they state that all there food "requires all our grain suppliers to test each load and provide us with certificates that assure the absence of aflatoxin risk.  Loads not meeting Nutro's strict standards may not be shipped to us...."
What a crock....
I pray for your pet, and you pray for mine.  He is a boxer/Lab named Tuxx, and on our shelf is the UPC code on Nutro Natural Choice, in which he has been eating this month.  
Go to the website for the strict quality assurance @ www.nutroproducts.com/diamond.asp
Kind of makes you want to see that certificate doesn't it?
