Mod eiCrate For Dogs

modcrate2.jpgThe nifty eiCrate designed by Peter Pracilio for Go!PetDesign goes beyond the old idea of a a crate being a boring box with its rounded pod shape. It comes in several different finishes and you can also get a nice looking cover for it and a pad for inside.

The ieCrate is really only for smaller dogs or cats, but they’re apparently working on larger versions. True, the pod shape isn’t as efficient a use of space as a traditional box-shaped crate and it can’t double for a carrier, but if you’ve got the space and money, I think it’s a lot more interesting.

Menu Foods Reaches Settlement In Pet Food Class Action

Menu Foods has reached a tentative settlement in the class action suit brought by owners of pets killed or sickened due to contaminants in Menu Foods products. Del Monte Foods Inc., Nestle, Procter & Gamble, Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co. Ltd. in Pixian, China, and Suzhou Textile Import & Export Co. in Jiangsu, China were also named in the suit.

In 2007 cats and dogs began falling ill and dying from kidney problems. The FDA eventually found melamine and cyanuric acid in many different pet foods. New recalls were being announced daily and over 60 million containers of food were recalled.
