A recent incident with one of our patients has brought to a
light a potential issue with pet foods purchased online - in particular, a
company suggesting that counterfeit food is being repackaged with their
branding. Just as we recommend you be
cautious where you get your medications from, please be equally cautious with
foods. Counterfeit product is not the
only risk when purchasing from an unauthorized reseller - it may be stored or
transported improperly causing it to spoil, it may be tampered with, or it may
even be expired (always check the dates).
Please check directly with your preferred brand of pet food that the
online retailer you are purchasing it from is an authorized reseller. If they are not authorized, then they are not
purchasing it directly from the manufacturer and, instead, from a dubious
source. Some companies, such as Fromm, may maintain a current list on their
website. https://frommfamily.com/retailers/buyer-beware/
