I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BREAKING THIS STORY!!!

My dog almost died to this because her treats were affected and we had no idea until we had seen it in the news. We had a few grand in vet bills and no one could figure out what was wrong, but we threw the treats away and she started recovering quickly after that.

How did you stumble upon this story, and what kind of resources did you have to tap into to research it?

Pup-peroni, which is made by Smucker's who were one of the companies found to be affected. They were never pulled from shelves as far as I know, but after discussing it with out Vet, he's positive what we were seeing was due to it, they just never even though to look for that kind of poisoning before hand because they didn't expect her food to have it.

How much does your backbone connection cost in recurring fees?

Not gonna lie, that's significantly more expensive then I would have thought, but I've never really liked into it before too.

Where did you even go to find information on pricing for a straight up backbone connection?

I know that you said the FDA is still in investigation of this, since you're a bit closer to this than I am, do you know if the FDA has found anything meaningful in their investigation so far, or if there have already been or are planning to make specific recommendations on what needs changed?

Do you have any follow up pieces to this currently in the works or planned?
