PETitionz Co-Founder Launches
Trust Pet Cuisine!
The Personal Chef for Pets is Ready to Serve.
For Immediate Release
(Toronto, Ontario, August 28, 2008) Canada’s only Personal Chef for Pets is being launched today.
The fresh approach to pet food created by Karen Fraser and Tabitha Chapman is simple -
“We cook the safe, nutritious pet meals you would make if you had the time”
Trust Pet Cuisine is
cooked by an international Chef in our professional kitchen using only
fresh, local, organic , human level ingredients in every meal. We conveniently deliver Trust to your home or workplace. The meals, delivered by a planet friendly courier, arrive in compostable containers.
To build a Trust relationship the partners will have ongoing personal consultations with each client. Chef Jorge will serve only 100 clients to ensure an on-going high level of personal service.
“While your cats and dogs enjoy
our Chicken Cacciatore or Quiche- on- a- Leash you enjoy peace of
mind”, states Karen. “As a lifelong pet owner Trust is my personal
response to the ongoing recalls.”
“We want to help pet owners to ensure healthier companion animals enjoying longer, happier lives”, adds Tabitha.
Successful
entrepreneur Paul Kenyon says “As the owner of Absolute Location
Support Services, I hired a personal chef to keep me healthy on my
hectic schedule. Now I can have one for my dogs; they love the Trust food!”
The Trust Pet Cuisine meals can be ordered through the web site or by calling Trust at (416) 955-1551.

Menu Foods Tentative Settlement - on - April Fools
How appropriate.It's ironic that a mere piece
of property in the form of a German Shepherd had to be brought in to
safeguard the building for the humans . . .
TORONTO — A year after the tainted pet food scandal at Menu Foods
(TSX:MEW.UN) rattled animal lovers and sent the company's stock into a
freefall, the pet food industry has slipped off the radar of Canadian
regulators and other agencies.
Saturday marks a full-year since dog and cat owners were sent into a
panic over the possibility that food they were giving their pets could
be tainted by wheat gluten laced with poisonous melamine.
The chemical used for making plastics was added by a China-based
supplier as a cheap way to make the food look like it had higher
protein levels, but it was also killing some pets that consumed it.
Since then, little has been done in Canada to ensure that pet food
is any safer, aside from continuing to rely on companies to
self-regulate and monitor their international suppliers.
After the recalls started last year, the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency began a review of its responsibilities to pet food and,
according to their website, "determine if room for improvement exists
within the Canadian system."
On Friday, it appeared as though nothing had changed.

PETitionz.org Gets Ready for the Next Step!As
you may have noticed by the visitor counter above, we have had the
pleasure of receiving over 168,000 visitors from 147 countries since we
first launched this site in April 2007. In that time we have had the
privilege to hear from lots of concerned pet owners and had the
opportunity to share many stories both sad and encouraging.
The pet owner community globally is an incredible group of caring and
concerned individuals. Over the time in which this site has been
operational, a number of themes have repeated constantly:
- People have been extremely disappointed with the response of the pet food manufacturers.
- Trust has not been re-established with the major pet food manufacturers.
- Veterinarians did not stand up for the pets the way some expected and hoped that they would.
- Government
regulation, where it exists, is not adequate to meet the challenge and
new legislation while welcome is unlikely to have much effect.
- There
are many different views of what food is best, what the ingredients
should or should not be and a growing consumer shift to smaller and
more local food suppliers.
- Where is an accurate accounting of animals killed and injured by tainted food?
- People
have even been more upset by the emerging stories of what ingredients
go into pet food to reach the necessary "crude" protein levels.
- There is growing certainty that package labeling is not giving the true picture of what is in the food.
- A
huge number of people want to know where ALL of the ingredients really
come from. Reliable sourcing is emerging as a major issue.
- A
large and quickly increasing number of people are searching for better
ways to make sure that the food they feed their friends is safe.
As core volunteers of PETitionz.org, we wonder about the untimely deaths of a number of our cats. Was it from "natural" causes or were the inoperable tumors that were found caused or encouraged by the kind of food we fed them?
There are many unanswered questions. We, the people of PETitionz.org are working on 2 major projects that we hope will help to answer some of the most outstanding questions and allieviate at least some of the anxiety over what we are feeding those who rely upon us.
We are hoping to be able to announce these new efforts within a very few weeks time. Please be patient and check back often. We will let you know as soon as we can.
Your PETitionz.org Volunteers!
