Solution to pet food crisis

The pet food recall over the weekend did not shock Victoria McDowell. She's heartbroken, yes, but not surprised in the least bit. For years she's been telling people to change what they feed their pets.

McDowell has an organic pet food company called Miss Autumn's Barkery, based out of her home in Jackson, Mo., and an arrangement with a company that supplies larger quantities of dog food based out of Wheeling, Ill. It's the only pet food company in the world that will come up with a recipe specifically devised for your pet's dietary needs. "It's not dog food. It's people food made for dogs," she said. "We don't make anything that people can't eat."
