Fayette 4-H Dog Club visits pet food plant
The Fayette County 4-H Dog Club recently toured the Mars Pet Care pet food plant in Everson. Dean Siwula, plant manager, gave a presentation on the different types of pet food the plant makes and the contents of the feed. After the presentation, Jeff Jacobs, quality co-coordinator, escorted the club members and their families on a tour of the plant, where he explained how materials are received, processed, checked for quality control, bagged and then packed for shipping. At the end of the tour, members were given packaged samples of food and treats for their own pets to sample as a thank you for touring the plant.
