Starting A Pet Food Recall Ping List

[mom4kittys]

With the news changing daily about the tainted pet food, Arizona Carolyn and I are starting a ping list to be published on her profile page. Please let us know if you would like to be included. I will not be able to respond until later today and over the weekend.

Hi, please put me on your ping list. Thanks a lot!

[CaliGirl-R]

Please include me.

Thanks, this recall is getting hard to keep up with.

Wheat, rice and corn problems. Salmonella chicken jerky, UGH.

[trisham]

Yikes. Thanks for the ping.

[Fawn]

Up until maybe 6 months ago-—the vet had my one cat exclusively on this Royal Canin prescrip dry food. I wonder how long this food has been contaminated.

[Titan Magroyne]

Thanks ladies, please add me to your Pet Food Recall List.

And a great big THANK YOU to all who have posted threads/pings and updates for concerned FReepers with furbabies since the issue came to light.

[jwh_Denver]

Yes, please put me on the list. And thank you for your efforts in this situation.

[LSAggie]

Oh, no!! You’ve cared for Miss Kitty too hard to be foiled by contaminated corn gluten!! But, if nothing happens so far you should be okay shouldn’t you? From what I’ve read, it seems that the sickness comes on very quickly.

[Overtaxed]

It says corn gluten meal. She’s been okay so far.

I’m just about ready to start cooking for her (yeah, she’d love hamburger and steak every night!)

[Double Tap]

If at all possible, please include me.

“I came thisclose to buying Royal Canin yesterday”

I dodged the same bullet last week.
What stopped *me* is the fact that Royal Canin contains corn products and my Ibizans are not supposed to have corn, if they can possibly avoid it.

I bought Buckeye Pro Kennel Super Bits instead.

Try Buckeye Pro Kennel Super Bits.
The kibble is *teeny tiny*!
A little bit of water on it would no doubt make it very easy for her to eat.

My dogs are really doing well on it and amazingly, the fussy snobs actually *like* it....:)

My dogs are fools for American cheese.
I can’t make a sandwich without having all the resident “radars” detect the cellophane crinkling and come rushing into the kitchen...:D

[Salamander]

“Can you believe they won’t allow our inspectors in?”

If you’ve got nothing to hide, why hide it, right?

I’ve ditched 3 different dog food companies since this started because they said “one” or “a few” of their product line included Chinese import ingredients.

That’s it, I’m done.

If a pet food company buys *anything* from that place and puts it in my kid’s food, I’m not buying from “them”.

I wanted to ping everyone to these sites that a freeper posted yesterday. It would be a good idea to bookmark these:

FWIW, this is the food I now feed my dog. They put the info up right away that they were NOT part of the recall. Unlike some other companies who failed to put up notification for some time that they WERE part of it.

Here’s the statement about their ingredients.

It sounds good but all their formulas have corn and I have to avoid that because of the breed of dog that I have.

[and they can’t have soy and several other things like certain preservatives, etc]

Thanks for thinking of us....:)

[Elle Bee]

I would very much appreciate being included in your ping list

[Think free or die]

Please count me in.

Lots of good recall info at Itchmo.com!

Please include me on your ping list.

Many thanks!

~LOL~ I think once you have seen how great all out pets do on a natural diet, it’s hard not to shout it from the rooftops....
