Pet Food Recalled After Several Dogs Die
POSTED: 7:21 a.m. EST October 27, 2003
SAN FRANCISCO -- A Canadian company has issued a pet food recall after several dogs died in California and more than a dozen other animals became sick.
Petcurean Pet Nutrition is recalling all of its Go! Natural pet food products after receiving reports of illnesses in animals that ate their food.
Officials of the Canadian company say they have heard of 14 dogs and cats in California falling ill, with seven of them dying. California veterinarians have reported more cases.
Go! Natural is touted in advertising as a top-notch product for dogs and cats that boasts one of the highest meat contents of any pet foods. It retails for $42.99 for a 30-pound bag.
A spokesman said the company is looking at one particular batch produced at a new Texas plant that may be responsible for the illnesses. The product is sold in the San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, Seattle and Denver areas.
Consumers who have questions abut the recall can call Petcurean toll-free at (866) 864-6112, Ext. 104.

I would definitely do a gradual change. a little egg first, then some meat.
My experience is that any drastic change in diet to a pooch touchy stomach produces demonic results.
My dog Huckleberry was a pound rescue. When we got him going on this diet WHOA BOY!!!! He could gag a maggot with the results. It took about a month before we could let him in the house! No he's fine and looks great.

I'll try that tonight . . . I'll mix some egg in with his Science Diet. Then tomorrow, we'll try some ground beef mixed in - or maybe wait until Wednesday. This would be cool if it works! As long as Salty doesn't go thermonuclear on us . . .

Dang it, I had a nice long lecture worked up, and saw your pithy summary.
Now all I can say is 'ditto' ;-)
Re: BSE for dog food. I did a few years in USDA (pronounced 'used ta' as in 'used ta haff ta work') - they continue to drop the ball on BSE. I think it's just a welfare agency, since of it's 100,000 employees, less than 10% are in food safety, and of the 'inspectors' almost a third are various bureaucrats and managers. Not much bang for the buck.

This reminds me of the Saturday Night Live bit about the rat poison sold in twenty-five pound bags with a picture of a dog on the front...something like:

Why not just buy the dogs real steak for that price?
Why buy dogfood at any price? My dog eats what I eat. I like my dog and would never consider feeding him bagged crap!

He's gonna like it. But go slow on the transition! I am not responsible for any burnt nosehairs, peeling paint or dizziness and nausea on your part!
