Another recall.

I'm going to keep feeding my dog table scraps for now. I usually give her Royal Canin breed specific dry food, and I haven't seen a recall for it, but to stay on the safe side, she eats what we eat--LOL!

TANKS a Bunch for the thread,,,all the Ol'Roy just went in the trash...

If anyone is looking for an American-made, American-ingredients, food made specifically for carnivores, try ABADY.

You'll have to call them and ask for the name of the distributor near you. 1-845-473-1900 Or if you're on the west coast, private message me and I'll give you the name/number of my distributor in Oregon who can ship by UPS to wherever you are.

There are no fillers in Abady, so you feed 1/2 - 2/3 as much as commercial foods. So be careful not to overfeed or your pet will probably get the runs. And if your pet has allergies, you'll be amazed at the difference on Abady. If anyone does try it, let me know how it works out for you.

I used to feed it but got lazy and had been feeding Iams for the last couple years. I just rec'd my order of Abady yesterday, and I'm very happy to be back to a GOOD food for my dogs. (They make cat foods too.)

Thank you for posting this.

Made in Mexico? Made in China? More fruits of uncontrolled "free trade" with third world cesspools? How long before most of OUR food is in recall mode?

[Domandred]

Jeez, this keeps up much longer and we are going to need a ping list for pet owners to keep up with it.

My Purina One is still safe so far

[ClancyJ]

I've been wondering about the Royal Canin foods also.

I'm now leery of all the dog foods since hearing all of these recalls.

[Grizzled Bear]

IIRC a certain Congresswoman, with a "D" next to her name, who is also speaker of the house is married to a man who is neck deep in Del Monte.

If it was an "R" next to her name the MSM would be playing up that angle.

Just an observation. By the way - NANCY PELOSI IS KILLING PUPPIES AND KITTIES!!!

[Political Junkie Too]

I know how you feel. I feed my dog Pedigree, which has not been on any list so far. For dry food, he gets Innova.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Pedigree is all my dogs are going to get for awhile, I can see...

[girlangler]

Might want to check out this FR thread on alternative food for your pets, since every day more recalls are announced:

Thx again for the ping, I appreciate. My little guy is not doing well at all. I look forward to seeing him running around again and harassing our Shelti.

[Danette]

bttt.......

I've always cooked my little dachsund's food, but he gets Ol Roy for treats.

Shandong Province. China seems to be where most of these
companies are from,,,these and others supply human food too. FYI.

[Political Junkie Too]

I started out cooking my doxie's meals, too, for at least a year. He always had a bowl of Innova dry food available, but I cooked his wet food. I guess I got lazy after a while and started giving him canned food. The only reason I chose Pedigree is that was what my sister was feeding to her dog.

-PJ

[Tolsti]

That's what my cat gets too, but I'm constantly watching. This is ridiculous.

I also hear Purina One is fairly mediocre food anyway.. But it sure is cheap and my cat likes it a lot.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

Hey There,,,Prayers Up for that lil'guy to get well soon,,,
Had Ol'Roy Jerky Strips,,,everything is "Wheat Gluten"!!

The FDA won't release the name of the company(FOX-NEWS)!!
This is so much Krap...

IMHO,,,people food will be on the list next week...

From www.petconnection.com:

"The most recent numbers from our Pet Connection database: (3/31 8:45 p.m. PT):

2,797 deceased pets (1,546 cats and 1,251 dogs). Remember, these are self-reported numbers, but there is now a widespread acknowledgement that thousands of pets have been made ill or killed by one of the recalled products.

Truth is, no one will ever really know how many there are."
