The video by NaturalBalance’s president makes the problem a little clearer for users of that brand. In short, Diamond Foods is a co-manufacturer of several formulas for different dog food companies and Diamond’s facilities are the problem.

My dog’s food is home cooked fresh low-fat pork loin suplemented with a handful of Natural Balance’s potato and duck small bites.

I bought a bag of Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Venison about a week ago. I throw away the sack after I put the food in a plastic container so I don't know anything else except that my 4 dogs are not showing any sign of illness.

Call your vet and give him a “clue”, because he apparently lost his...

[Ramcat]

Thanks man, good thinking.
Just picked up some Pro Bios from Tractor Supply.
Will start this evening.

In the approx half hour, since I posted the *Diamond* image above, I tracked down that the bag of Canidae we feed The Winchester isn’t in the recall. Phew! We wouldn’t have qualified for a return/rebate b/c we didn’t have the receipt.

Good night nurse...another thing to worry about. Geez.:(

Hug your pups for me!

This affects people not dogs. The people effected are immuned compromised (ex: AIDS patients). Dogs can eat rotten stuff (carrion) with no ill effects, people can’t.
I’ll just continue my policy of not eating dog food.

We did rice and ground beef with Cocoa too...I found it puked up in the back yard. She is 11 so that didn’t help. But she was bouncing around last night when it was time for the walk.

Just returned from Tractor Supply where I picked up some Pro Bios that Freeper Salamaner recommended. Josh was sitting at the door waiting for me, ready to play. Good sign. Hope Cocoa is well.

[Ramcat]

Sorry Salamander, I’m better with dogs than spelling.

[Son House]

Yep, my cat got sick, high fever and wouldn’t eat, Vet couldn’t figure out the cause, 2 over-nites and almost to the point of needing a feeding tube, I suspected it was Whiskas cat food in packets that originated from Thailand, I now look for made in USA. I don’t mind the cheap canned food so much because a cat in the wild would probably be eating a similar diet.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I’m sorry to hear that.

Which food were you feeding and was it on the recall list??

I ask as I have 4 bags if TOTW but the dates are *good*...

I’d consider doing raw..but what about when a person travels? Then what???

[Slings and Arrows]

May your dog recover fully and quickly.

[Slings and Arrows]

Gotta remember that non-salmonella thing...

[Slings and Arrows]

May she get better soon.

[netmilsmom]

Where are these foods made?

[Slings and Arrows]

Salmonella is a genus, not a species. S. typhi does cause typhus, but most salmonella poisoning is actually S. enteriditis.

[Slings and Arrows]

Beat me to it.

[Slings and Arrows]

No offense taken. Thanks for the update.

[Slings and Arrows]

May they stay so.
