Pet Food Alert!!!


 Dog Food & Treats Being Recalled

                                                                                                                                       April 11th 2007

Unfortunately I am hearing of more and more dogs and cats that are sick or have died due to the contaminated food.  And the recall list keeps growing!. Nutro products were just added yesterday (April 10).  The recall now includes canned food, dry food, and many treats. My friend Lisa's dog Jake died last week, not from the food, but from cancer. At the crematorium the first question they asked my friend was if her dog died because of the poisoned food.  The woman there had seen many pets that had died from contamination even prior to Menu Foods admitting there was a problem. 
 This is very scary stuff. 

I pray that none of your pets have been victims of this contamination, although all of us as animal lovers are affected.  There is no FDA overseeing pet food and what goes into making it, although I suspect that this catastrophe will change things.  

The following link from the American Veterinary Medical Association gives an up-to-date listing of foods involved.  Click on  http://www.avma.org/aa/menufoodsrecall/products.asp for a list of recalled foods.  Also www.menufoods.com keeps updating their list.  Make sure to check the removed items as well as the recall removes products that are supposedly expired and should have been removed from shelves.  I know that I have purchased expired dog food from pet stores in the past so it’s a good idea to check that list as well. 

A great number of my dog training clients past and present have asked me for advice about what to feed their dogs and cats.  As many of you know I feed Life’s Abundance and have for a number of years.  I was so pleased with the product that I actually became a distributor.  This is what I recommend and what I feed my own dogs.  Life’s Abundance is manufactured by Healthy Pet Net.  They are not part of the recall; use only human grade ingredients; and do not use wheat or corn in their products.  (Remember that corn was the culprit in the Diamond Dog Food recall two years ago?)  Wheat and corn should not even BE in pet food!  It is not digestible and is linked to many allergy and behavior problems.  You can find more information by going to http://www.healthypetnet.com/canineworld/

Remember that any sudden change in diet can affect a dog’s intestinal tract and cause some stomach upset, although right now that is the least of our worries.  Normally I would recommend a gradual change in food, but it is important to stop using any potentially contaminated food or treats immediately.  Things may get a little gassy…..but it’s worth it!
