RE: Recalled Dog Product Info

[Guest guest]

I agree that there is more. I lost 2 dogs in August & September last year.

One was eating Iams wet packs of food, the other was on a special food for

allergies, Trout & Sweet Potato. It cost us a fortune in vets with no

answers. In November we bought a pup who almost died after giving her some

of the leftover trout dog food. She is 6 months now and still not right. I

knew in November it was the dog food. I am amazed that it is this

widespread. I'd really appreciate a home made recipe for dog food if anyone

has one.

I lost two dogs over this. I would recommend not using the food at all

regardless of codes and dates. Something is not right, I do not think this

was a unique occurrence. It has yet to be explained how the poison got in

the food. I feed mine fresh meat but had been in the hospital and

I seen on the news that the recalled dog food was poisoned with arsenic and the

news said something about how it alledgedly came from the wheat, and that it may

affect more than just the dog food at this point?

 

 

Has anyone else heard anything about this? I was on my way out the door at the

time and could not watch the whole story, and of course it has not been

repeated.

 

Thanks,

Hi Shannon,

 

We've been following this recall quite closely on all of the holistic canine

care lists since the news broke. The contaminated (rodent poison) wheat was

brought in from China. We have had sporadic unconfirmed reports coming in that

kibble marketed by two BIG name pet food companies is also suspect, but there

is nothing " official " being said yet.

 

We are also hearing that sales of frozen raw food diets have increased over

the past week as people realize they have NO control over what they are feeding

their animals if it comes out of a bag or a can or a pouch. Interestingly

enough, we recently had word out of Belgium of a study that proved dogs who are

fed table scraps are healthier than their commercially fed brethren. I

wouldn't go so far as to say that table scraps are appropriate as a steady diet

for

any dog, as I know a raw diet is the foundation of supreme health, but it

certainly gives one pause to think.

 

But, as tragic as this fiasco is, there is a ray of hope. Raw feeding and

holistic canine care lists are hopping with activity as a flood of new members

present their many questions. People are waking up!!!
