| SCARY is all I can say- I saw this on a bunch of yahoo groups yesterday It is the chicken formula correct? Is it diamond or menu foods that manufacture for them? I have always thought this was a great company so very disappointed |

If you'd like to find out more about diseases borne by pigeons, please see this site: http://www.pigeoncontrolsacramento.com/index-4.html I am just plain horrified by this problem that plagues food supplies-and by the fact that people just calmly accept it. "Oh, this bag is bad and all those bags last month or last year were bad. But the next bag I'll get from them will be fine. OR, that doesn't affect me because I dont feed that kind." That is, of course, if they even know about the recall in the first place! | |

| I believe LA is chicken based as the rescue i got demi from recommended it so i looked into it back then unless things have changed |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Yes, chicken and brown rice. Just enough starch to make the kibble also. Alot of dog foods use more because its a protein source. LA doesn't do that. |

| Boy it must be early~~I meant to say that Pebbles has a chicken and grain allergy. When I tried feeding the LA she was very allergic I believe to the chicken in the food. I am currently feeding the NB Lamb and Brown Rice. Whenever I have tried to add any type of chicken to her diet she immediately gets bad eye discharge and scratches like crazy. We just recently switched to the Lamb since NB changed the way they add sweet potato as their filler. So this leaves us with very few choices other then something that is LI with no SP starch or home cooking.

| here is thread with info the deal is done they own California Natural now http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-evangers.html I wish i was not so scared to homecook and did not work as I would prefer to do that. I would even hire someone to cook for mine if I could find someone to do so as this all scares me so much I bought a bag of dex food from vet purina ha and it had RAT POOP in it - DISGUSTING. The food is like corn pops and there was this hard poop in there that was brown with gray hairs sticking out of it. I returned it to vet and it was like no big deal. Called Nestle as they make this and they sent me COUPONS for more food - GREAT. I am stuck as it has kept dex from getting sick for 4 years as he cost me 10k over a year so too scared to do anything else |

| Bummer! My dogs are thriving on Natural Balance Ultra Premium Original, and I think I will continue for now. (Plus partial home cooking) Only certain varieties and sizes, are affected, and not in my state anyway. I am always thinking of what I'd switch to if I had to though.
