When you store the food make sure it's in some sort of sealed container that way it doesn't attract the bugs.
Just a little FYI in case anyone here didn't know. My hubby is in public health and he just loves grossing me out with info on all the nasty little bugs..ick! |
Thank you...that's what I thought at first but I think they are grain mites. I had time to look into it further and Beneful had problems with this last year. From what I've read they never did a recall on the food even though pets were getting sick. This makes no sense to me at all. I'm going to try to get a hold of my daughter later and have her save any receipts that have to do with this infestation. BTW, my daughter doesn't like bugs and is totally freaked out by this.
If anyone is interested, this is a link to one article about Beneful:
