Dr. Russell comments:
This recall appears on Graigslist on December 12th. We have been unable to confirm this voluntary recall on the Solid Gold website this morning, December 14th. However, we note that this is the second recall attributed to mold involving Solid Gold pet foods this Fall. In October, Solid G old issued the following warning:
Tiny Tots Dog Treat Voluntary Product Withdrawal

Due to some instances of mold growth in a single batch of Tiny Tots, we have decided to voluntarily withdraw the entire production run from the market. We would like to assure our customers that there have been no reported serious health effects on dogs that have consumed Tiny Tots from this batch.
If you have a bag of Tiny Tots with a Best Before date of April 2009, please return it to your retail store for a full refund. No other batches of Tiny Tots or any of our other jerky treats are affected.
