 IMPORTANT INFO - Canidae Dog Food
I received this from a rescue group I adopted from and wanted to pass it on to all of you. I didn't see it anywhere else, but if I missed it and this is a repost, I apologize. It is still worth a second look.

Madison, Wisconsin, January 26, 2009 – A class action lawsuit has
been filed on behalf of dog owners nationwide against the makers of
CANIDAE brand dog food, seeking payment of veterinarian bills for
dogs who allegedly took ill after consuming the food between last
summer and the present. The lawsuit also asks the Court to order the
defendants, Canidae Corporation and Diamond Pet Foods, to launch a
corrective informational campaign. Affected dogs have experienced
rectal bleeding, loose and bloody stools, lethargy, and death,
according to consumer complaints posted on internet forums and
websites.
"We can't push back the clock: if hundreds or thousands of dogs have
suffered, that can't be reversed. But the lawsuit at least gives dogs
and their owners an avenue for redress," stated Ilan Chorowsky, one
of the plaintiff's lawyers with the Progressive Law Group, which has
offices in Madison, Wisconsin and Chicago, Illinois. The Animal Law
Center, Rosner & Mansfield LLP, and Doyle Lowther LLP also represent the plaintiff. |
