Hello friends,
I was wondering if anyone fed this food to their Yorkie? My Jenna was placed on this diet some months ago as she had a sudden onset of intense vomiting and diarrhea that my vet couldn't determine the cause of so she thought this might help...and while I'm no fan of Purina I had little choice at the time. I've just tried warming a bit of this food in the microwave this morning and it threw sparks! Very alarming and not something I want to give my dog to eat now, not to mention how concerned I am that she's been eating it since sometime around March. We'll be having a checkup at the vet's this week, naturally.
Luckily I have her old Natural Balance canned diet and can give her that and her kibble today, but I'll be on the phone to Purina in the morning. I figured if anyone here also uses that food, you should have a heads up. There may be metal in the food or it may have leached metal from the can.

I'm located in Southwest Oregon and bought the food from my vet. Lot numbers to follow:

Just FYI!
