My mom sent me this in my e-mail this morning - she was SO WORRIED!! Luckily, none of my bunch eats any of these foods mentioned - WHEW! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

My babies love Wingaling and Smothered Comfort.

Emma eats Merricks wet and dry food also. She loves it :)
That food is not on the recall list, and I don't think it will be :)

New Article!!
 

Don't know if anyone has posted this or not. But it looks like they have been testing the bad food on animals and 7 out of 40-50 have died!!! Thats 15%!!! Geez, both of my older dogs are on Nutro Ultra Senior canned and dry. I checked the site and I have the same UPC on the cans as they list for Nutro but not the same date? and it doesn't say Ultra, just Nutro?? I have stopped giving it to them until I find out. This is verry scarry!!! My two Yorkies are on Nutro Natural small bites (dry) and canned but it is not the cuts and gravy style.

Doh, forgot the article link:

Has anyone gotten through to the 800 number??? I need to find out if it makes a difference if the UPC on the can is the same but the date on the bottom is different.

skoshi ate some of the nutro gourmet food in the pouch that has the bad dates on it! but the vet said if he hasnt had syptoms yet since its been a week then he probably wont

Our babies eat Merrick mixed in with Royal Canin and even though they weren't on the list, we called them today. They told us they grow and manufacture their own product, it's not outsourced. They said even though some really good dog foods are on the list, it's because they outsource them and they could have been made at the same locations as some of the other foods.
Big relief!

the list I read on the nutro did NOT include any dry food it said. I feed maggie nutro, natural choice small bites. But I had purchased about 5 packs of old roys filet mignon and been mixing about 1/3 pack with her dry food and it is on the list and all kinds of numbers. but she still had 3 1/3 packs left so last night I threw them all out but she had not eaten it but once in almost a week except for I think it was friday night and she hasnt acted any different. I found a new kind of food i've never heard of called three dog bakery. It is all human food, just dried altho it tells ya for sure not for human consumption of course. So I had been giving her about 3 tspns of it mixed with her small bites dry food for about a week until friday night. I gave her some more of the old roys pouch mixed with the dry and she ate it. So i'm gonna keep a close watch on her to make sure she is ok. I remembered why i started her on the 3 dog bakery cause she wouldnt eat once when i put the old roy in her dry food and I threw it out and waited about a week and thought she might like to have it again for a little change. and she wouldnt eat it until later that night then she cleaned her bowl. But i'm just hoping she wont be affected by it but she had had some several weeks with her food and was eating it good till that one time. anyway, she likes this 3 dog bakery food and shes been eating it good and i just mix it with a little dry food. Long time ago, i had been buying the mixable variety packs and mixing about 1/3 pouch with her food and now , that dang stuff shows up on the list too. But that was a couple months ago or longer.

Is this the list of the recall??? This is so scary!!

Pepper was eating those wet Nutro pouches (mostly beef gravy as he is not fond of chicken :( ) on and off since last fall, darn it. I'm a little scared, just checked the date of the one I just started last weekend and surely enough, it was January :mad: . I tossed it right away and I guess I'll steer clear from Nutro at all. He doesn't show any symptons, thank God, and I'm watching him, he didn't get a lot of it, maybe around 1-1.5 teaspoon daily. Maybe I ll run some tests though, he had blood tests done for liver and kidney functions before neuter last December and everything was fine.
