[stedmansmommy]

Oh my gosh, I am so, so sorry. This is just terrible. Reading all this stuff just makes me so sad for everyone...

O my gosh! I can't belive this I have never feed this to my yorkie but when we got our shnauzer in febuary this is what they were feeding her and she refused to eat anything else she would go without eating till I finally gave in a bought her some. Thank God I finally got her to eat canidae now I am wondering if this is why she acted so sick when we brought her home?

We have tried many brands, chicken soup, kibbles, Yorkie brands and just so many, and they just wont eat it, so we always go back to the beneful because they need to eat some thing. and I knew it was not good for them, but what do you do when they refuse to eat any thing else?

I fed mine beneful a few weeks ago cause we couldn't go to the petstore and they're fine now..I hope your furkids are okay too.

I would NOT feed anything to my Yorkies that has had a recall in ANY of their products...dry or moist.

I ahve already gone thruogh buying two bags of dog food only to have a recall the next week after I bought it.

I am now feeding my 2 yorkies Innova....check out their website. I am using the adult dry food. So far so good. It does not contain rice protien.

Hope this helps. And please stay clam. We just may have to keep switching foods. Just keep a close eye on your kids for any kind of strange behavior.

My boys are doing great on Solid Gold. I have them on Just A Wee Bit. They prefer the Hund-U- Flocken, but I put them back on the just a wee bit because they were having too many stools with the Hund-Un-Flocken. Not diarrhea, just lots of stool.

I hope and pray Mickey's recovery continues without a hitch.

beneful has been making dogs sick for a long time. it just doesn't agree with some of them. it usually only causes upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea. I've never heard of it producing problems like your mickey has. I saw a lot of cases where dogs were getting sick and we couldn't figure out why until we found of they were on beneful. we told them to switch right away and the problems went away.

well our next foods to try is Solid gold webits, Innova, canidea and wysong. well all but Mickey hes gonna have to get on and stay on the prescrition diet foods.

Remember you're doing the right thing. You've kept the food he was eating when he got sick. You've reported his illness, the vet knows what he's been through. It will all work out, just concentrate on getting him well. There are an awful lot of horror stories out there about pet food right now, don't jump to conclusions...If it turns out that it was the food, they'll find out, Mickey just needs to be taken care of, first things first, okay? Think about his improvements...there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Don't make yourself sick, you're already worried enough. But as I told you in the beginning, if you're not satisfied with the medical care he's getting, take him for other opinions, 2nd, 3rd...how ever many it takes to get quality care. Keep good records of everything, from the beginning and most of all do not give up on him!!! He's worth it, and his health depends on you keeping a level head, you have to stay strong and determined. We'll continue to get through this, we're all together in this fight for Mickey's life. Take care, hugs & prayers...

yes Im putting it all a side and just not going to worry about it, I have all his vets appts and dates cost all documented and I have saved the food, so setting it all a side and just worrying about getting my little boy better. If the food does get recalled I have all I need. If not then I still did what I needed to do.

Amen, and that's the truth!!!
