| There was also a recall on River Run and Marksman, made by Cargill. I've never heard of those brands (but have heard of Cargill). Might as well mention this recall here, too. Although it was only very large size bags, so I doubt anyone here would be feeding that to a small yorkie. Cargill Animal Nutrition Recalls River Run and Marksman Dry Dog Food If there are two manufacturers that have announced a recall in the same day, this could be the tip of an iceberg (or not). Gotta be aware.
