Royal Canin just pulled foods. - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Amando · 04-20-2007, 11:13 AM

RC's Yorkshire 28 and Mini Puppy 33 are not on the recall list. Here is a link to the products that haven't been recalled.

http://www.royalcanin.us/safelist.html

It looks like RC is doing the recall as a preventative. They haven't seen any dogs/cats get sick from their products, yet. At least they're not waiting for animals to die before recalling the food!!

Baby Blessing · 04-20-2007, 11:31 AM

I went to the Royal Canin site but I can't get anything on the recalls.
Could someone pm me or let me know which one it is. Baby Blessing and Dollie are both on Royal Canin dry foods. I just put Dollie onto the Royal Canin when we got her this week, MINI PUPPY 33 and Blessing is on the Royal Canin Mini Yorkshire. What in the world is going on with all this recall of the foods for our precious ones, something is terribly terribly wrong here, pray that we will know soon was it behind this. It is very very scarey. I have already started looking in to putting ours on human food. Thanks for anyone to help me know on this.

Thanks all 3 of mine are on the Sensible Choice Natural Blend but I have stopped it today. Not taking any chances.

Here's the link to Royal Canin for recall information...This is the safe list: http://www.royalcanin.us/safelist.html

tiggerr36792 · 04-20-2007, 11:51 AM

I have done tons of pet food research to see what at this point is the safest alternative for those of us who cant always home cook at all times...Here's what I found to be my best choices at this point and why.... I am putting all my dogs on Eukanuba Dog Food due to the fact that the only recall that Eukanuba and Iams has had is a small amount of wet food only...This company doesnt put wheat gluten or rice protein in any of their dry dog foods. So far this seems to be the only one I have found to guarantee they dont use either of these recalled ingredients..
Best is home cooking of course, but of us who cant Im switching to Eukanuba who also makes Iams. Just wanted to share my findings!!

Thanks for this information. Dollie was on Iams, I changed to the RC thinking it was better

putting her back temporary on the Iams till I can figure out what to fix for them in home cooked foods.

I'm not one to preach, and I'm not sure if this matters to you all or not, but Iams/Eukanuba (both owned by Proctor & Gamble) supports and engages in animal testing.

the phone # on royal canin webiste, uh, they WILL answer it and did. Was 6pm here. The Yorkshire Terrier 28, was Not recalled. Just the ones on the website. They are not the yorkshire terrier ones.

Guy told me that on the phone. And as soon as I saw that on the news, I dropped everything, looked at the bag, hit mute on tv, and got on the phone!!

You should know by the bag if its one of yours or not, but from what I understood, none of the "yorkshire terrier" foods were affected. I feed adult and puppy.

I never did find the expiration date on my bag. Thank God, for some dumb reason, I kept the bag, as I usually put it in a large bin with a tight cover, and chunk the bag. I will never throw away another dog food bag.

And website also says they will not be getting any other ingredent from China, anymore.

Ok, now that I bout fell out with heat attack, think I'll calm down.

Ok, now that my heart attack is over, think I'll go take a bath.

Gracie2006 · 04-20-2007, 05:06 PM

I'm sorry but I just don't trust any food with grain in it. I went to my favorite specialty pet store today in search of an alternative for my 4 cats. I had just switched them to Royal Canin after the Natural Balance was recalled. I got the lecture it was only the Sensible choice and prescription pet foods that were affected. I told them I cannot trust any food with grain in it. The gal politely agreed. So I will keep this unopened bag of Royal Canin until I hear that testing finds it to be safe. This is so scary. I half wonder if it is not terrorism. Go after the pet food, then the people food! I vote to stop buying anything food wise not grown and manufactured in the USA, whether it is pet food or people food.

max's mom · 04-20-2007, 07:53 PM

I just talked to RC's hotline......the mini puppy 33 has not been recalled and the Yorkshire Terrier 28 is safe...... according to them as well.

I have been feeding them chicken breast but our vet said to supplement it with dog food to get a balance of nutrients.

This is a nightmare.

I am going to PetSmart tomorrow to see what is still on the shelves.\

EEK!!!!!

I wasnt aware of this. Thx for the information, I'm going to do a much more detailed research as I dont support animal testing and was not aware of this.

Marcellacml · 04-20-2007, 08:15 PM

omg so what food IS safe? This is so ridiculous and why are all these companies hiding out why don't the just come out and say that the food maybe contaminated ...no they wait till someone reports a sick pet.

nicoler117 · 04-22-2007, 03:34 PM

According to the website, no puppies got sick or died from Royal Canin food but they decided to pull it voluntarily just to be safe. I hope that is true. I feed my pup Mini Puppy 33 which is not on the list. Should I still be scared and switch foods? I am due to buy more food anyway but I don't know whether or not to continue to by from RC. My dog really likes the food and I've been really happy with it up until this point.

winniethepooch · 04-23-2007, 12:40 PM

I'm freaked out...this happened while I was on vacation and Winnie was in the kennel eating the food that I brought which of course is on the recall list!!! Since I've been back I switched her to canidae but I'm still worried about her. I know I'm being paranoid, but I might take her to the vet even though she seems fine.

stedmansmommy · 04-23-2007, 08:53 PM

Oh NO

Not again

I am saying a little prayer for everyone who feeds this...I hope that all of your babies will be alright

This whole recall thing is just AWFUL
