pet food recall list ????
 

My mom called this morning that they added my yorkies favorite chicken treats to the pet food recall list, does anyone have that web site handy???

The best source is to go to itchmo.com and sign up for their email recall alerts. You can also get info at American Veterinary Medical Association website. I think they have a list at the avma site and they add alerts on the front page as news breaks.

Thank you very much, i am never ever buying anything from CHINA again...
for my dogs, baby, food or even clothes made in China...... if it's not made in America it's off my list.....

I switched to all natural food last weekend, and it hasn't made the recall list, yet. :) I also use all natural treats. :thumbup:

Thank you for posting that :thumbup:

You know, I thought that I wouldn't buy anything from China again. Well, that is really hard. Ninety percent of vitamin C, seventy percent of I think antibiotic, and fifty percent of aspirin come form there. Most tuna comes from China. The apple juice that I used to drink comes from there. We switched to a brand that uses Michigan apples. Even if a company says all foods are sourced from the US, who is to say that the people that they got their ingredients from didn't get them from out of the country? It is really frustrating.:mad:

What is going on!!!!!!
 

Are these people over there trying to get rid of us or something...We are going to have to start growing our own food. And WHY! in GOD'S name do we still buy products from them!!!! Is this the only place we can buy from!! What is WRONG with these people!!

i think they are trying to kill us, my husband thinks im crazy,, i switched everything, especially my baby food, and toys,,, but everything from fisher price and mattel are made in China,,,, i especially watch my fruits and veggies we eat.... im big on salads now... it's very hard to find stuff made in America,,, what is wrong with us is right???? America products for this girl....

i have to have natural food for my girl Haley and now Harley they have allergies, the chicken treats where all natural the brand was Waggin Train and of coarse there from China.... i have to find something different to give them now that was there favorite treat... there is alot on that recall this that is "all natural foods" its scary

I use Smoke House brand treats, don't know if they are from China or not. Then the Solid GOld, which is the food I feed them, I am not sure where it is from. I am going to do some research it now!

Solid Gold is made in the US!!!! http://www.solidgoldhealth.com/faq/ Except for the Tuna brand, and I don't use that one!

If you are talking about the treats that Wal-Mart quietly removed from their shelves, the last that I knew it wasn't on the recall list yet but pets had become sick and one woman's chi died. I believe her chi had salmonella. I haven't had time to peruse the recall list yet, but this is the one you want to keep a close watch:

Here's an article from yesterday:

U.S. Is Checking Dog Treats Wal-Mart Says Are Tainted

The Food and Drug Administration said yesterday that it was checking dog treats recently withdrawn from Wal-Mart’s shelves but had not yet detected any chemical or biological contamination in the Chinese-made products.

A spokeswoman for Wal-Mart Stores, the world’s largest retailer, said it was aware of other companies’ selling the suspect products to pet owners.

And China, on the defensive over the safety of its products, lashed out at the United States yesterday by claiming that American soybean exports contained pesticides, poisonous weeds and dirt.

Wal-Mart, based in Bentonville, Ark., said this week that it had stopped selling Chicken Jerky Strips from the Import-Pingyang Pet Product Company and Chicken Jerky from Shanghai Bestro Trading in July, after customers said the products sickened their pets.

Wal-Mart said 17 tests showed trace levels of melamine, the same pesticide byproduct that led to a widespread pet food recall in March after an unknown number of dogs and cats died.

An F.D.A. spokeswoman, Kimberly Rawlings, said yesterday the agency was actively investigating Wal-Mart’s products in light of the store’s removal of the items from its shelves.

She also said in an e-mail message to The Associated Press that the agency had reviewed Wal-Mart’s lab report that mentioned 20 parts per million of melamine. “This level of melamine would not be expected to result in any animal illness,” she said.

A Wal-Mart spokeswoman, Deisha Galberth, said that with such small amounts of melamine found, its laboratory recommended more testing.

Ms. Galberth said Wal-Mart was aware of other retailers that were selling the products, but she declined to identify hem.

More than 150 brands of pet food were recalled this year after American inspectors said wheat gluten from China that had been used to make the food was tainted with melamine. An unknown number of dogs and cats died.

Since then, other Chinese products, including tires, toothpaste, seafood, juice and toys decorated with lead paint have been recalled or come under scrutiny.

A distributor has announced a recall in Australia and New Zealand of Chinese-made blankets found to contain high levels of formaldehyde, a potentially cancer-causing chemical preservative that gives a permanent-press finish to clothes.

Beijing has tried to defend its safety record and reassure consumers by highlighting similar problems in other countries.

“Numerous quality problems” have been found with American soybeans, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, a Chinese watchdog agency, said in a notice posted yesterday on its Web site.

In February, one batch of beans was found to contain pesticides that constituted a “great potential hazard to the food safety of Chinese consumers,” it said.

Soybeans, which are mainly crushed for oil and used as animal feed, are the biggest single United States farm export to China, according to the American Soybean Association.

I would too!

I didn't see a brand called "waggin train" on the recall list, but if it is made in china I wouldn't feed it to mine.

i just called wal mart - they pulled a couple of them, and one was "waggin train" she told me to bring it back and get a refund and i asked why it was pulled and she said she couldn't answer that, it just was recalled... so i gave them some yesterday, what should i do ... Harley just came from the vets !!!

Just don't feed them anymore. If you buy treats for your doggies, look at the box or package to see WHERE they are made.

im going back to drsfostersmith, should of stayed with them, maybe that's what made Harley sick, i thought it was Chem lawn, oh boy... never ending, no more China nothing for me.....

WEll you know Dr.Foster and Smith is having a great sale!!!! I just got some of there catalogs, and if you don't receive them and you request them you get a $5 off coupon!!!!

Double check the drsfostersmith first. I think they are listed as being recalled at one point per itchmo.com

Well, I wouldn't buy anything on-line or through catalogs unless you can first verify WHERE they are made as well as the ingredients. If they have any kind of GLUTIN in the ingredients, run for your life. Always check the Made in country as well as the ingredients.

Also, I want you guys to look at this. It was posted in April of this year and they are talking about Waggin Train:

Apr 14, 2007
