Dry dog food was not recalled, that is why you don't see the same cods…. only wet that is canned or in a foil pouch.... and only the kind that is chunky in gravy... Iams and Euk are not even on the list of ones recalled...
However as I posted on a different thread, I don't use anything with corn in it.. it is just a filler and has no useful properties for dogs... many Basenjis have allergies to corn.... Try a good quality food without corn, Canidea, California Natural are just a couple

I would like to believe that this is not deliberate, but what other explanation could there be?? Even if there is a rat problem at the plant, how could the poison get into the products themselves?

Rat poison…
OMG!!! These poor suffering loving pets and people who love them! This is an example of how this "world economy" is a mistake. The poison is illegal to use in the United States. So they use it in China and send the products on which the poison was used to the States? I wonder if this product from China has been sent to other countries. Shouldn't there be "global" Food & Drug laws? :mad: If not, this could be the 1st recipe for disaster! How are we going to make sure the food products we buy are not tainted by unsafe agricultural and processing methods off shore? We need some kind of regulated enforcement to test imported food products.
Darn! Now I'm all worked up! :mad: :mad: :mad:

In many parts of the world, rat poison is used in the fields and in the storage facilities to control the rats. It's not so much "world economy", but world politics. The US and Canada have higher standards that much of the world, and the pet food industry is an unregulated industry. That's why, we, as the consumers, should be demanding the same laws and standards for our pets as we do for ourselves.

Any news of if the dog food companies will be paying vet bills? I only heard on the news that they ask consumers to save receipts. They better be paying for this!

Now Alpo wet food is also recalled. I had friends of mine come over this weekend and to show there support, they brought our B some food. Unfortunantly it was nutra so I told them thanks but it's been recalled. They say the food was bought last year for their dog and it was left over. Well won't take a chance with the brand either way. But now this whole Alpo thing too. I worry that the food we're giving our B will be recalled also. Thinking of going for some natural homecooked food until this whole mess is fixed.
