Not to be the one always talking about toxins and dog food or anything but this link below takes you to a site with a listing of all the pet foods involved in the Mars Pet Food recall. Apparently, a PN plant somehow had gotten a rare strain of Samonella in the dry dog/cat food and humans were getting sick from it. The CDC reported that 79 people had been affected.

This doesn't effect me because Beegin's food isn't on this list, but in case it may effect others, I just wanted to let people know.

@jengosmonkey said in Just saw this article - Popular flea collar reportedly linked to 1,700 pet deaths...:

The subcommittee asked the company ... to issue full refunds to customers affected.

So, your dog/cat dies from the collar and Congress sets a price on that loss equivalent to the price of the collar? Which is what? $20-30 (USD)? Clearly, our Congressional members are not dog lovers!

I would say it could be suspicious, and unfortunate that dogs died. But Debra is right, necropsies need to be performed to be sure. Dogs get into so many things without our knowledge.

On the other hand, I never use these chemical flea medicines. I tried the topical ones and they burned the fur right off my dogs. These medicines are pesticides and if you read the labels they say to be careful and not to apply to human skin - safe really? I've gone to herbal (Doc Akerman's for example, no cloves) sprays even though they need to be applied every day. My excellent rabbit hunters often come back not only with the rabbit but also the rabbit's fleas. I've seen the fleas die and drop off immediately when sprayed. The ones with citronella also keep mosquitoes away.

Fortunately bloat is more prevalent in the larger dogs,but can happen to any size. Friends with Great Danes were advised by their vet to use elevated feeders, saying that there is less gulping of air if the food is at the correct height. While I am not too worried about bloat, I got elevated feeders and my dogs like them. A small thing to do that helps with digestion.
