Pet Food Recall


Just wanted to pass on to all of our friends that Mars Petcare is recalling pet food for possible salmonella contamination. Many different brands are affected and you can see a list here.
Although the Wegmans Bruiser Medium Dog Biscuits are not on there-those are the ones I love, the Vet said to stop eating them and throw them away. I have vomited the past couple of days. Daddy and Aunt Pat thought it was from me eating grass, but now they're not so sure. Aunt Pat found an article here, and one here, as well as a blog post here about dogs eating the Nutro food-the same brand we ate. Katie's symptoms sure are similar to the other pets affected. Some of the Nutro foods were recalled last year, but ours weren't included. Daddy went to the pet store and the nice man there recommended this brand. We love it! Aunt Pat got some dry food as well, but we don't like that as much. The new biskees are pretty tasty, but they're a little hard for Katie and Chloe to chew, so they stick more with the soft treats and the occasional cheese cracker.

Katie's feeling much better! She finished with eating the human food -except for a little of the deli turkey on top, and eating the new canned food. She's also got more energy and is sleeping better. It doesn't hurt that we all love the new dog bed Daddy bought us at BJ's. He put it in the front bed room that Aunt Pat uses as her office. Now we have a comfy place to rest while Aunt Pat is on her computer, and another place to sleep.
