Dog & Pet Food: Health Safety Recall Warnings
It's time to buy a new bag of dog food. Yes, I, Tuck the Law Dog, eat commercial dog food. However my Mom supplements it with baked chicken, boiled pork, broiled beef, fresh veggies and fruits, and rice. Mom was very active in the Pet Food Recall of 2007 (I wasn't born yet), spending a lot of time on her computer getting the word about about recalled food, opinions on what brands were ok for us to eat, feedback about how manufacturers were responding to the recall, etc. On Tuesday, Mom "Googled" the brand of dog food (premium, good quality ingredients) she needed to get for me, and lo and behold she found numerous and recent (January 2012) complaints about a recent "Lot" of this food at www.consumeraffairs.com. She then spent hours researching other dog foods, settling on two that received "5" stars by www.dogfoodadvisor.com, as well as good reviews by other users. Mom does rotate my dog food thru 3 different types to make sure that I am getting all my needed nutrients. Anyway, I'm not here to recommend any brand or tell y'all what to eat. I just want to warn you of the importance of always checking for recalls, opinons and reviews on dog food because you never know when an issue will arise. Do NOT depend on the manufacturer to post a warning on their website. Usually it is other consumers on the numerous websites concerning dogs, cats, etc., who get the word out about pet foods causing sickness and medical issues. Mom likes these sites: www.itchmoforums.com, www.petsitusa.com, www.zootoo.com, and FDA's website.
Also read the user reviews on the websites that sell dog food. Let's keep each other informed.
Healthy Eating, my friends,

Dog Food and FDA Warning Letters
I just heard Mom let out a big sigh of relief. She had just read about the latest May 5, 2011, FDA letter to Evanger’s Pet food in Illinois:
http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/ucm255000.htm
and was thankful that I am allergic to duck and would never had bought this product, and thankful that she no longer buys from this manufacturer due to the highly publicized articles in the news about Evangers manufacturing plant’s questionable quality control, and the owner’s arrests for allegedly diverting gas from the plant’s gas meter. Note that the owners have been charged but not yet convicted. After the pet food recall of 2007, Mom follows many pet message boards daily and gets emails daily about recalls related to pet food, pet toy, anything pet, as well as recalls concerning you humans. I am not singling out Evangers, as there are numerous other pet food manufacturers that have been cited for questionable and dangerous manufacturing of pet food, but citing this as a recent FDA warning letter that dog owner’s should be aware of.
Why would Evanger’s do anything that would send the wrath of the FDA down upon them, considering their history of involvement with the FDA. Maybe the FDA is wrong this time–I don’t know, but the Evanger’s have posted a letter on their website with a copy of an independent test result on this food, these test results apparently contradicting the FDA. Mom had just hoped and prayed that she wouldn’t have to worry about what she fed me. She reviews the history of every dog food prior to feeding it to me, and I also eat home-cooked meat and vegetables and fruit.
I’ve dodged another bullet.
"One is innocent until proven guilty!”
Take care, ya’ll,
