I think we had a similar discussion during the Diamond recall, but the vast majority of kibbles are made at just a handful of plants.

Nutro, Natural Choice...Lamb Meal and Natural Rice formula.. that is what I feed my dog... I bought a new bag at Pet Smart yesterday...they assured me that her food was not recalled..but I see Nutro Natural Choice on this list.. Please advise..

[kaytris]

its the canned/semi moist pouch varieties, NOT the dry kibble

[bdk6069]

Thanks, after looking on the links...thanks Kzunell..I had just a moment of panic;;

[WeHeartLabs]

I would panic too...really. Every year or so there seems to be an incident in the dog food industry.
I am leaning more and more to feeding RAW.

[kaytris]

Then you have to worry about salmonella, ecoli, hormone and anti-biotic fed stock, choking, getting the balance of nutrients and ingredients right....

I think we need to remember that there have been 10 (I think) reported deaths, and the other recalls are precautionary only.

[WeHeartLabs]

10 that we know of...how many people's dogs died and they didn't connect it to the food? or suffered from complications...
I am not a hysterical type person. IT just seems to me that there are problems...serious ones, every year or 2. It is a cause for concern. And I naturally wonder, what can I do to avoid any harm coming to my dogs. If RAW feeding would eliminate some of those concerns, then I would do it.
