According to the FDA, Western Feed, LLC is voluntarily recalling two lots (M718430 and M720280) of Kountry Buffet 14% feed because it may contain monensin sodium (Rumensin).
The feed is packaged in 50 lb. bags bearing the Payback logo with the attached tag identifying the product as Kountry Buffet 14%.

Science Diet using polyethylene (plastic) on their foods

Apparently Science Diet has obtained a new patent for their pet food with a method that would increase the shelf life of their products. It's coating that consists of "low density polyethylene", which is basically PLASTIC!
LDPE is widely used for manufacturing various containers, dispensing bottles wash bottles, tubing, plastic bags for computer components, and various molded laboratory equipment. It’s most common use is in plastic bags.
a.. Trays and general purpose containers
b.. Corrosion-resistant work surfaces
c.. Parts that need to be weldable and machinable
d.. Parts that require flexibility, for which it serves very well
e.. Very soft and pliable parts such as snap-on lids
f.. Six pack rings
g.. Juice and milk cartons are made of liquid packaging board, a laminate of
paperboard and LDPE (as the water-proof inner and outer layer), and often
with of a layer of aluminum foil (thus becoming aseptic packaging).[4][5]
h.. Parts of computer hardware, such as hard disk drives, screen cards, and

j.. Plastic wraps

When we did recognize that something was going on with our dog, we did what we thought good pet owners are supposed to do. We took him back to the vet. The vet should have recognized that he was having an adverse reaction to the ProHeart6 that she administered to him (without our “informed” consent) only weeks earlier and treated him appropriately. If the vetrinarian had recognized his symptoms, he could have recovered. She did not, and as a result, our otherwise healthy dog died. Now, we are left waiting on the drug to work its way out of our remaining dog’s sstem praying that she does not fall victim to the same fate.
A vet that works for Pfizer, the drug manufacturer, contacted us today to ask us if we would let them do a necropsy on Jack. (They had already called the crematorium to make sure his body had not been cremated yet.) We agreed. In fact, we felt relieved and feel that we will get some answers soon. His body is now on the way to the University of Florida to be examined by experts.
Our other dog does not seem to be exhibiting the same symptoms ( thank goodness).
Pfizer called back today to let us know they were planning on reimbursing us for the money we paid to have Jack cremated.
His body is being sent to a different lab in Florida and it will be 4-6 weeks before we get a full necropsy report. They are doing tissue samples, toxicology… The whole nine yards.

Owner contacts FDA over suspect chicken jerky dog treats
STAUNTON - When Joann Loring's dog Rastaman started behaving strangely Tuesday night, pacing, hiccuping and trying to chew up everything, she wracked her brain trying to figure out what was wrong with her mutt.
"I didn't know what to do," Loring said.
After patting his stomach and getting him to burp a few times, Rastaman seemed to feel better, but Loring wanted to make sure whatever made him sick didn't happen again.
What she thought was likely the answer came a few days later when she saw an FDA warning someone had posted on Facebook, advising dog owners that certain brands of chicken jerky were causing pets to get sick and some to die.
Although they weren't recalled because the FDA couldn't discern what in the treats was harming people's pooches, they did issue a warning in November about certain brands of chicken jerky.
The FDA had previously issued warnings for chicken jerky products in 2007 and 2008, but complaints began to drop off. However, they are soaring again with more than 600 reports of sick or dead dogs.
FDA is advising consumers who choose to feed their dogs chicken jerky products to watch them closely for any or all of the following signs that can occur within hours to days of feeding the products: decreased appetite and activity, vomiting, diarrhea - sometimes with blood - increased water consumption and/or urination.
If the dog shows any of these signs, stop feeding the chicken jerky product, the FDA advises.
Owners should consult their veterinarian if signs are severe or persist for more than 24 hours. Although most dogs appear to recover, some reports to the FDA have involved dogs that have died.
Loring had been giving her dog Milo's Kitchen chicken jerky, one of the three big brands that the FDA is warning consumers about, as well as Waggin'
Train and Canyon Creek Ranch jerky treats or tenders, both produced by Nestle Purina PetCare Co.
She started giving her dog the treats a few days before he became sick.
Loring reported the incident to the FDA, and after a 20-minute conversation the representative told her to hang on to the packaging and said they might ask her to send it in.
Although the FDA has not recalled the treats, Loring said she wants to make sure no one else's pets suffer.
Rastaman is fine now.
MSNBC.com finds "3 big brands may be tied to chicken jerky illness in dogs"
Internal FDA documents obtained by MSNBC.com found references to "at least three popular brands of jerky treats that may be associated with kidney failure and other serious ailments."
http://www.truthaboutpetfood.com/articles/msnbccom-finds-3-big-brands-may-be-tied-to-chicken-jerky-illness-in-dogs.html
At the end of December, a local kennel donated 12 cases of Kirkland canned Lamb and Rice dog food. They said it was too rich for their dog because they all got sick. Did not think any problem with the food. I fed to my dogs, and to visiting dogs. Diarrhea for all dogs, puppy threw up 15 times. She survived... Tesla and Dino did not. I contacted the company on Jan. 3 to say all dogs got sick. They said they did not produce that food. Four weeks later, one dead dog, next week, another dead dog.
Again I contacted Costco, and they contacted the manufacturer. Mind you... similar food was recalled in 2007-2009 for melamine contamination. Over 400 dogs died.
I filed a report and waiting for request for the sample of food. I need to put out a warning of possible food contamination....is not verified yet...but the vet and I feel it will be. The*Kirkland Canned Lamb and Rice with expiration 2013. The cans I have say June 23, 2013*. Please let your friends know. It would have been purchased in Nov.-Dec. 2012.
Please anyone that has a can, contact me directly. Do not return to Costco.
We need to let everyone know so more dogs don't die.

Southern States Added to Feeds Recall List
Horse Journal just learned that horse feeds made by Southern States
Cooperative Milling's Gettysburg plant have been recalled for
elevated aflatoxin levels. The recall was issued on March 28, 2008,
but posted on the FDA web site on June 11. The recalled feeds are:
Reliance Hay Stretcher Pellet, lot G8015
Select 12P pelleted horse feed, lot G8018
The recall involved 1,124 bags (28.1 tons), which included some sheep
feed, and is ongoing. The feed was distributed in the following
states: Delaware, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania and Virginia. As of June 11, we found no notice on the
Southern States web site.
Horse Journal will continue to monitor the FDA's weekly enforcement
reports and keep you advised of any horse-related recalls--even if
they are several months after the fact.
We initially reported the first aflatoxin recall in our June 2008
issue. The full report is in our July 2008 issue, which will arrive
in your mailbox shortly. Recalled feeds include brands from Purina,
Farnam Platform and Tractor Supply's DuMOR feeds.

Subject: Jerky Treats
I am sending this message to everyone hoping that it might save a life. I just found out today about another problem with dog food/treats where ingredients came from China. This time it is chicken jerky treats. There has been no specific treat named.....just chicken jerky treats from that country.
One of the symptoms that eating these treats can cause is loss of appetite and weight loss as a result.
I had been feeding my kids chicken jerky treats that I bought at Smiths and a couple times at Walmart. They were Wagon Train jerky treats.
The package said they were all natural and 98% fat free. I thought I was feeding them something good. They all stopped eating. The vet thought it was due to the hot weather. Then Festis started getting sicker and ended up losing 5 pounds total. He started having seizures and then had the last one that was so bad we had to put him to sleep.
After hearing of this latest crap....I called the vets office. It all makes sense now. Why he stopped eating, why his blood work all came out fine...why we couldn't figure out what was going on. I stopped giving my kids the jerky treats after Festis passed away and their appetites came back.
I know this wasn't my fault. I know I thought I was doing the best for my kiddos. I just want everyone to know about this and to stop feeding this stuff to your dogs if you are. From this day forward I will make damned sure my dogs will never consume anything connected with products from China. First Peppermint was made sick from the first round (I was feeding her Organic dog food even) and now this At the advice of my vet I submitted a report to the FDA on their web site.

Aflatoxin contamination is a serious recall. The Kroger Customer Service number provided in the release was not open on the weekend; I do not know the actual manufacturer of these pet foods. The concern is the co-packing manufacturer using the same aflatoxin contaminated ingredients in other foods not yet recalled. Please be cautious of pet food/treats made with corn, wheat, or soy.

Texas company dog treat recall
It's the fourth time this year that Pet Care of Amarillo, Texas has recalled pet food possibly contaminated with salmonella. The recall has been expanded to include all ten-ounce packages of "Texas Hold'ems" and "Beef Filet Squares."
Salmonella is the genus name for a large amount of bacteria (over 2500). Each type is distinctly identifiable, but all are closely related. Salmonella causes diseases in humans, animals, birds, and especially poultry. The disease is characterized by symptoms referred to as food poisoning. For the most part, it is usually a mild disease, but nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea can cause dehydration and lead to more serious health consequences. Medical care is always advised.

not identified any contaminant.

If you choose to feed your dog chicken jerky products, watch the dog
closely. Stop feeding the product if your dog shows any of the following signs,
which may occur within hours to days after feeding the product:
- decreased appetite, although some dogs may continue to eat the treats
instead of other foods
- increased water drinking or increased urination Call your veterinarian if
signs are severe or last for more than 24 hours. Blood tests may indicate
kidney failure (increased urea nitrogen and creatinine). Urine tests may
indicate Fanconi syndrome (increased glucose). Although most dogs appear to recover,
some reports to FDA have involved dogs that have died. Consumers and

Salmonella can cause serious infections in dogs and cats, and, if

people as well, especially children, the aged, and people with
compromised immune systems. Healthy people potentially infected with
Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following
symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal

serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis,

The company stopped production at the Everson facility on July 29,
2008 when it was alerted of a possible link between dry pet food
produced at the plant and two isolated cases of people infected with
Salmonella Schwarzengrund.
Even though no direct link between product produced at Everson and
human or pet illness has been made, Mars Petcare US is taking
precautionary action to protect pets and their owners by announcing a

*Petco FDA food seizure*
FDA Requests Seizure of Animal Food Products at PETCO
Today, at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), U.S. Marshals seized various
animal food products stored under unsanitary
conditions at the PETCO Animal Supplies Distribution
Center located in Joliet, Ill., pursuant to a warrant
issued by the United States District Court in Chicago.
U.S. Marshals seized all FDA-regulated animal food
susceptible to rodent and pest contamination. The
seized products violate the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act because it was alleged in a case filed by
the United States Attorney that they were being held
under unsanitary conditions. (The Act uses the term
"insanitary" to describe such conditions).
During an FDA inspection of a PETCO distribution
center in April, widespread and active rodent and bird
infestation was found. The FDA inspected the facility
again in May and found continuing and widespread

*NOVARTIS DRUG VOLUNTARY RECALL BOTH POPULAR PET & HUMAN DRUGS***
Important info for you and your pets!
NOVARTIS manufacturing facility in Lincoln, Neb. have agreed to voluntarily shut down. It is unclear, but could be due to human medication errors is the pharmaceutical company that makes many popular human and pet medications.
I have included a list of those included in this "voluntary recall". Pug Planet uses Interceptor, heartworm preventative for all our rescues year round. Hopefully this does not raise the price of the competitor's products! As of the latest update Feb. 29th 2012 the company has no idea when they will be able to reship product!
So, what does this mean for you and your pets? In order to prepare so that your pet does not receive a delay in treatment please call veterinarian to plan a course of action. Your vet can recommend an alternative, so as to avoid any interruption in your pet’s therapy.
Is your dog or cat currently taking a Novartis product? If so, which one?
Interceptor Flavor Tabs® (heartworm preventive
Clonicalm SEE LETTER FROM NOVARTIS BELOW (used for Separation Anxiety)
Due to potential packaging issues at our manufacturing facility, there is a rare possibility that a wrong tablet may be found in bottles of CLOMICALM®. Novartis has not received any reports where a patient experienced a product mix-up, nor has Novartis received any adverse events attributable to a product mix-up. However, as a precautionary measure, we would like to extend the following recommendations.
As far as human meds are concerned: Bufferin and Gas-X Prevention products with expiration dates of Dec. 20, 2013 or earlier. Novartis says the products may contain stray tablets, capsules or caplets from other Novartis drugs.

CVM Updates > FDA Advises Veterinarians of Recent Recall of Human Drug,
Phenobarbitol_
(http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm246624.htm )
On February 5, 2011, Qualitest Pharmaceuticals voluntarily recalled several lots of Phenobarbital 32.4 mg and Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Acetaminophen Tablets 10 mg/500 mg due to a label mix-up between the two drug products. Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Acetaminophen Tablets were incorrectly labeled as Phenobarbital tablets 32.4 mg. As a result of this mix-up, pets may
unintentionally be given Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen tablets instead of the intended drug, Phenobarbital.
CVM has recently received 3 serious adverse event reports involving dogs treated with Phenobarbital tablets manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals. One report cited two of the three affected lot numbers for the recalled product. The remaining two reports did not provide the lot numbers

Limited Recall of a Heartworm Medication
Tue Jun 10, 2008 4:51 am (PDT)
Mon Jun 9, 2008 8:42 pm (PDT)
FDA News FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 5, 2008 Media Inquiries: Kimberly Rawlings and Mike Herndon, 301-827-6242Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA FDA Announces Limited Return of Heartworm Drug to U.S. Market The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced a limited return of a reformulated heartworm prevention drug for dogs, which had been withdrawn because of serious, life-threatening adverse reactions, including loss of appetite, lethargy; vomiting, seizures, difficulty walking, jaundice (a yellowish appearance); and bleeding disorders, allergies, convulsions, followed in some cases by death. ProHeart 6 (moxidectin) Sustained Release Injectable for Dogs, NADA 141-189, manufactured by Fort Dodge Animal Health, Overland Park, Kan., is an approved Injectable sustained-release heartworm prevention product for dogs. FDA is concurring with its limited return to the U.S. veterinary market under a risk minimization and restricted distribution program designed to
manage the re-introduction of ProHeart 6 to provide for safe, appropriate use of the product while minimizing risk to dogs. "This is the first veterinary drug to be marketed under a risk minimization and restricted distribution program. Numerous drugs for use in people have been successfully marketed under similar programs," said Bernadette Dunham, D.V.M., Ph.D., director, FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. "While we concur with the limited return of ProHeart 6 to the U.S. market, we strongly encourage veterinarians and pet owners to report any possible adverse reactions." Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition for dogs. The parasite that causes heartworm disease is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito. The risk minimization and restricted distribution program is intended to educate veterinarians and pet owners regarding the possible risks associated with the use of ProHeart 6. Therefore, Fort Dodge Animal Health is requiring veterinarians
who wish to purchase ProHeart 6 to register with the company and participate in a Web-based training program prior to obtaining the product. The return of ProHeart 6 to the market is based on results of additional toxicological and pharmacologic studies by Fort Dodge Animal Health coupled with the low adverse reaction frequency in international markets. In 2004, Fort Dodge Animal Health agreed to voluntarily recall the product from the market based upon FDA's concerns regarding reports of serious adverse reactions in dogs following the use of ProHeart 6. In response to FDA's concerns, the manufacturer conducted additional testing of its product, which indicated that residues of the solvents used in the manufacture of ProHeart 6 may cause allergic reactions. The manufacturer has improved the manufacturing specifications for ProHeart 6 to decrease the presence of those residues and has marketed the product in international markets. Few adverse events have been reported with
this reformulated product. The ProHeart 6 label and Client Information Sheet have been revised to include updated safety information. The new label includes warnings not to administer the drug within one month of vaccinations, and to use the product with caution in dogs with pre-existing allergic diseases including food allergies, allergic hypersensitivity, and flea allergy dermatitis. The label also warns against administering the drug to dogs who are sick, debilitated, underweight, or who have a history of weight loss. In addition, the label's Post-Approval Experience section has been updated to include information about adverse reactions based on voluntary post-approval drug experience reporting. Dog owners who suspect their dog is experiencing an adverse reaction to ProHeart 6 should immediately contact their veterinarian to initiate appropriate veterinary care. Veterinarians should contact Fort Dodge Animal Health to report any adverse events at (800) 533-8536.

Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker's chocolate

and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the

A slice of avocado may be the perfect addition to your sandwich, but it can have serious consequences for our feathered and furry friends. According to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center in Urbana, IL, pet poisonings from avocado and avocado-based foods like guacamole are a consistent risk. In 2008, the Center managed 115 cases involving ingestions of avocado, and though an overwhelming 83 percent of those incidents involved dogs, the most devastating effects were seen in birds, rabbits and certain large animals like horses and cattle.
A native of Central and South America, avocado (Persea americana) is a subtropical tree that produces a pear-shaped fruit prized for its high fat content, vitamin-rich “meat” and smooth texture. Unfortunately, the fruit also contains a toxin called persin that’s harmful to animals.
"Avocado leaves, fruit, seeds and bark all contain the toxic principle known as persin,” says Dana Farbman, CVT, Senior Manager of Professional Communications at APCC. In curious canines, clinical signs of ingestion can include gastrointestinal distress, vomiting and diarrhea. Typically, these effects are seen in dogs who’ve nibbled on significant amounts of a tree’s fruit or branches.

He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet and his renal values continued to increase daily. He produced urine when given lasix as a diuretic. He was on 3 different anti-vomiting medications and they still couldn't control his vomiting. Today his urine output decreased again, his BUN was over 120, his creatinine was at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his blood pressure, which had been staying around 150, skyrocketed to 220 ... He continued to vomit and the owners elected to Euthanize.

Pet health care on a budget is possible once you realize that you cannot do it by cutting corners on food or supplements! The actual cost of 3 vet visits a year (including annual check up) is hundreds-of-times more expensive than the difference in cost between low quality pre-packaged food and better food combined with a high performance supplement program.
