Urgent! Dog food recall

Now that I have calmed down a bit :) I have been online looking for dog food recipes. I went with the brand they were eating because it is made for tiny dogs. I feel kind of betrayed by this whole thing and am really focused on finding good nutritional recipes.

I've done some research on this, and found that the only possible pathogen in wheat that carries the symptom described is Fusarium. Apparently the effect on animals is cumulative. So owners feeding the affected food over a few days twice a day may find their pets sick. Look for vomiting as the first symptom. I am as angered by this as you are. I have noted that the FDA spokesperson has mentioned the "the grain may not be responsible, but it may be a substance in the grain". This immediately signals to me that it may be Fusarium Mycotoxins. In this case, heat sterilization would not have been effective, and the grain and gluten suppliers/manufacturers should be responsible for using affected grain. Let's see what they have to say when they've done the testing - that should be in the news this coming week. Check my other posting updates on this subject. I will be keeping a close eye on all info coming from the FDA. I have made cat food for my ailing cat years ago. It was kind of fun! Using boiled chicken and rice as well as vitamin gravy, I concocted a stiff goo of chicken that my cat loved. It was a little messy while grinding it, but it was worth it. Within a week my cat showed signs of improvement. It was also cheaper in the long run than commercially canned food.

I would also like to thank you again for posting this link! I am glad that I was able to see what dog foods were recalled and make sure that out doggies were alright!! I hope that everyones dogs can get fixed and heal. Hopefully nothing else gets recalled due to health issues! :)

The FDA announced this week that they can't be sure none of the tainted wheat gluten got into human food. This is very scary because wheat gluten is in a lot of our food. Also please beware that Menu foods pushed the recall dates back to November. Alpo has a brand that contains Soy instead of wheat gluten, this is what I am feeding my dogs now. It is called Alpo Chop House Originals, it comes in several flavors and my dogs love it. For now this is my plan, to totally avoid wheat gluten for them and myself.
