Pet Food Recall Update

Posted by Joy Butler May 3, 2007

News on the pet food recall seems to have taken a back seat lately. But I still get newsletters in email keeping me updated. The recall list expanded when melamine was found, not only in wheat gluten, but in rice protein concentrate and in corn gluten. A notice from the Purina company assures pet owners that they now have a way to test for melamine. As best as I understand, new Purina foods should be safe. So far, I'm still cooking for my dogs but I may consider buying Purina in the near future. Be sure to watch your dog or cat for any unusual behavior and take them to a vet immediately if they lose their appetite, begin vomiting or seem lethargic. Keep an eye on the recall list.
