I thought that anyone with kittens or puppies who feed their furbabies a brand called Blue Ridge might want to read the attached article. Thankfully I have never fed this brand to any of my pets.

There have been tons of recalls lately not only on pet food, but some people food, too. It's hard to keep up with them all.

Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of them are beef products.

I pray all this nonsense will finally be stopped by the FDA, it isn't just the pet food that's been affected, I've seen recalls on hamburger meats etc as well but those are always on the news.

@rebelann My oldest son and also my son in law are both now making their own dog foods, portioning it out and freezing it. They are just tired of the recalls and worry they will buy a food that hurts their dog. Such a world we live in now...

Wow, another one? Is this a well known brand? I wonder how these contaminations happen - seems to happen too often .

@rebelann Why is that? Is it just old food that's been sitting around in storage somewhere?

That's a good question. I wonder if the media ever picked up on that and investigated.

I'd never heard of it before thankfully so I've never had the idea to try it. It always seems to happen more around the colder months.

I have never purchased this brand, but this is definitely information pet owners should know.

Not another one! Thank goodness you don’t use that food for the babies. People food is just as recalled. Sheesh!

I've noticed that most pet food recalls involve beef and it's the same for people food.

The difference is that the media writes about people food recalls, I just wish they'd do the same for pet foods.

@rebelann I think it’s a high end brand I recognize the name but don’t use it

I am not familiar with this brand. I am considering to buy cheap meats and to prepare the meals of my cat myself.

That could be a good idea except that so far it would seem a lot of recalls involve beef.

I remember my first kitty, Prissy, she loved to lick the edible parts off of chicken bones with her prickly tongue.

@rebelann - My cat and the one of the neighbors do not want beef, they like chicken, poultry in general and white fish. The Italian butchers sell the chicken carcass at a very cheap price, I could buy them, boil and remove all the edible parts for my kitty.

That is never good when pet food is recalled since many people buy in bulk for their pets. I have never used this brand, My cats enjoy Friskies dry food,

We've never used this brand, but I hate worrying about feeding potentially unsafe food to my furkids. Thanks for helping get the word out, because I had not heard about this!

You're welcome. So far it seems it's those off brands that end up on the recall list, I'd never heard of this brand before this recall. I checked out Blue Buffalo before I started feeding it to my furkids over a decade ago and they've had about 2 over the decades which is pretty good in my book.

I will always alert mylotters to recalls when I find out about them. I feed Tuffy dry as well but never heard of blue ridge before.

I am extremely careful what my fur babies get to eat. I make sure that they get stuff that is tried and true. I also have a friend that owns a chain of pet stores along the area that I live in, so he keeps me informed about any problems with pet food products. I pass the word along to other pet owners in my sphere of influence so that their fur babies are protected too. Petey just went by to check and see what I got for them in the way of pet food. They know that I don't come home without a good supply of food for them. And they know I make sure it's the best. Thank you for the information.
