Update: Pet Food Recall List  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 82/100. elp388 (1846) 5 years ago

A week ago, my dog died due to eating pet food that (at the time) wasn't on the recall list.

A few people have asked where we can find the updated list of pet food that has made the recall list. I found it and I also found that it's not only wheat gluten but they have now added products that have rice gluten to the list.
which has widened the recall list to include dry food and pet treats.

you can find the list at the following link:
http://www.accessdata.fda...

also visit: http://www.premium4pets.net/pet-food-recall.html

it also has the cat food lists. click all the links for further details about each product.


please check out these lists, after watching helplessly as my dog suffered and died.. it's a horrible death that can be prevented if you know. don't trust your grocery store to remove these tainted items, because I have went to several places and seen the recalled brands still on the shelf. they are there to make money... even if it takes your pet's life to do it.


what are you feeding your pet?

Well I checked both even though I've had the food here for a while and they have been eating it. I had to check both the dog and the cat food lists. Thankfully none of ours are on there. We buy the Dollar General brand dry cat food and for dog food it is Old Roy but not the sliced or pouch brands. So we are ok here. Thanks for the links to check them at.


myLot reputation of 82/100. elp388 (1846)  5 years ago

you are welcome! I'm glad that you took the time to check it out.


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)  5 years ago

When it comes to recalls I check them out, whether they deal with me or for my pets. I don't want them to get ill after all.

Thanks so much for posting this. it is a great help for us pet owners. I cannot believe that there are more contaminated pet food being recalled. When will it all end?


myLot reputation of 82/100. elp388 (1846)  5 years ago

it will end when companies stop trying to save a dollar by importing ingredients from unregulated sources. US and Canada have strict guidelines concerning food and other countries don't have to go by our regulations... and they know it.

Hi elp, I haven't checked the sites out yet but I will I promise...
We have gone back to feeding ours a lot of scraps which that's supposedly not good either. They get potatoes and gravy & green beans, a lot (no bones) We have vitamins we give all our animals. We do have to supplement their diets with pet food, (dry) and so far ours wasn't on the list. But I'll look, and if we hear anything else, we'll stay in touch.


myLot reputation of 82/100. elp388 (1846)  5 years ago

they say that scraps isn't good for our pets but honestly, I remember when I was a kid we couldn't afford cat and dog food and we did feed our animals whatever we ate.. and they never had any kind of health problems. so I'm not sure where they get this notion.

Thank you for this Sweetie and I am glad to say that the one I feed Gissi is not on there but I will obviously still be worried like many Dog Owners in case it should get in the other Foods to
Again Sweety I am so sorry about your Dog


myLot reputation of 82/100. elp388 (1846)  5 years ago

thank you, Gabs... I rally appreciate your kindness :)
what scares me is that the recall list seems to be adding more and more brands on it's lists each day. I feel like there is nothing safe anymore. and how do we know that this wheat and rice gluten won't find it's way into our food supply? I heard the other day that they had some hogs quarantined because they ate poisonous feed ... what if they hadn't been caught and ended up as being ham and bacon? it's scary!


myLot reputation of 95/100. gabs8513 (23375)   ranked 696 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

Yes Elp it is very scary I just hope that it all stops soon and I would like to know how it got there in the first Place

Elp, I feel absolutely sick to my stomach. I am so very, very sorry. I had not read about your dog before now. I so wish I could have been there for you because I know how hard it is to lose a beloved member of your family, especially when it dies in such a horrible way. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I haven't checked out your list but I will as soon as I leave myLot and I thank you so much for posting it for those of us who have cats and dogs.

(((((Hugs)))))


myLot reputation of 82/100. elp388 (1846)  5 years ago

thank you blue bird..I miss my dog so much but I'm hoping that by sharing links and finding as much information as I can find... will prevent other people from having to lose their little buddies like I did.

thanks for your support and your hugs!
((hugs))


myLot reputation of 95/100. bluebird1956 (153)   ranked 1,889 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

I have checked the lists. My cat and dog both eat Purina and so far Purina has managed, thank God. to stay off the list. Purina has even sent out letters to its Canadian customers telling us that its food is safe. I certainly hope it stays that way. Although my big guy will eat anything, my little girl is extremely fussy about what goes in her mouth to the point that she will not even eat wet or semi-moist cat food.

I think it is wonderful of you to think of the rest of us in this time of grieving, though. I know you don't want to see any other animals have to suffer and I think the fact that you are undering this research shows what a marvelous person you are.


myLot reputation of 82/100. elp388 (1846)  5 years ago

I really don't want another pet to die.. I love animals even if they aren't mine. if knowledge can prevent another animal from having to suffer like my fur baby did.. I will hunt everything that I can and pass it along.

Thank you so much for the list! You're such a big help. I shall be giving this list to my sister. She still feeds her dogs with cooked food, though, because I told her what happened to your dog. She also has cats so the list could really help her a lot. There are really people who are willing to sacrifice lives other than theirs just to earn money. So pathetic! Thanks again for the link and happy myLotting! Hope you have already gotten over your loss.


myLot reputation of 82/100. elp388 (1846)  5 years ago

I'm glad that you are passing it around.. hopefully no more pets will have to die.
thank you for taking the time to respond and for passing this info on to other pet owners.

Thank you for the links and for posting this. I was one of the posters asking about where to find the lists.

I looked at all of them and neither my cats food nor my dogs food is listed so I'm just praying they are alright.

I feel so badly for those who have lost their beloved pets over this whole mess. I really hope there is a class action lawsuit being filed by someone.

(((elp)))


myLot reputation of 82/100. elp388 (1846)  5 years ago

yes, you were one of the people who asked about the updated lists!
I'm glad that your pets are still healthy:) I know that you still worry about what might be recalled next.. I am too! I am feeding my other dog a brand that isn't on the list and pray every time I fill up his dish.

I have heard that 50 pet owners have sued menu foods and they are suing the ones who sold them the wheat gluten.
