Yet another reason to feed Raw. Another Dog Food Recall, this time with canned food.

WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reuters) - A recall of canned meat products and dog food made at a Georgia plant due to botulism fears could involve tens of millions of cans that pose an urgent public health threat, U.S. officials said on Monday.

A quote from Reuters - Check the whole story out here - US FDA says food recall is urgent health threat

The company Castleberry’s is voluntarily recalling canned meat products as well as some commercial dog food due to Botulism - here is a list of their recalled items - www.castleberrys.com/news_productrecall.asp

Here is some information about Botulism from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) -

This is a serious threat to your dogs health. Please if you are feeding canned dog food be sure it is not one from this company.

OK this may be my last post on the Dog food Recall…not because I am not concerned about it, I truly am, but rather there is a fantastic blog I recently discovered that is right on top of this issue. So if any of you need more information on the dog food recall please visit the Pet Connection Blog

Their last post suggests three other places to go to get the most up to date information on what dog foods are being recalled (yes there are more foods being recalled)… these three are - itchmo, The Pet Food List, and Pet Food tracker

I am also going to make Pet Connection a permanent link on the side bar for future reference because they are doing a great job. Very passionate people.
