I’ve been doing more research regarding commercial dog food, and I’ve been finding research done much earlier than this current recall that talks about how commercial dog food shortens the lifes of dogs. The chemicals they put in it are harmful to dogs, resulting in diseases appearing earlier than natural, and also commercial dog food does not contain all of the vitamins and minerals required for a healthy dog.

I just found this article on the dog food industry. It confirms what I have been saying, that commercial dog food has never been safe or healthy for our dogs, even before this year’s dog food recall. The article talks about all of the harmful items put in dog food, including other dogs who have been euthanized! Further, another article I found states that the FDA is disputing the findings of acetaminophen found in some batches of dog food, but it cannot even confirm that it has tested the same batches!! Between the government and the pet food agencies, our pets are at severe risk.

At least 4 people have been taken to hospital in Indiana and Texas because of botulism poisoning associated with eating Castleberry’s Hot Dog Chili Sauce.
The food was produced by Castleberry’s Food Company of Augusta, Georgia, and distributed across the nation. This company is now voluntarily recalling every product (about 80 types) manufactured on a specific production line in the past two years. Their products are sold in more than 17,000 stores in the US and Canada.

From what I gather, CornellUniversity and the FDA are performing studies on the cause of the poisoning. At first, it was believed that rat poison accidentally contaminated the wheat gluten. After dissecting cats and dogs that have died from eating the contaminated food, the hypothesis is melamine, a substance used in plastics production that includes counter tops. A small amount was found in the liver. More info will be syndicated shortly on their findings, I am sure. The wheat gluten that was contaminated came from China. If anyone has more to offer, please post your comments. For the treatment of melamine poisoning, please consult your vet. Fluid therapy is recommended.

Menu Pet Foods has apparently been harassing pet owners who obtained lawyers to sue for their pets’ deaths from contaminated pet food. These poor people had to go to court to get a Judge to order Menu Foods to stop harassing them with phone calls. You can read more about it by clicking here.
This recall is getting out of control. Diamond pet foods just announced that it is recalling its nutra nuggets lamb meal and rice formula dog food. And I read somewhere the other day that over 100 different pet foods have been recalled.

T.W. Enterprises of Ferndale, Washington is recalling its entire line of dog and cat treats because they may be contaminated with Salmonella.
Symptoms to watch out for are: Anorexia, diarrhea, lethargy, vomiting, changes in water consumption and urination habits. The lethal feature of the toxin is kidney failure. If you suspect these symptoms are related to commercial dog food that you are feeding your dog, you should immediately take your dog to the nearest veterinarian or animal hospital.

As the nationwide recall of contaminated dog food widens, the Nestle Purina Pet Care Company has now recalled some of its dog food upon discovery that it is tainted with ingredients that have contributed to the kidney failure and death of dogs.
The contaminated ingredient is wheat gluten from China. This wheat gluten is from the same supplier that delivered wheat gluten to Menu Foods who earlier recalled more than 95 brands of dog food sold as private label dog food and as major brands through large dog food retailers.
