Michelle, your other comment was removed. When this news story was produced the recall was limited as stated. The current 31 State recall is new.

The pet food recall is now 31 states. Please call the FDA to find out the 31 states. 240-276-9300.

such as buy 10 bags get your 11th free. It’s worth a try and trust me your dogs will love it.

us over a month. 4 adults dogs eating only 10lbs of food between the 4 of them is pretty good! These foods are also all natural and organic so they are never involved in any recalls; you know your food is always safe. Go to your local pet store and ask about these brands (Precise, Royal Canin, Verus, Wellness, California Natural, Innova, Canidae, Merrik) many stores, such as Pets Plus, will even give you your money back for the dog food if your dog doesnt like it and has programs

ingredients they will be along the lines of Chicken, brown rice (the only rice with nutritional value for dogs), and usually another protein source such as chicken meal (chicken meal is just dehydrated chicken, very good) your dogs will eat much less of the food so even though it cost a bit more you go through less food and it ends up saving you money. They also poop less, live longer, and are overall healthier. I have four shih tzus and I feed them Royal Canin dry food. 10lbs of that food last

same as the all naturals foods and you are getting pedigree quality food. You can check all the ingredients yourself. Stay away from the first 3 ingredients being corn, by products of any kind, and white or brewers rice. Go for foods with chicken, chicken meal, or any meats that dont have by product after them, and BROWN rice. These are good foods. Try going to a specialty pet store and ask about a better food. Precise, Royal Canin, and Verus are all really good foods. When you look at the

whatever it is and you get the bones, feathers, coat, feet, beaks, etc) and white or brewers rice (no nutritional value, just a filler) because of this our dogs need to eat more to get the nutrients they need and poop a lot more too. Also…science diet and eukanuba are not very good foods either. They used to be but they were bought out by other companies who, to save money, changed the ingredients to fillers and by products. These foods cost about the

BETTER FOODS TO FEED YOUR PET AND WHY
If your dog has diarrhea mixing rice with their food and even some unflavored Metamucil helps to firm up stool. Pedigree is really not a very good food to begin with. Neither is IAMs Beneful Purina or any of the other foods you have usually heard of. The first several ingredients are usually corn (we know what happens when our body gets corn, we poop it out and dont use it, same with dogs) meat by products (the take the meat off of

Mars Pet Foods is lying like Menu Foods. In August I informed them our 3 year old dog became ill after eating CANNED Pedigree. They said they had no such issue. Boy had violent vomiting & diarrhea. I took cases of canned food back to Walmart & told the manager about the Pedigree problem. Today, I called Mars back. They are insistent the canned food is not part of the Salmonella recall. I got on pet websites & found many blogs; others say their dogs also got sick on Pedigree CANNED food.

Mars is lying. I reported my dog had diahrea and vomiting in August after consuming the canned Pedigree. I reported the problem to Mars. They assured me there was not problem. I called them back today and they still deny a problem. Our dog pooped and vomited all over our house! On pet blogs other pet owners report the same problem. I also found a CDC report that Mars had a Samonella Crooks. I hope Mars goes out of business.
