recent recalls on food





Just got this information and thought I'd pass it along to everyone. As of 8-16 - 2010 Merrick has also been among the list of recalls. It includes some food and some suppliments such as Dis Taste Tablets (given to stop  stool eating) and some ear powders used at vet clinics also. Check the various lists on the sites below.

Also the egg recall is a biggy because some owners believe that adding a raw egg to their dogs diet is good. Not really so,  it's risky.  There is a giant egg recall going on now so if you practice  this check your cartons. Better yet , don't give it to your dog at all, there's really no nutrional need.
