thanks for posting that. I've got a dog here at the pet hotel eating Euk Naturally wild, I'll have to check the date on the bag.

No problem. When I first saw this, I was worried about Brian's boys and the others that feed Eukanuba here. I don't think this part of the recall was very public, not like the feline prescription diets. That worried me!

of course, now I will have to deal with this today since the owners are in Ireland for another 10 days, grrrrrrr.......

Fortunately, my guys aren't on any of those formulas. Phew!

It seems like a very conservative recall. No dogs have gotten sick, but since they're concerned about the possibility of contamination, they're recalling all of the food.

Brian, I think the concern is more about humans than about dogs. People, especially immune compromised people (for example, I take high dose steroids) who handle the food could theoretically become ill from it.
And THAT would be a big mess for P&G !

True. From a business standpoint, liability is dramatically higher for people than for dogs.

Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.

Pets with Salmonella infections may have decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, pets may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
