Dog Food Recall Alert Involving Multiple Brands

By Alice

May 2012

Dog food recall, as you already may know, Diamond Pet Food Manufacturing is currently involved in a serious salmonella recall involving multiple brands of dog foods.

Here is a video that will help bring you up to date and give you some more information.

By the time John Albrecht was able to create and upload this video more food companies (including Solid Gold and Apex Pet Foods) have come forward to voluntarily recall their formulas and there probably will be more to come.

The two links below includes both dog and cat food products that have been recalled over the past years.

Here is a link that has a compiled list found on the FDA website that represents all pet food recalled since March 2007. If and when new information is received, the list will be updated.

Pet Food Recall Products List

Here is a link where you can find the latest Recalls and Safety Alerts from 2012 to 2008

Recalls & Withdrawals

The sad thing about these recalls is you see the same companies year after year and most people never hear about them until it is too late. The news media doesn’t seem to talk too much about them, unless it is major recall like in 2007. Plus most of these companies have no idea who is buying their food or when it was purchased to even notify them.

Those reasons above are why I always recommend Life’s Abundance Pet Food. They have never had any of their products recalled since they have been in business and that has been over 13 years.

If something would happen they know who and when any of their products were purchased. The Reps that work for Life’s Abundance know who their customers are and what and when they bought it and would be notified. Our customers are not just people that walked into a store and bought a bag of food. They are pet owners who we care about and we want to give them the best we can, from customers service to healthy food and health information for their pets. Because we care.

Want to compare what you are feeding now to Life’s Abundance? Check it out here ==> Compare. Of course you really can’t use a comparison chart to find the difference in pet food. There are other factors that need to be considered. The quality and freshness of ingredients, where the products are manufactured, how long they are stored before they are sold on the market, and so on…Most important has your pet food recalled?

The recent recalls of pet food products have many people looking for safe and nutritious alternatives for their pets. Are you searching for a product that you can feel good about giving your pet?

The main reason why I’m a supporter of healthy dog food is that you know what your pet is eating. I recommend that you choose a brand of pet food that is free of chemical preservatives and colors, with consistent ingredients and one that has never been recalled like Life’s Abundance healthy pet food.

To You and Your Pets Health,

Alice

By Alice

May 2012

Solid Gold WolfCub and Wolfking Dog Food products that were manufactured at the Diamond Pet Foods plant in Gaston, South Carolina facility has now been added to the dog food recalled

The products involved in this voluntary recall are:

Solid Gold WolfCub Large Breed Puppy Food, 4 lb, 15 lb, and 33 lb, with a best before date of December 30, 2012 and batch code starting with SGB1201

4 lb identifying UPC 093766750005

15 lb identifying UPC 093766750012

33 lb identifying UPC 093766750029

Solid Gold WolfKing Large Breed Adult Dog Food, 4 lb, 15 lb, and 28.5 lb, with a best before date of December 30, 2012 and batch code starting with SGL1201

4 lb identifying UPC 093766750050

Other Solid Gold recipes, sizes or brands of food are not impacted by this voluntary recall. Pet owners who are unsure if the product they purchased is included in the recall, would like replacement product or have additional questions, may call us at (800) 364-4863 (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM through 5:00 PM Pacific time).

Also Apex Pet Foods Initiates Voluntary Recall of Dry Pet Food Due to the Potential for Salmonella you see that notice here: ==>Apex

Apex in another brand of dog food that is manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods, that may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recalled product was distributed in South Carolina only.

Your best choice for your pets health right now would be look for a brand that isn’t made at Diamond Pet Food. Seems like they have been having problems every year and in my opinion that is a track record that I wouldn’t want any parts of.

To You and Your Pets Health,

Alice
