The whole Dog Journal

2007-05-05T13:28:00.000-07:00

If anyone would like some quality pet reading material, I would recommend "The Whole Dog Journal." It's a monthly published newsletter/magazine that prints quality, unbiased stories about pet ownership.
I would recommend it HIGHLY.
www.whole-dog-journal.com for information.

This past month was excellent regarding the food recall situation.

I have a copy at the store if anyone would like to borrow!!!

See you at the next blog!!

PET FOODS CONTAINING RICE PROTEIN CONCENTRATE

OTHER PET FOOD BRANDS CONTAINING RICE PROTEIN
CONCENTRATE 04/18/07
Recent reports of Wilbur-Ellis selling melamine-laced
rice protein concentrate to five different pet food
companies has sent pet parents into a downward spiral
of mistrust for the pet food industry and the
authorities who regulate it. Both the FDA and
Wilbur-Ellis, the U.S. distributor of the poisonous
substance, have refused to identify all of the pet
food companies who purchased the rice protein
concentrate. As of this writing, we only know that
Diamond, the makers of Natural Balance's venison-based
forumulas, was one of the five companies. Until the
FDA or Wilbur-Ellis fully discloses all five pet food
companies, it is prudent to assume that ANY pet food
product containing rice protein concentrate is
potentially poisonous. If any of our readers has
knowledge of a pet food other than Natural Balance
Venison formulas which contains rice protein
concentrate, please send us an email and we will post
it here, with the appropriate disclaimer. Itchmo.com's
forum has also created a special thread for reporting
foods containing RCP.

DISCLAIMER: The foods listed below are not under
recall. However, they all have been reported to
contain rice protein concentrate (a.k.a., brown rice
protein; rice gluten). While some companies are
claiming their RPC is "safe" and/or is not from the
same supplier involved in the Natural Balance recall,
we advise against using these products until the FDA
has completed its investigation and emphatically
declared all RPC, be it from China or elsewhere, as
100% free from contamination.

BREAKING NEWS: Natural Balance Pulling Venison Dry Dog Formula
April 15th, 2007

Itchmo has confirmed an email from Natural Balance that they are removing
two products from sale:

* Venison and Brown Rice Dry Dog Formula
* Venison and Green Pea Dry Dog Formula

These products do not contain wheat gluten. No deaths or serious illnesses
have been reported and no recall warning has been issued. The warning
applies only to products sold in the last week, according to Natural
Balance.

Please know that at this time we are removing this product from the
shelves, as we have had some phone calls indicating gastric upset after
eating this formula. At this time, we are unsure if this could just be a
particular batch problem, or simply customers switching diets too fast.
However, in the meantime while we are looking further into this matter, we
are not recommending to feed this formula, and are suggesting to feed our
Potato and Duck or Sweet Potato and Fish Dry Dog Formula.

To all pet owners:
Here is a forum to discuss pet nutrition. Use it wisely to share relevant information, especially with the advent of the Menu Foods episode.
All foods in Time Fur Treats are NOT generated from Menu Foods. Thank goodness!
