 I'm not a- morning pug! | 
| Barked: Sun Mar 18, '07 5:47pm PST | |  |  |  |  | I have been feeding my pugs Nutro Lamb and Rice mixed with the canned Nutro that has been recalled. My guys have been getting 2 tablespoons wiht each meal. I am a nervous wreck right now. I know it has to be bad for them to pull all of that food off the shelves.
I am so mad!! I researched and felt really good about Nutro.
I went out and bought California Natural dry and canned. I am still putting some dry Nutro in their food, but the cans are going back to the store.
My guys are acting fine, playing and eating. I'm calling the vet tomorrow and will at the least take them in early (like this week) for their heartworm test, and have them pull an extra vial for a blood panel.
I'm praying that my ignorance about the Nutro production facilities does not cost my babies their health or their lives since I have been feeding them the recalled food every single day. |  |  |  |  |

 I didn't do it! | 
| Barked: Sun Mar 18, '07 8:09pm PST | |  |  |  |  | This is h0rrible! I was out of town and I had no idea all this stuffed happened! I heard nothing on the news whatsoever. Penny eats Natural Balance, but I do have some Mighty Dog canned food as asll was the Nutro Choice pouches that I mix with her kibble from time to time. From the website, the pouches are definitely on the list. I don't think the cans are on the list, yet....
So, should I throw them out? Or take them to where I bought them and demand a refund even though I don't have the receipts anymore? |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Sun Mar 18, '07 10:56pm PST | |  |  |  |  | Penny, you'll want to return them. And I'd bring a list of the recalled foods with you, just in case the store you bought the food from is unaware of the recall.
If you ate the recalled food, I would get a checkup at the vet. Even if you're acting fine, you could still be sick, just not showing any symptoms yet. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Mon Mar 19, '07 3:35am PST | |  |  |  |  | You're right about the Nutro canned not beign on the Menu website list, but if you go to the Nutro website they are recalling all of their pouches and canned food. My pet store still had it on the shelf when I went in to buy the California Natural. I talked to the mangager and she had pulled the Iams and Euk. only because at that time that was the only thing she had been told to pull by her supervisors. She was pretty upset when I told her about all the other brands.
I'm sure the vets offices will have the phones ringing off the hook this morning. My guys are acting fine, so I am going to get them in for a check up and blood panel this week once the panic settles down. if they were showing any symptoms they would have gone the emergency vet this weekend. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Mon Mar 19, '07 5:13am PST | |  |  |  |  | I find it very irritating that Menu food is not listing the name of the "national" brands, like Iams, Eukenuba and Purina on their website, but only the regional "store" brands. People are going to the Menu site and thinking that their foods aren't on the list.
The higher cost National brands don't want people to figure out that their higher priced pet food is being churned out by the same factory making these "bargain" brands, and in many cases it is the same food!
Mighy Dog or Ol' Roy? The only difference may be the packaging. |  |  |  |  |
