Skeeter commented on today’s post and it’s impawtant, so we’s copyin it heer -
WARNING: LC ate anoffer small pom-pom. It took her 3 days to hack it up (an we dint even know she had ate it until we saw it las night), so if there are any around you, maybe get rid of them… She hadda real hard time hacking it back up an it seems dangerous. Me anna The Big Thing was serious concerned for LC for the night.We haf spread a few of them aroun as prezzies, an I am worried about them now, so please collect and dispose of the little ones… The bigger ones are OK. It is just those little grape-size ones that are a tempation to SOME kitties.  (sigh) Skeeter

Hartz Vitamin Care has a recall as of 11/2/07! 
More details at Itchmo here. They never miss it.   Fanks Itchmo!!! 

Doane Pet Care is recalling a specific single lot of 55 pound bonus bags of Ol’ Roy Complete Nutrition dry dog food. This product was produced at one facility in Manassas, VA and was distributed exclusively by some Wal-Mart Stores. The press release states:

This product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. People handling this pet food can become exposed to Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with this pet food or any surfaces exposed to this product. Consumers who have the dry dog food bearing the code "04 0735 1" with a "Best By Apr 13 08" should not feed it to their pets. This voluntary recall has been issued because FDA detected Salmonella in the product. Doane Pet Care has not confirmed the presence of Salmonella, despite extensive independent testing of duplicate samples. Nonetheless, the company is issuing this voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution.

This product was distributed in 69 Wal-Mart stores in Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.

"The pain medication is the fifth contaminant found in pet foods during the past 2-1/2 months and can be toxic or lethal to pets, especially cats."

[FIVE? We knew about melamine and cyanuric acid, but what are the other three??]

At least five dog and cat food samples tested contained acetaminophen, and these five were NOT among the 150+ brands recalled since March.

The highest level of acetaminophen was found in a dog food sample submitted by a manufacturer, who got the results well over a month ago and was supposed to notify the FDA, but they DIDN’T DO IT! You can read the full story here.
