I just heard about this one on the news.

"(AP) Natural Balance Pet Foods recalled two kinds of pet food after receiving reports of animals vomiting and experiencing kidney problems, the Food and Drug Administration said Monday.

The recall includes all date codes of Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Food. The company does not know the cause of the problem, but said it is focused on one particular lot.

Natural Balance Pet Foods is working with the FDA to investigate the matter and is urging consumers to not feed either pet food product to their animals."

Here's a link:

Edit: I did forget to do a forum search and relied on my memory. Sorry if I missed a thread on this.

Maybe they're trying to knock off all the pets to get the rest of the aisles in the store.
Feed just the bi-peds from those same mush mills.
Maybe that cheerios ad is prophetic.

We just switched to NB for canned food … and our dog ate a can of that very food tonight. Jeebus.

It's getting extremely nerve-wracking to figure out what sort of food to buy. I'd just start feeding our dog regular meat and vegetables, but he gets gastroenteritis when allowed too much "human food" so we haven't let him eat it for ages. I can't imagine what would happen if we tried to make him subsist on it.

I know what you mean. I thought I was safe after checking the ingredients in the dry food Louie eats. There are no wheat products in it, but it's rice and lamb. So now I have to be paranoid about the rice in the next bag?! Maybe I'll just go to the vets and buy some of whatever they have that's the oldest stock. after making sure none of their little patients have died from eating it.

Louie would probably get along just fine eating only people food, but I rarely cook decent meals for myself, so I can't quite see me cooking for him.
