Copied this off my news homepage this morning:

WASHINGTON -- There's more bad news for pet owners.

The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers Thursday not to use American Bullie A.B. Bull Pizzle Puppy Chews and Dog Chews manufactured and distributed by T.W. Enterprises, of Ferndale, Wash., because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

The FDA also said Sunshine Mills Inc. is recalling dog biscuits made with imported Chinese wheat gluten. Testing has revealed the wheat gluten, a protein source, was contaminated with melamine, used to make plastics and other industrial products.
Sunshine, of Red Bay, Ala., sells pet food and treats under its own brands as well as private labels sold by grocery, mass merchant and dollar stores, according to its Web site. A list of recalled products was not immediately available.

Also Thursday, Menu Foods, a major manufacturer of brand- and private-label wet pet foods, expanded its original recall to include a broader range of dates, the FDA said. Menu Foods was the first of at least six companies to recall pet foods and treats made with the contaminated ingredient.

Salmonella can cause serious infections in dogs and cats, and, if there is cross contamination, in people, especially children, the aged, and people with compromised immune systems, FDA said.

Salmonella can potentially be transferred to people handling these pet treats, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products, FDA said.


And I just heard the tv news guys talking about "Natural Balance" dog foods now being on the recall list.  DANG!  I just dont know what to buy anymore!

Um, I just got on the Pedigree site...the Lamb & Rice has Corn as the first ingredient, chicken by-product meal as the second!  Lamb...is way down the list.  Also, it's got corn gluten and wheat gluten in it!  Maybe it hasn't been recalled yet but who knows - I dont' give my dogs anything with that stuff in it since the recall.  

It's filled with fillers instead of meat and veggies..not something I would feed my dogs anyway.  Also has the nasty dyes in it. JMO.  Check out www.dogfoodproject.com
