Salmonella chews for dogs

[asterroc]

Pet owners need to avoid certain pet chews because they could be contaminated with salmonella, the Food and Drug Administration warned Thursday.

The contaminated product -- American Bullie A.B. Bull Pizzle Puppy Chews and Dog Chews -- was manufactured by T.W. Enterprises of Ferndale, Washington.

Also on Thursday, the FDA added dog biscuits to the nationwide recall of products that might be contaminated with potentially toxic wheat gluten. (Full story)

The recalled biscuits are made by Sunshine Mills of Red Bay, Alabama.

Ugh. As time goes on I less and less want to feed my animals anything that came out of a bag/can/etc :( which doesn't really leave with many options...

And yet I've been told it's hard to get correct nutrition for pets by making your own food.

what the fuck is up with all the poisonous pet foods recently? :(

They say this one's entirely unrelated. I think that makes it worse to me.

...I thought most dogs/cats were not susceptible to salmonella food poisoning.

Dunno. I always assumed that was one reason we're not supposed to give them raw meat. However, being entirely allergic to everything with fur, I've never had personal experience. I just really feel horrible for all the furry pet owners out there lately.

I recently made a list of life goals, and I put riding a horse on it as something to aim for in my 40's or 50's. It'll probably require a few years of allergy shots before I can do so. :-\ Unless by then I've "grown out" of my allergies...

Yeah, see, even if Brodie weren't on a prescription diet, I wouldn't let her have those chews anyway, becase THEY'RE MADE OF BULL COCK. And for some reason, that just creeps me right out.
