1. There is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products

Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
Abdominal cramping
Fever

Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.

2. Really a shame but they've gone downhill

since P&G bought them. Used to only feed my guys Evo but stopped a couple years ago. The quality seemed to of gone down while the price sky rocketed.

7. You might consider Fromms.

American made and really good stuff.

8. I've been using Taste of the Wild.

For both the dogs and cats. Like that they have different flavors/combos so I can switch between them and though they had one recall they were very good at taking the bag I had back and replacing one that I'd just used since I still had it. It seemed to be more of a recall of caution than that any pets got sick.

9. We actually have to switch foods.

From s is a little hard to find in West Virginia. Maybe we'll move our two older dogs to taste of the wild...

10. ... you can order dogfood online via PetCo & they deliver w/ FedEx.

... not sure if they carry Taste of the Wild, tho. My kiddos are on Dick Van Patten's Grain Free.

PetCo will even set up 'repeat delivery' (anytime from 1 week to 3 months rotation) so you don't have to remind yourself to order.

11. I get ours from

a local store but I am told that Tractor Supply carries TOTW. Alsp I've used and been happy with www.petfooddirect.com th ough I always find a coupon for free shipping or 18% or higher off. My dogs and cats have been doing great on it.

3. Yikes! thanks so much! I just bought a case of California Naturals today!

But it was the canned food. This was recommended by my dog's vet and he's been on it forever. Even though it says the canned isn't affected, I'm going to give the store where I bought it a call tomorrow. They're used to me asking about things like this and have been aware of what I'm talking about...

4. I used to use EVO dry cat food

Purchased a new bag and NONE of my 13 cats would touch it. Called them and they said to just return to the place of purchase for a new bag. I didn't have any problems with the next bag but I then stopped using EVO.

I started using California Natural made by same company and I stopped using that when they had the last recall for Salmonella.
