Cross contamination can occur from using the same equipment and supplies, not
just from using the same raw inngredients.

Wellness used Menu to manufacture their food but said they had their own
suppliers & not to worry about cross contaminationÂ… I just donÂ’t know!

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to give you a little more info on the food recall.
I was feeding Nutro Max small bites (DRY) to my 3 Aussies and 1 Corgi. For the
last 3 weeks on and off all 4 dogs have vomited yellow bile. I did not think
much of it because it was on and off...maybe they were eating snow...whatever.
Then the recall...only wet?
My brother called me on Sunday on the way back from the Rescue show and his
10 yr old Sheltie spayed bitch was vomiting bile on and off for a few days and
now has blood in her urine. They brought in a UA and dog is being treated for a
UA infection.
Yesterday he called me and his male-13 month old German Shepherd has blood in
its urine...guess what...feeding DRY Nutro Max. Another UA to vets. No
infection.
The dispatcher at the police department where I work over heard me
talking to my brother...she has 2 mixes on Nutro Ultra DRY...they have been
vomiting bile on and off for about 4 weeks.
A women in my obedience class...her mother has a Terrier on Nutro All Natural
DRY...dog is being treated for blood in urine.
The dispatcher called the FDA today and spoke with Bill Boiven (Spelling) at
781-596-7783. She gave him all our info and he contacted me. Guess what!!! They
have already started to launch an investigation on the dry dog food. They are
getting millions of phone calls about this. He did tell me that the foods are
processed by 2 different manufactures but this is way to coincidental.
Yes I have now put my dogs on boiled rice, hamburger and Wellness. Just
thought some of you might want to know and maybe call if you are having
problems. Seems to be more wide spread than wet or canned.
Thanks
