If you haven't heard about the expanding dog food recall please check out this link. The concern is Salmonella contamination and this can potentially impact both dogs and owners. In fact 14 people have already become ill enough to need medical attention. There are probably many more that had less serious illness. It does not appear that very many of these foods have been distributed in WA but there are some major brands included in the recall including Natural Balance, Kirkland and Canidae. Check the list then check your bag for the Production Code and Best Before dates to determine if your dog's food is affected.
And use this recall as a reminder to always keep the pertinent information from every bag of dog food that you buy. Usually recalls are identified by the Product Code and the Best Before or Manufactured date. If you use a separate bin to store your dog food keep an envelope taped to the lid that you can slip that information from the bag into each time you purchase a new bag.
If you have any concerns about your dog please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible.
