Pet Food ALERT: Natural Balance is withdrawing DRY “Venison and Brown Rice” for DOGS?
Itchmo has confirmed an email from Natural Balance that they are removing two products from sale:
Venison and Brown Rice Dry Dog Formula
Venison and Green Pea Dry Dog Cat Formula
These products do not contain wheat gluten. No deaths or serious illnesses have been reported and no recall warning has been issued. The warning applies only to products sold in the last week, according to Natural Balance.
“Please know that at this time we are removing this product from the shelves, as we have had some phone calls indicating gastric upset after eating this formula. At this time, we are unsure if this could just be a particular batch problem, or simply customers switching diets too fast. However, in the meantime while we are looking further into this matter, we are not recommending to feed this formula, and are suggesting to feed our Potato and Duck or Sweet Potato and Fish Dry Dog Formula.”

THIS is sad whats happening to our pets food. WE were better off when we grew our own foods here in the USA.———-I fear if we use that foreign grains in our foods as well.———–To clear up one thing here it was reported on TV that the wheat products from foreign countries were causing some of the problems with our pet foods.AND in some cases caused death, in some animals.

Yeah thanks for the heads up. Would hate for my dog to have problems because I didn’t research the food carefully enough. Although I don’t feed it Natural Balance, its good to know not to trust this brand name though.

Oh shut up … how long does this recall drivel go on for? Those of us who are lucky enough to live in countries where they produce pet food properly are bored sick of it.
